We're definitely interested. Are you going to do the bonus points for predicting the championship winner?


why not,you can put who you think will win for the end i guess aslong as you do it before the first practice session of the season

bring on 2013, hopefully McLaren get their reliability issues sorted out for next year, be great to see a lot more wins for Jenson, he was great in Brazil, 3 wins this season even with a turbulent period in it!

hoping Mercedes give Lewis a decent car as well so he can get a win or two or at least some podiums, Di Resta has been underwhelming since his 4th place so not sure I have much expectations for him tbh.

be great if Chilton gets the chance at Marussia, I think he has a lot of talent (came 4th in this years GP2 and was very consistently good in qualifying in particular), be great if they and Caterham can compete for points next year as well.

I just pray it's not another Red Bull/Vettel domination season, if it is I can see myself giving up on watching races live before the season is out like I did in the Schumacher days (other than 2003 anyway)



Long wait till March now, will keep a eye on this thread for any F1 news you guys might come across, see you all next year.



Just hoping Kobayashi get's a seat really, maybe with Force India but that could go to Jules Bianchi.

The race is really really exciting.

Interlagos is the best race in the Formula 1... so unpredictable, so cool, so exciting... I love it.

Being the last race of the season can make any other race great, with the exception of Monaco(Thank god nobody had this idea)

As much as I like Interlagos, I have to say it's not the best race.  SPA would be a lot better for a season ending in my opinion.

Interlagos is for the most part an old circuit that needs some drastic changes.  I strongly support the idea of building a new circuit that was presented a few years ago.

Why? Great races, good overtaking opportynity on the long outer line, tricky inner low speed corners, doesn't seam to be dangerous. Good track IMO.

Most of Interlagos problems are not related to the circuit itself, but with the infraestructure around and to solve those problems more space would be needed.

Unlike most other F1 circuits, Interlagos is not located in a distant part of the city, it's inside a city of 11M people in a very prosperous district ,full of buildings and more on the way.

 And there is an airport nearby, so the needed space for improvements doesn't exist.

not sure it tops 2003 for me, that race was just insane, Fischicella winning in the Jordan in torrential rain!

up there with the USA for race of this season though for sure, helped by the fact some of the races were tyre lotterys in the early season and some of the later ones were just processions barring retirements, it's not been the best season to watch race wise for the most part imho, probably edges 2010 though and easily better than 2011 which was dreadful to watch for most of the season.

2013 they need to try and have all the races like the last couple, would make it really exciting and close between the top teams, though I fear Red Bull will just find some new FIA regulation to bend to dominate again...

Well, if they can have races in citys and those are good enough, Interlagos' problems can be solved even without more land to use.

I like the fact that it is inside a city, yet a dedicated racing circuit. If they can keep the it echonomically viable they should keep it. This circuit always excites the F1 fans. It would be a shame to replace it with another boring modern track. There are enough of those already.

The circuit is still very viable financially and some people here see it as something sacred.

Interlagos will be here for a while, it's just that government think maintenance costs would justify a new circuit.



There is apparently some issue with Vettel making an illegal move under yellow flag. If people decide to investigate it he could be docked 20 seconds putting him 1 point below Alonso, so he would be champion.

On a logically stand point, if a claim is made, they need to investigate it. If he is at fault, he should be docked seconds, just like they would any other time in the season.

On a personal stand point, I wanted Alonso to win overall because of his consistancy in a worse car then Red Bull and McLaren. He did some amazing drives to get on as many podiums as possible to get himself in that position.



Hmm, pie.
