Lewis Hamilton Preps for his final start for McLaren

Brazilian GP - The Final Showdown of the season

Lewis Hamilton topped the first time sheet in free practice for the Brazilian Grand Prix, the final round of the Formula 1 World Championship. Behind the Englishman, who did a 1.14.131 in his McLaren, came the two Red Bulls of Sebastian Vettel (1.14.140) and Mark Webber (1.14.198.)

Fernando completed 28 laps on his way to fifth fastest in 1.14.392, while Felipe Massa did one lap more, finishing sixth in 1.14.716. Both Ferrari men ran the Hard compound, which is being used here alongside the Medium, while for today only Pirelli also made two sets of experimental tires available to all driver.

Lewis is looking like a monster this weekend. It would be nice if he could win his final race for Macca.

 

SV for the win this weekend...

 

Hi,

Like you need to guess who I'm pulling for.

COME ON WEBBER!

Cheers,
Nik

 

SV for the world title!

 

come onnnnn sebastian vettel!!!

 

McLaren has the front row locked up. Nice quali rounds from my man Button!

 

loldonado got a 10-place grid penalty for running a red light in the pits (weigh-ins), what an idiot (thankfully) so that bumps Alonso right next to Massa on the clean side of the track and right behind Vettel. I expect some 1st lap genius from Alo & the changeable conditions of Interlagos will bring the best (or worst) out of each driver's talent.

It is definitely Vettel's race to lose...he only needs to finish 4th to bag the wdc. I have a running wager on fchat for Alo winning it and I still believe!!!!!!

 

Can't wait for this one its gonna be an awesome race!
