From Eyes_Wide_Shut on 606:](http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/606/A58433772s_fromedit=1&s_type=15&s_sport=motorsport)"The Red Bulls will be quick as will the McLaren, which will probably be the quickest car at Interlagos being good in the tighter stuff, KERS advantage and the best engine for the long drag up the hill. I think Barrichello may mix it up with them though which Button will not and so and five point gap isn’t unrealistic."1418: Still only two times on the board, and it has now started raining. “They’ve left it too late in my opinion,” Anthony Davidson says of the other drivers.1414: If you’re wondering what Lee is referring to at the end of her missive, Felipe Babytold Brazilian journalists that future Ferrari team-mate must have known about the Renault crash plot at the Singapore Grand Prix.He has also claimed thatRenault robbed him of the drivers’ title last year.BBC Sport’s Lee McKenzie in Sao Paulo: "Great to be back here at Interlagos. Last year, it was the best sporting event I have ever been to - but could the drama of Lewis Hamilton’s last-gasp clinching of the world title be superceded this weekend This afternoon I am interviewing Felipe Massa, and I am really looking forward to it. I only have a few minutes with him but I am intrigued to see if he is just the same smiley, happy guy that we all enjoyed interviewing earlier on in the year. He has been quite outspoken recently so will ask him about that too."1412: Jaime Alguersuari provides us with the first time of the day, a pedestrian 1:20.385, which is quickly beaten by the other Toro Rosso of Sebastien Buemi.BBC Sport pit-lane reporter Ted Kravitz: "McLaren are testing a new barge board. They’re using invisible paint to test how it affects the aerodynamics, which only shows up under UV light."1408: Dry for the first 20 minutes, according to BBC Sport’s Holly Samos, so those drivers will be desperate to get on the track for some dry laps. 1404: I think this might turn into Felipe Massa-watch… He’s now in the Ferrari garage, and gives his stand-in Giancarlo Fisichella a little hug as he strolls in.From RayInTorontoCan on 606:](http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/606/A58433772s_fromedit=1&s_type=15&s_sport=motorsport)"The in-form cars are Red Bull, Toyota and the KERS duo of McLaren then Ferrari. I don’t see Rubens taking five more points from Button at Interlagos… unless there is a monsoon during a field spread situation as the cars pass pit entry."1400: Green light is on at Interlagos.1357: Well, there’s a nice sight to kick off the weekend. Felipe Massa is in the paddock, and gives the camera a smile and thumbs up. Apparently, he’s had some plastic surgery - and his breasts do look impressive. No, no, it was on his eye. Just on his eye.BBC Sport’s Sarah Holt in Sao Paulo: "Bom dia Formula 1 fans. So we have arrived at Interlagos, home of the Brazilian Grand Prix; the race which has decided just who will be crowned champion for the last four seasons. The scene is set at the high-altitude circuit for yet another showdown between contenders Jenson Button, his Brawn team-mate Rubens Barrichello and Red Bull’s Sebastian Vettel. But so far all three drivers are taking a leaf out of the Brazilian book and are showing no signs of pressure. Day one and local boy Barrichello was wandering around the paddock with a trademark grin on his face as he showed his sister and nephew around while Button spent the evening dining with the British media. Vettel sporting a fuzzy beard - more on that later - was cracking jokes before taking things a little more seriously by embarking on his regular track walk to take a closer look at the challenges ahead. It’s going to be a fascinating weekend."From jcolls on Twitter:](http://twitter.com/#searchq=carolinecheese)"I’m hoping that Rubens wins on his home ground with Vettel second keeping the title race alive. Button to win in the end!"1351: Don’t worry, I will repeat this ad nauseum (or until I actually understand it) but here’s what Button has to do this weekend:
- finish third or better
- OR finish fourth if Barrichello doesn’t win
- OR hope Vettel finishes lower than second and Barrichello finishes lower than fourth
- OR lose no more than four points to BarrichelloFrom BBC Sport’s Sarah Holt on Twitter:](http://twitter.com/sarahholtf1)"6am sunshine has been smothered by grey clouds and it’s overcast at Interlagos. Rain is predicted - only thing is no-one knows when it’ll fall."1347: Seems like JB’s already made his choice. "I don’t want to just finish in the points - but there are situations I don’t want to get myself into,"he said yesterday.
From silverstone79 on 606:](http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/606/A58433772s_fromedit=1&s_type=15&s_sport=motorsport)“If Jenson has a quiet weekend and does just enough to win it, people will say he is not being worthy of the champion. If Jenson goes for it and chucks it in the wall, people will say he was taking too much of a risk to win the championship. Tough choice either way. Good luck whichever route you choose.”
1337: Interlagos has already witnessed one miracle this weekend as Kimi Raikkonen cracked a smile for the first time since 1992. But can Rubens Barrichello keep this title race alive with victory at his home Grand Prix Or could Sebastian Vettel pull off the almost-impossible I don’t know. I’m just babbling. Why don’t you tell me what will happen on 81111, on606](http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/606/A58433772s_fromedit=1&s_type=15&s_sport=motorsport)or onTwitter.](http://twitter.com/carolinecheese)1330: Olá! So, there’s just one big question in Sao Paulo: can Jenson Button do it Can he really throw this world championship awayThis article is from the BBC News website. © British Broadcasting Corporation, The BBC is not responsible for the content of external internet sites.
