F1 Podium Picker Challenge - Brazilian Grand Prix

[Larry Andrews]

Okay Podium Pickers, are you ready for the final installment of the 2012 Formula One Podium Picker Challenge Presented by EKartingNews and Guarana Antarctica soda. The fantastic Interlagos Circuit never fails to put on a great race and the final showdown to determine the Drivers Championship couldn't happen at a more amazing track. I'm sure nobody has forgotten the 2008 final...but just in case:

There's three people in the running for our championship at this point, but TJ definitely has a big advantage and it will require a perfect podium to unseat him. Lots of midfield challenges too...

New picks in by 8am PST Saturday please. Good luck everybody!

And a quote: 'Where I went off you can get back on the track by going through the support race pit lane, but you have to go through a gate. I know this as I did the same thing in 2001 and the gate was open that year. Somebody closed it this time. Next year I’ll make sure it’s open again' Um...

Even more!

Edit 2: Final Points! Congratulations again to TJ Koyen for winning the season and also to Francois Brun-Wibaux for getting the most points this week after an absolutely amazing race.

Just curious, if Alonso wins in Brazil and Vettel is 4th, both will have the same number of points and the same number of wins, do they then decide Championship by number of second places?

(My guess, Alonso will fight hard, with the limitations of his twitchy Ferrari Chassis (its been twitchy and seemingly unpredictable all season), but Hami and Mclaren will be dialed just as in the USGP, Vettel will get a great start, gain hard, then hamilton will start to catch up as they get more dialed throughout the race.)

[Tim Doll]

Since I'm pretty much out of the running, I'm going to throw out a flyer for Brazil. Massa has been coming on strong as of late - and while he will be forced to allow Alonso in front - that only comes into play if Alonso is in a position to pass. So, my prediction is Massa wins his home GP (again).

1) Massa
2) Vettel
3) Alonso
