Well, here it is, the last race of the 2013 season, and we head back to Brazil. The title may have already been decided, but there is still lots to be answered. As we say goodbye to the V8 engines, lets enjoy this race, on a classic track.

So:

*Can anybody beat Sebastian Vettel? The form man is going for his 9th consecutive win and a joint record of 13 wins in a season.
*Will Romain Grosjean finally score the win he has thoroughly deserved in these past few races?
*Will Mark Webber win his final race? He hasn't won since Silverstone 2012.
*Can Felipe Massa score his first win since his horrific accident in his last race for Ferrari at his home race?
*Will a deluge of rain cause enough carnage to give Marussia or Caterham their first points?
*Will Max Chilton see the checkered flag, breaking Tiago Montiero's record of 18 finishes in a season for a rookie driver?
*Will we finally see a wet race?
*Will this signal the end of the first season since 2006 that McLaren didn't win a race?
*Will this signal the end of the first season since 1980 that McLaren didn't score a podium?

I think even this circuit will struggle to give us a decent race.
 
Will this be the last year F1 will use the current pit lane and facilities, or are the planned upgrades taking place after the 2014 race?

I thought they would be building it now, to be used next year, or that was the original plan. It would be interesting to see what happens with the start in a different place. If they make the corner at the end of that straight a little bit tighter, it would be better.
 
Am I right in saying we've had one wet race all season?
 
Holy hell. No wonder this season was incredibly boring.
 
10th place is still up for grabs in the constructors between Marussia and Caterham, it went to the last race last season as well

Yep. 13th is the highest finish for them so far. Remember that it was a battle for 11th last year.
Rain is still the prediction for all 3 days, so it gives them the chance, plus once again gives Hulkenburg (who seems to be a wet Interlagos specialist) a chance to really shine.
 
Wasn't it wet for qualifying in Canada? Where Bottas qualified 3rd? Now the Williams is supposedly easier for him to handle with the exhaust layout and everything, perhaps he is one to watch if it is wet?

Please be a wet race PLEASE BE A WET RACE!

Last year, with the combination of the championship coming down to the wire and the rain being indecisive, keeping most drivers out on fairly shot tires, the race ended up being the best seasoner ended I've ever seen.

4 wet quali sessions so far in 2013 I think: Melbourne, Malaysia, Canada and Spa. I can't recall Bottas standing out in the other 3 so we'll see.
 
Well, Melbourne and Malaysia were his first two qualis in F1. Spa was a wet/dry session where no-one knew what to do.
 
Just watching FP1; Rodolfo González is absolutely useless! I know it's wet but still he's running wide at every single corner, and even nearly going off the track on multiple occasions. He's driven for Marussia in a number of FP1's, yet he's over three seconds slower than Bianchi in the same car! :rolleyes:
 
Ill be recording Webbers last race. Im sure the '13 Season will be on blu ray but, not the entire race.
 
Could this be the first season ever without a single wet race? I can recall wet qualis and wet practices but no races in 2013.

There were a few laps with Inters in Malaysia. There have been some all dry seasons, there were a few in the 1980's. Luckily, the forecast seems very wet for Sunday.
 
Right when I could have watch an awesome qualifying, my channel provider decide to have two same football match on the two seperate channel instead of showing formula 1 on one of those channel. It's not the first time it happening here and I doubt it'll ever change in the future. 👎
