85-71-69 at the weekend, the magic numbers. No, this is not my forecast for Saturday Lotto, but the level in the Formula 1 World Championship. The - how often this season - uncertain balance of power and possible rain expected to make the Grand Prix of Brazil an exciting affair.
Correction: Race starts at 18 clock start is our time, the quality by 19 clock today!
Jenson Button has 85 points, six points he gets, he is world champion, he gets four points, is definitely one of the Brawns. One says, "Sure, that he be okay ...", but in only three of the last eight races he has taken four or more points (where the "or more" applies only to second place at Monza). So why should it run better this weekend? He gets less than the target of four or six points, everything depends on the results of the competition.
Rubens Barrichello, 71 points may be, its nothing to lose-use-position. All the pressure is on the team-mates, he can even go full risk and just in front of an enthusiastic home crowd, he will do so with safety. On the high-speed lines and stop-and-go routes in Valencia and Monza he has won, but Sao Paulo is not necessarily in that category. He makes what he has done well at Spa, Singapore and Suzuka, namely to collect two or three dots, is the World Cup went for him.
Vettel is third with 69 points. Should he get his title shot upright, he is definitely in Abu Dhabi have a problem: the beard is scraping the pretty under the Balaclava. Because he wants to shave so again when he constructed a master can be more. But, joking aside, Vettel can and will fully take the win and I do not trust him too. Interlagos is a track that you have long been associated with more Red Bull. The training does not really give insight Webber has indeed taken a personal best, but Barrichello had both times forefront and as always you do not know who has just tried something. But Webber has already been tested at Suzuka this weekend for the front wing, and thus laid down the fastest lap of the race. If the thing that is in Sao Paulo works so well as in Suzuka, should be strongly suspected as Red Bull.
Decisive character but, above all, have, how strong the other teams. Hamilton can go forward with KERS pure? Raikönnen? Alonso? Rosberg? Trulli? And what does Mark Webber after he has won five races long no points? What about Sebastien Buemi, who has put down in the second session, the second fastest time? Set up here now too many assumptions based on the training results, probably makes no sense, so let's wait just off the best quality.
For Sunday, I could well imagine that we will have basically a similar race as the season finale 2008th So that leaves the middle button in the points positions and trying to secure the necessary points for the title, while Vettel drives off the front. To a winning performance in Sao Paulo I think Brawn, but Barrichello will be able to fight for a podium. The weather could be good in 2008-spec style also play a role again, because the probability of rain is high: 60% for Saturday, 80% for Sunday are the current predictions of weather.com . And because the track at Interlagos anyway usually run for good makes - the Senna-S after the interminably long lines is probably one of the best overtaking opportunities around the F1 season - we may well look forward to an exciting development of the title fight, and that too for the best TV guide (start clock is at 18 CET).
Please keep that in mind also the final race in Abu Dhabi. This is obviously a predestined for KERS track where you have to take into account in any case a possible winner Hamilton and a strong Raikönnen. And it is precisely these KERS cars could then help button for the World Cup by its competitors snatch away the necessary high scores. A portrait of the brand new Yas Circuit Iceland I will write next week.
The next rookie in the season 2009 is of course not remain unmentioned: Kamui Kobayashi Takes Timo Glock, who is still suffering from his injury from the accident Suzuka. During the training he put the Toyota in the courses 18 and 13 I'm curious to see how the reigning GP2 Asia champion this weekend.
News Shard
- As for Donington, I've now completely lost track. Once it is, the deadline is missed and a new there's not a day later, but then, once said Ecclestone, he saw no chance that something else is just so then Mr. Gillett then explains that of course everything works out. Or so. In any case, Gillett now wants to sell shares in his company, as shares in order to accumulate the necessary money. But this is difficult because the papers are to be very risky, according to financial experts ...
- The driver carousel continues to turn slowly, and with the same engine carousel. It probably looks as if Williams next year almost certainly Hulkenberg, Barrichello and competes Cosworth ('s time is thus confirmed by someone, then someone says something else, etc.)
- I think Kamui Koboyashi will continue next year as a regular driver for Toyota. Both drivers are there to talk and at least one of the two will probably be separate. One thing is also to officially yet.
- Lotus has released the first pictures of the new team of his car, and from the first models for such. Looks at the moment but is still not a lot, which all seems very simple and not very detailed. They probably just wanted time to show that you intend to develop and run really, to be back next year. The pictures are others here .
