Blundell's view: Brazilian Grand Prix.

Tuesday, 16th October 2007

Mark Blundell previews the action ahead of the season finale in Brazil - and is looking forward to the event and hopefully seeing Lewis Hamilton bring the title home for Britain.

Hi folks...

There is just one left race now and I am really looking forward this weekend's Brazilian Grand Prix.

It has been a fantastic season and to go to the last event with everything going down to the wire is awesome.

We have got three contenders - one sits in a Ferrari and two are in McLarens.

It is very good news for everybody involved in Formula 1 to see it end like this, especially after all the politics this season – and lets be honest, there has been far, far too many off-track shenanigans this year.

I have mentioned before that Interlagos will probably suit McLaren a little bit more than Ferrari and I would stick by that. The MP4-22 should cope with the bumps slightly better than the F2007, as it does seem to be a very compliant car.

Having said that though, the Scuderia were very competitive in Brazil last year, so I guess we will have to wait and see to see how things really shape up. Whatever the case, I think it should be very close between those two teams, as it has been all year.

Brazil is a nice place to go for the finale - it is quite a good environment and everybody certainly loves Formula 1 there. Interlagos always has a great atmosphere and the crowd is always very passionate and enthusiastic.

Obviously Felipe Massa will be looking for a home win again and everybody will be supporting him along with his fellow countrymen.

The prime focus though won't be on Felipe, it will be on his team-mate, Kimi Raikkonen and McLaren pair Fernando Alonso and Lewis Hamilton - and one of them will be crowned world champion on Sunday.

Lewis could have had it wrapped up by now if it wasn't for that costly error in China. That shouldn't affect him this weekend though.

He has had plenty of time to sit and think about it and decide where he did go wrong and where he could have made some improvements. There will have been several discussions between him and the team on how they should have run the race in a different way.
