Massa fastest ahead of Raikkonen, Hamilton and Alonso!

Still another flyer remaining. They haven't pitted yet so there will be just the one flyer!

Hamilton will most likely get an extra lap. It will be close for Alonso!

No it doesn't look like either will get the extra lap!

Under a minute and Hamilton starts his flyer!

This is it!

Hamilton needs to stay ahead of Alonso and Raikkonen and he will clinch the title. In qualifying he has done that. Can he do it tomorrow ?

Should be an exciting race tomorrow with thunderstorms very likley according to the predictions

Alonso made a pass on Massa on the first lap but Massa took the position back.

Now Alonso is attacking Massa again
