Toro Rosso though is a great little outfit that has really come on strong and it has certainly caused its 'Big Brother' team some embarrassment. I wouldn't see that changing for the last race.

Toyota has in many ways been punching above their weight too - although we should expect them to be there with the resources they have got.

Jarno Trulli is always a good qualifier and Timo Glock has been putting in some great performances. I wouldn't expect them to be sitting around and they could be in and around the top six.

Another thing not to forget in Brazil is that Red Bull Racing is only three points in front of Williams in eighth in the constructors'. That is pretty tight and no doubt disappointing from Red Bull's point of view. They have some big people and some big names. Yet I don't think they have met their targets.

There will be a lot of pressure on to make sure they get through the season in front of a couple of other teams - and Williams is a threat.

Williams have come on a bit in the last few grand's prix. It seems to be they kick off quick and falter in the mid-season. But they have come back a little bit towards the end and it was good to see Nico Rosberg on the podium in Singapore.

They are a smaller team though in this day and age. We may not think of them like that all the time because of what the team has achieved over the years. But that is the case now and it is undeniable.

Finally I turn to Honda and Force India, who will no doubt prop up the grid again on Sunday.

For Ross Brawn and Jenson Button, 2008 has been awful and they will be only too pleased to see the end of it and then the beginning of 2009. But the worry must be now when they turn up for the first race in 2009, what do they have to work with?

What is certain is that it needs to be very different to what they have had to work with this season. The might of Honda and the resources available to them means a lot of questions will be asked in '09 if not and I hope, for their sake, they have the answers and show that straight away on track.

As for Force India the squads first season has been okay. The team's place is at the back of the grid, but saying that they have had a couple of inspirational performances. They were in line to collect a handful of points in Monaco, although unfortunately we all recall how that turned out.
