Brazilian Grand Prix, who do you think is gonna win the championship and the race? Options

[Valo666]

Who do you guys think is gonna win the Brazilian Grandprix?? Im going for Hamilton. Hes had such a good season this year and i think out of every one else, hes gonna be taking the race and the championship.

[Drocay]

yea Hamilton is who i got my money on, as long as they dont make mistakes like last week he shouldnt have pushed tires that hard.

[playr158]

holy **** he's posting^^^^

yes Hamilton i have for winning
but running wet tires 2 times in practice the race is going to hurt him possibly points wise =/

[yarik83]

as we know F1 is full of surprises. ie Shumi last year with engine blowing up, kimi with constant suspension breaks when he was in mclaren, alonso making mistakes when he panics, hamilton driving into yet another pit, weather being all funky, fia punishing mclaren for something else, someone going bananas and taking out someone else in a 3 car pile up.. usually involving red bull and ohh shumi jr.

I know statistically hamilton already won providing he finishes anywhere in required minimum point range. Alonso can only win if he leaves both kimi and hamilton waaay behind in points ie if both of them are not even in top 3. Kimi can only win if both mclaren cars do not finish race to get first place in championship. As always lady fate and mr weather are perfect equalizers here.

I do have several scenarios in my mind.

#1 shumacher taking out alonso and coulthard taking out hamilton for reasons being prone to getting into accidents.

#2 Kovalainen trying to overtake fiscicella or backwards and taking out alonso when he comes out from his first pit stop.

#3 Alonso being a pain and taking out both mclarens upon start of race at very first corner. If they survive then both will end up having to race their way from back of pack when they recover.

#4 Weather is sooo bad that even hopeless takuma sato ends up scoring his first career point and probably only one of his career having heidfield in 2nd and weber/kubica in first

#5 which is most likely. kimi first alonso 2nd hamilton 3rd.
01 Lewis Hamilton 107 +6=123
02 Fernando Alonso 103 +8=121
03 Kimi Räikkönen 100 +10=120

1st place: 10 points
2nd place: 8 points
3rd place: 6 points

I believe Alonso will be the winner because he is good driver and lucky also.

It most likely that Rubinho (Hamilton) will take first but i'm hoping Kimi will pull it off and both Mclarens lose position by other drivers.

[HorseHead]

I'll go with Hamilton too, I hope it's gonna be him!

Do you know any site to watch live F1???? Because in the place i am the cable tv is out....

[yarik83]

speed tv has a service. i think its a few bucks per game but u can watch cameras on individual players. thats about it. also bit torent communities are your best bet. there is this amasing guy on isohunt that uploads english commantary races and those are about 900 times better because of how important sport is there so they host more informative interviews, talk about things speed tv may not talk about etc.

Also.

Qualifying times should never be counted because they are done with intent of declaring fuel loads while getting to top of grid.
A low time could mean low fuel levels and or a possibility of super fast car that weekend running full and on that account amount of pit stops is reduced possibly saving time or possibly while heavy being stuck behind traffic. So tipycally you see front runners kinda not as full as others to pull away get some lead then refuel

[dtlwrc]

After a really unbelievable race Kimi Räikkönen with the Ferrari is the champion for 2007!!!

[yarik83]

and the most improbable scenario has unfolded.

Grats kimi grats iceman grats finnish blone blue eyed beast.

Great support from massa on last race. 2008 is going to be a funky year lets hope kimi will do just as well

[manolis]

The winner is Raiko...i am with renault but this race was very good...i believe in 2008 renault will come back with Alonso....

[yarik83]

I will be very surprised if mclaren permits alonso to race in 08, likewise i doubt that alonse will race for renault because he did not exactly leave it on good terms. While being a good driver his reputation and scandalouscque attitude preceeds him. It is very possible he will be drafted into toyota with ralph gone. Wertz is gone too and I have not really followed up that story but there is another possibility for alonso. As for other racers... I think there might be some movement. I would not be surprised if bariccello moves among others but well see we have a few short months of wait and we will know the result.
