Hamilton starts second in Brazil.

Massa on Pole, Raikkonen third, Alonso fourth.

What's the betting Massa takes out Hamilton at the first turn "accidently", leaving his team-mate Raikkonen to duke it out with Alonso for the title?

That would make for an 'interesting' race.....

Another Shumacher/Hill situation isn't out of the question!

Surely Massa could take out both Hamilton and Alonso with the right bit of driving. Watch for Raikkonen to start frrom the safety of pit lane?

Too obvious even for F1, perhaps.

Ferrari wouldn't risk having constructors points docked given that they have the whole thing in the bag. I do think if Massa squeezes into the first turn first then he will deliberately slow things up.

Hamiltons a bit too short at 1.46 with the bookies for me.

So, do we reckon the pitch will take spin?

Where does Hayden start?

Hamilton in 11th. 52 seconds behind the leader, Massa.

So unfortunate with those engine problems, he's kept cool despite this and working his way up the field...it's not going to happen though.

Thought they were gear change problems?

Yeah, not going to happen. Hope he still wins Sports personality of the year. Got a bet with someone that he will.

All I know is that they were 'car problems'....lol.

Would be amazing if he got up to 5th, still got to pit again yet.

Needs 5th if Raikkonen wins. Needs 6th if Raik second.

Currently 8th with 20 laps to go.

Well done Kimi, he deserved it.

Another crap sport, another English loser. Well Done Lose Hamilton, you loser. Good riddance for another few months.

Maybe if they gave every driver the same car there'd be such thing as a contest. It's like machines driving drivers.

Yeah, he must be the worst rookie ever!

It was a Spanish conspiracy!

Dear oh dear oh dear oh dear.....

Still, a great rookie year.

Just a bit of leg pulling cj.
But I do agree that Hamilton did exceptionally well in a great car.
It just remains to be seen if he can keep it up should Mclaren fall behind Ferrari on next years car/engine designs ...

At least Alonso didn't win...

Aye.
Who's gonna have the whinging Spaniard once Dennis dumps him?

Maybe Spyker will have Alonso...

Which car is considered to be the best overall, McLaren or Ferrari?

I lost interest in F1 when Schumacher was winning everything, got back into it this year with Hamilton doing well.

At the start of the season a significant difference as Mclaren powered away - but, Ferrari tweaked both car and engine mid season to bring them to within a Rizzla paper's width for the final run-in ...
Thereafter consistency and a lack of in-fighting ( Mclaren's disqualification and their driver's hissy-fits) served to focus them and ultimately take both championships.
Overall - Mclaren.

So overall McLaren....good for the sport that it's so close.

When does next season begin?
