Interlagos is a great circuit. The result may be very odd, depending on how the weather goes (wet could be good for Hulkenberg and Button, as well as the Red Bulls).

Winner: Lewis Hamilton
Second: Nico Rosberg
Third: Daniel Ricciardo
Fourth: Valtteri Bottas
Fifth: Sebastian Vettel
Sixth: Felipe Massa
Seventh: Fernando Alonso
Eighth: Jenson Button
Ninth: Nico Hulkenberg
Tenth: Romain Grosjean
Pole: Lewis Hamilton

:D Goodness! Thaddeus and I are in agreement this week about the Mercs! Maybe that means they'll take each other out on the first lap and suddenly we'll have a race :roll: :roll:

Alas. Probably not. :?

So Here are me picks and reasons

1. Hamilton again I watched him closely in Austin last weekend and he's just unbeatably in control and I can't see Nico stopping him. It will be fun to see just how Lewis responds to the championship.

2. Rosberg ... about a second & 1/2 back and unable to use the DRS zone

3. Massa ... this is pure sentiment on my part but it is his home race

4. Vettel he was remarkably fast in the closing laps at Austin... maybe he's found something?

5. Alonso I'd love to see a Ferrari podium, but there are just too many faster machines

6. Ricciardo will probably be higher up, maybe in Massa's slot and Massa in his?

7. Botas is good but Interlagos is mean to machines with twitchy rear ends

8. Button has won this race (in 2012) but he has to be mad at Ron D.

9. Magnussen will be trying his best I think but won't get his team mate

10. Vergne has been having a pretty good year... maybe he's finally settling down?

Pole: Lewis Hamilton of course.

I'm thinking they should call it quits after Brazil. We don't need another boring Abu Dhabi race and we certainly don't need one with double points. In fact, if they're doubling points and Bernie just bought his way out a trial with 100 million Euros, they ought to cut his salary in half for the last race and dispense it among the lower runners.

hope the race is fun
