[F1] Brazilian Grand Prix : Webber wins, Button '09 champion

• Kuali Baba

  17 Oct 09, 01:11

  Circuit: Autodromo Carlos Pace, Interlagos, Sau Paolo
  Laps: 71
  Race start: 0100 HRS SIN (Monday morning)

  Rain is expected to fall on all days of the race weekend. Rivulets of running water and puddles can result, as we saw in the race last year. What's different is that the bumpy but flowing Interlagos track is not the season finale this year.

  Rubens Barrichello and Sebastian Vettel, 14 and 16 points adrift of championship leader Jenson Button, have nothing to lose. The latter needs his rivals to finish no higher than 5th in the race in order to secure the title with one race remaining.
