MASSA VS LEWIS
At Interlagos on Sunday 71 laps separate either Lewis Hamilton or Felipe Massa from becoming Formula 1 world champion for the first time.
It’s been a title race full of excitement, sudden twists of fate and the odd controversy along the way; so it’s fitting it all comes down to a final-race showdown in Brazil.
7 Points was the gap last season between Lewis and his rivals, it is again this season with his one and only competitor for the Championship.
This is also ITV's final, (for the foreseeable future), Grand Prix, here is their schedule for the key parts of the weekend online and on TV:

So it all comes down to this, will Lewis choke again? will Raikonnen & Alonso play dirty? Will Kovalainen turn up to help Lewis get what must surely be his?
This race will be intense for sure, I've got worries for Lewis and the first lap but feel Massa will win this and Lewis must finish 5th or higher or Massa will walk with the World Title too.
I think Alonso & Kimi will play a part in this depending on grid slots, Kovalainen must do his utmost to assist Lewis with traffic and protect him if someone feels racy behind him.
The poll is for who you think will win and who you want to win.
Lewis on both for me despite my doubts, if he s this up, *shakes head*.
Hoping Vettel finishes higher than Trulli to secure 8th in the World Standings and underline his unlimited potential.
Will be sad to see ITV go after this season, hopefully the Beeb will bring at least Brundle over next year. Sort of happy it's the last time Steve Ryder does F1 on ITV.
David Coulthard's last race too. Ferrari's last? ing cry-babies, they can walk for all I care, others will step up, can't wait to see what BMW can do next year and what Vettel can do in a Red Bull (senior) car.
Lewis V Massa
Go Lewis!
Also when the season is over, I will review and refer back to my predictions earlier this year.
