it should be interesting to see Alonso's reaction who is usually the first to complain about "undrrrrrrrrriveable conditions".

It would be awesome if it was like for motorcycles, leader decides. Recipe for a shit-storm after the race :lol:

So the GP is gonna be dry. It has been years it is always the other way around : when they predict rain, it always comes later, which means after the race...


I believe it will rain this time...I'm convinced of that. Everybody, prepare the popcorn on Sunday coz the race is gonna be fun!

If Kimi Raikkonen finishes the Brazilian Grand Prix this sunday, he will be the first driver since Nick Heidfeld in 2008 who finishes all races during a season. Does Kimi have a new record then? Because in 2008 there where only 18 races?

Kimi has made a new record on race kilometers completed during one season already. Also Kimi is the only driver that has completed every single lap this season, while Heidfeld did not in 2008. However, Heidfeld finished every race between 2007 France to 2009 Italy, total of 33 races without retirements.

Tbh, I'm not too fussed who gets the title. If I had to choose, probably Alonso. But I just want a good race to end the season, hoping for some rain to make it a bit more unpredictable also.

Massa confirms he's prepared to drop his trousers, bend over and be given some serious "team orders"...

post race interview: " Kimi, you finished all the races this year, how do you feel about it?"

Kimi: "i don't give a shit"

It will rain heavily. Vettel will crash. Alonso is leading the race, and then they stop the race after 36 laps.

The thread is only 3 pages long, surely you should have been able to see these posts?

Friday (33C) and Saturday (31C) look hot but Sunday (21C) is looking much cooler, according to wunderground which isn't the most accurate but a trend is there.

last year there was a 100% chance of rain at Sao Paulo, but that was different. It were showers which developped through the day and some of them did indeed hit Sao Paulo city, but not the track itself.

this year it is a cold front, so that's about as sure as it gets to it being completely wet. The only question is, when will the cold front move over Sao Paulo? I understand from Lucasjeha that cold fronts often see an almost non-stop rain which can last for days.

It's 100% chance of rain every year for race day... never happens. Basically, it won't rain or will be a lil bit too wet and long safety car periods...

Thanks to a little bit of rain we had a fantastic end of the 2008 season.

I suspect that's because people don't actually realise what is being predicted. 100% chance of rain on Sunday. So rain between midnight and midnight within a 20 mile radius of the track. Not 100% in 90 minute window at one specific location.

What's the last race when it actually rained throughout the race, without any pause in rain? Possibly Fuji 2007? I don't think Silverstone 2008 had constant rain.
F1 has been amazingly lucky past few years when it comes to nice weather.
