Olá amigos. É hora para o Grande Prêmio do Brasil!!
Rosberg outpaced Hamilton at the last race in Mexico, and at this race in 2014, but can he continue that form?
Will the weather play a part as it often does here at this time of the year?
Qualifying - 4pm GMT, 14th Nov.

Lewis lets his heart rule his head more than most drivers, as we have seen many times before.
In Mexico he was obviously unwinding after winning the WDC and after a week of partying, so he didn't even try to use his racer's "edge".
Brazil is two weeks later and the result could go either way.
If he is fired up, wants to rub Rosberg's nose in it and wants to increase his lifetime statistics then he will just go out and do it.
If he is still in Mexico mode expect pretty much the same results as there.
The only thing between Vettel and third place is Kimi. But it increasingly looking like he has passed his sell by date. If we go to three car teams next year Kimi will likely be beaten by both his team mates.
Ricciardo and Verstappen are the form drivers and will entertain us, if they finish it will be with more points than the car deserves.
The Williams/Torro Rosso/Lotus/Force India packages are now fairly closely matched and will give us some close racing in the pack.

Ricciardo will have the new upgraded Renault engine in his Red Bull, so it will be fascinating to see how that goes. They won't make the decision whether to use it in Kvyat's car until Saturday. At least on Friday we will get to see both specs performing side by side.
How much do I hope the new spec engine is on par with the Mercedes/Ferrari units and Renault tell Red Bull they won't supply them next year

I want to see Kimi bounce back strong here. It has been a woeful year full of errors and misfortune (compared to Vettel anyway) he needs to finish it well to retain some dignity and pride. I also hope Rosberg can keep up a strong challenge to Hamilton - again it has been a bad year for Nico and he also needs to finish it well to have any hope of launching a serious challenge next year.
I think Vettel will go well, he normally bounces back from mistakes quite well.
I like the track - good fans and usually a couple of half decent over taking opportunities.
