Actually, I think that if anything is going to wreak havoc with the race, it will be pitstops. Not so much Ferrari making an absolute tit of it a la Singapore and Valencia, but moreso the fact that Interlagos has the longest pit lane of any of the races. That's always good for re-shuffling the order a little bit.
I think psychologically, Ferrari have the advantage here. They came from behind last year, and they're in a position to do it again in 2008. It's slightly offset by the fact that this time, it's Massa rather than Raikkonen, but they do have a bit of an edge here. They know it can be done.
Alos, I'm curious ... when was the last time the championship was won by two drivers for the same team like Raikkonen last year and possibly Massa this time? Has it ever happened? And when did we last have two consecutive down-to-the-wire championships each won by the man in second place?
Yeah, I wouldn't have any problems with him returning next year, though he was the one who started the whole "Alonso brake-tested Hamilton" thing back at Bahrain within moments of the incident happening ... so I can't say as if I'm too broken up to see him go. But he is a former racing driver, and so know the sport, which is a big plus over Allen. The problem is that when Allen gets worked up - which is generally every time there's a silver car in frame,even if it's Kovalainen - Brundle can't seem to be able to get a word in edgeways.
