Comments on: Brazilian GP: warming up http://sundayafternoonclub.blogs.topgear.com/2008/10/30/brazilian-gp-warming-up/ The greatest writers on the world of cars from the BBC's Top Gear Sun, 22 Nov 2009 00:24:34 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: af http://sundayafternoonclub.blogs.topgear.com/2008/10/30/brazilian-gp-warming-up/#comment-5633 af Fri, 31 Oct 2008 10:08:25 +0000 http://bbctopgear.wordpress.com/?p=864#comment-5633 Really looking forward to this biggie!! I think Hamilton is gonna make it this year. All the odds are on his side (but so were they last year, but how often do such things happen?!). Massa needs to do what Kimi did last year to win the championship. Isn't gonna be easy, but not impossible. I'ld love to see Massa win in Brazil and the crowd going absolutely bonkers!! But I doubt he'll win and I don't think i'ld mind it too much. Or maybe i'm just preparing myself for the Hamilton win!! Oh and TG right after that, I'm gonna love this sunday!!! :D Really looking forward to this biggie!!

The return of Top Gear and this race. Whatever the outcome, I'm pretty sure this race would simply be one of the most exciting races ever. As for suggestions for a season ender: how about a night race (doesn't have to be Singapore, even though we're the only country doing that now)? At least you can have fireworks after the event. LOL.

It changes from location to location aswell... “Also, instead of having souless venues like Valencia, the european grand prix should go somewhere new every year”

It was just an example though: other countries could get one, like Finland. Kimi, heikki, and mika h show that they can produce f1 drivers as well as rally drivers like gronholm. Good point, Olga.

Anyway, I hope we all have some fun on Sunday. I cant wait! Catersam

I completely agree. I wasn't so sure about the Valencia venue this year and they've got it again next year - it just doesn't seem right. Also, I don't like them using the same track for the European Grand Prix for two years on the trot. It's not as interesting when they do that. Different track every year please! Brazil will be good though. I'm looking forward to it. THREE DAYS!! Can't wait. It's been a painful 2 weeks, but I suppose it'll be worth it - it's going to be a close one! :) catersam: good point!

They should have the last few races at thoroughly F1 contries, like Brazil, Belgium, and Italy. Then the last few races would be so tense. That would be truly awesome. Also, instead of having souless venues like Valencia, the european grand prix should go somewhere new every year, to invigorate some F1 passion in those countries. For example, a polish grand prix could be worth trying to see if Robert Kubica has enough support to get a permanant race there. Why are they ending it next year at Abou Diaby?

(I'm brazilian of course....) Abu Dhabi doesn't have the same passionate crowd, I don't think that ANY of the countries involved on Grand Prix Racing today have the same passionate crowd!!! We were used to wake up on EVERY sunday to watch Ayrton Senna race, even those who weren't so much into motorsport, and he carried the flag, and we got used to it!! Even outside the Grand Prix subject, even our concerts are one of the best in the world because of the crowd, I went to several outside Brazil, but in here, there's another atmosphere!! I'm really sad that next year, Brazil wont be the "closing race".... I don’t think that anywhere in the world could have the same atmosphere that here in Brazil!!! (I’m brazilian of course….)

Last year, the attending fans had a three way battle and public rivalry to watch and this year it will be mental, with felipe there challenging. Imagine how deafening it would be if Felipe won and stole in at the death to win the title? Dubai will have alot to live up to but there should be a fantastic atmosphere there aswell. Part of the reason for the atmosphere at Interlagos is the fact that they are very passionate and Dubai have never had a Senna or indeed a racing driver so obviously the atmosphere will be different. obviously, only brazil has the special feeling because it’s the season closer.
