Brazilian GP 2011 - Interlagos

[raymondu999]

AFAIK the layout is still using the one they've used for the past few years

[LionKing]

Thundstorms, %40 chance of precipitation on Sunday.... Great news!

Come on in Seb, the water is fine!!



Gonna love this race if the rain falls for the whole last half of the race.

DRS zone will be on the Resta Oposta

Just to further raymond's post a bit:



Good choice from the FIA. There is no need for DRS along the start/finish straight. Also turn 4 should help overtaking with it's wide corner entry.

Also, Charlie Whiting has hinted at a few changes for next year:

“There are a couple of minor changes to the circuit but next year there could be something much bigger.

“We’re hoping to build a new pit entry and a larger run-off around the last corner, but this is a big job as it will require removing a couple of permanent grandstands. We’ve had assurances from the city of Sao Paulo that they’ll support this project.”

The only drama left is who gets 2nd 3rd and 4th. If Fred can overhaul Button for 2nd I'll have to get a new avatar, one taken from this race, perhaps something that keeps Brits out of that avatar altogether. The only problem with that is Vettel has to be on the podium. MHO is that Button and Lewis are fast in the wet, with LH wanting to push harder.
LH and FA have to be aggressive , plus if it's wet Ferrari will not have to use the primes
I really hope we have an entertaining last race
Ringo, which avatar will you fly if Felipe gets into Hamilton one last time?

Oh no,

Hamilton is perfectly safe in Brazil.

you are forgetting Massa's boss.

Just look on that face. He wants P2 baaad.

Massa has one last service:

Button DNF.... at all costs!!

So do't worry about Hamilton.

“Felipe; Button is making fun of you, and says you’re a pussy. Do you understand”???

So according to BBC and F1.com we will have a realtively warm FP practice and qualifying with no rain.

There is rain expected for the race though.

[JohnsonsEvilTwin]

for rain!

[raymondu999]

I'd much rather trust weather.com, but they're saying it'll be rain too so yeah. I'd love dry quali, wet rain

Just found this regarding the wheather :

"Rain, however, is not due to make an appearance until Saturday, with a 60% chance of showers in the afternoon. Those showers will drag into Sunday, again with a 60% chance. Temperatures on Saturday and Sunday will hit ambient highs of 27 and 23°C. Heavy cloud cover will keep track temperatures low."

rain does tend to be wet!

As a Ferrari fan, i'd prefer to see the rain stay away on Sunday - I wish we could have the weather that we had in last years race. However, I'd still be happily entertained by a wet race at Interlagos.

+1 for rain race.

PM me for FP1 stream. Got one working.
