Brilliant post again well done
That dreaded "r" word again - rain lol. I love a slightly wet race, but when its a deluge, it really isnt fun to watch at all imo (hopefully , as last year, they stay away)
Really hoping for a convincing win for Jenson, but as long as he outscores both Red Bulls and Rubens, I dont really mind what happens.
Hope the upgrades give Brawn a boost for this race just to avoid KERS cars really.

lol @ the weather forecast. This is going to be a hectic weekend. I really hope we don't get loads of laps under the safety car just because of the rain (I don't mind if it's because of a crash - that's fair enough)

Yay, Dijon '79 is on the Classics list - get to watch Gilles at his absolute best 
Austria '82 and Mexico '90 were also great races - Mansell pulling off one of the most audacious and spectacular overtaking moves in the history of the sport at Mexico, and that finish in Austria.

lol!
Although I am a massive Button Fan, part of me is finding it hard not to want Rubens to do well! It would be great for him to win, in what could be his last competative season
So, I suppose the best result for me would be a Rubens win, and Button 2nd or 3rd. Just to narrow that points difference by a few each race, to make sure that a last race straight shoot out between the two is a prospect

I'm just hoping Rubens wins the race at Brazil
Imagine what would happen if Grojean caused a safety car and Alonso made any gain. haha.

Hoping for a Barrichello win
However if it rains as expected, then it is any ones race.

I'll be watching this on the website again. 
Hope it's a good 'un.

If if this was NASCAR they'd do the sensible thing and postpone the race until Monday if conditions make running the race a Bad Idea™. This being Formula One, they'll run the race until half the field is wiped out then throw the red flag and award half points.

Canon advert on the Brawn is quite big. Don't remember seeing them since back in the Williams-Renault days.

Will it actually rain though? Last year was the same, loads of predicted rain, and none actually turned up?
A light sprinkle at some point to liven things up wont hurt though

Good to see they have sorted the pit exit.
I hope they have removed the curb on the outside of the left/right/left bit that would so much better as either a sweeping left, or a double apex left hander...

Not sounding good for visibility all in all.
Rain, foglights and smoke!

They have not..

They've got a suspended ban (i.e. no ban at all), not been suspended.
A question has just popped up in my head - had Renault been banned, how would their status as an engine supplier have worked out?
