Silver! Goooooo Hamilton!
Massa has the hometown advantage, and he's quicker than anyone on the planet around Interlagos, but Hamilton will be nipping at his heels the whole race. I predict Massa will win the race with Hamilton finishing somewhere on the podium (assuming he doesn't get overzealous again...). Either way, the only chance Massa has to win pretty much is if Hamilton DNFs. As long as he can keep his car on the track, Hamilton will win.

Well, there you go. 100% for Lewis. Maybe I should just close the poll now . . . 
Nah. We have to let the tifosi have their say.
I have this scary feeling that for Lewis it is always win or finish out of the points in these situations. I hope he has learned his lesson and takes no unnecessary risks. It would be sweet though to have him win out, in Brazil, riding into the sunset.

I'll say this much, Massa has had a great year. I have always liked Massa. He has driven his guts out this year. It has been a zany season - both for good and for bad. But Massa has rolled with the punches and is in a position to do just what Kimi did last year - rip the heart out of us McLaren faithful!
If Lewis doesn't win, I can live with Massa as WDC - he will have earned it in my book.
Anyone who wears his own signature series Richard Mille Tourbillion wrist watch to post-race press conferences is a cool dude.
And hell, Ferrari looks to have another constructor championship in the bag as well. Not bad at all.

Unless Hamilton screws up epically, a la China last year, he'll win it. Massa gave it a good show...
I've been most disappointed in Kimi. I've been a fan since he first came on the scene, but he seemed so lackadaisical all year. Bummer.
