Preliminary weather report for Brazil

According to the weather.com 10-day forecast, the uber-preliminary forecast for the weekend is for scattered thunderstorms and a 60% chance of rain all three days - Friday, Saturday and Sunday! Now, as a Hamilton fan obviously this isn't bad news, but at the same time rain always increases the "anything can happen" factor. And with Lewis holding a 7-point lead heading into the weekend, I don't want "anything" to happen. But of course even if some horrible fate were to befall Lewis and leave him scoreless, Massa would still have to score 8 points for the championship, and I wouldn't bank on that happening in an all-wet weekend.

Should Lewis go off and Massa were, say, in third spot behind Kimi and Alonso, this would give Alonso an opportunity to come good on his claim and make Massa champion by letting him through :) OK, I feel this is the moment I have to point out that I am in fact joking, before Lewis fans pop a vein from anger...

Having said that, I would very much like for the title battle to continue in Brazil, and I feel that an unpredictable race in the rain would provide the right ingredients for that. In the name of entertainment, let it rain!

Um ... why is your header a picture of a McLaren following a Ferrari?? Wait till Sunday - Lewis will be ahead of your beloved Ferraris. Heikki will be #2 and Ferrari will score 0 and hand the constructors to McLaren

I wish.

Ha ha, Sohan came up with a rotating header, but apparently fate intervened and the header got stuck... Ooops :)

What would be interesting to me is to see if Kimi was leading and Heikki was second with Lewis out of the race - how would Kimi drop himself down to 3rd? I'm sure he would somehow.

Or if Massa is leading, Lewis is 6th and Heikki is somewhere in between, how would he drop himself all the way down to 6th to get Lewis the title? Could be interesting...
