Brazilian GP F-1 SPOILER World Championship.
Shock Truly & Toyota qualified 3. Massa 1st and Kimi 2nd and Hamilton 4th needing to finish no less than 5th for driver championship. Both Mclarens need to have finishes up front for the manufactures championship. Crowd went wild for Massa and Ferrari
Rain predicted so it could be a wild time in turn one.
11.30 EST Sunday

The way that I saw it was...
1. Massa
2. Trulli
3. Kimi
4. Lewis
5. Heikki
6. Alonso
What's crazy is that both of the Ferraris are ahead of Lewis and Alonso is starting right behind Lewis on the dirty side of the track. On top of this, they are calling for rain tomorrow. This thing isn't over by a long shot! I'm fairly confident that the FIA and the Brazilian stewards will do anything that they can to hand the title to Massa and Ferrari.

Yeah knowing Hamilton he'll make a move for the front he has not been conservative so I wouldn't expect him to be now. he will need to create a gap as quickly as possible in front of F A .

I think once Mclaren saw that Heikki wouldnt be competitive with the Ferrari's (hence no constructors), they put Lewis with more fuel so that as long as he gets past turn 1 and the first stint, with the Ferrari's who are DEFINITELY light, he'll have some open track to gain a position or two and then put it in cruise control.
He definitely doesnt need to be in front trying to secure the top spot. And Heikki can be useful to hold off Alonso or give Lewis no pressure for 5th if Fernando were to get by.
My bet is that Kimi wont run off with Felipe, but will run relatively slow to bunch up the pack and promote passes and cluttered pitstops where things can go wrong for Lewis.

Isn't that about the right percentage for any weather prediction? I wish I was a network forecaster. Only job where you can be wrong 60% to 80% of the time and still be employed.

I'm a Hamilton fan and he'd have to be plumb stupid to do that after last year. He needs to let turn 1 play itself out. Even if he gets beat by Alonso to turn 1 (which is highly unlikely) he can keep 5th place in his sleep.
I think once Mclaren saw that Heikki wouldnt be competitive with the Ferrari's (hence no constructors), they put Lewis with more fuel so that as long as he gets past turn 1 and the first stint, with the Ferrari's who are DEFINITELY light, he'll have some open track to gain a position or two and then put it in cruise control.

No theirs are a lower percentage people usually get distracted.
