2009 Brazilian Grand Prix (Oct 16 - 18)
Button may be able to clinch the title here if Barrichello can not close the gap from 14 down to 9 points and if Vettel can't continue clawing back points (he is a further 2 points adrift). One point from either Button or Barrichello is enough to clinch the constructor's cup for Brawn.
After complaining about a backache, Timo Glock was found to have one of his vertebrae damaged in the head-on shunt at Suzuka. He will be replaced by Kamui Kobayashi, who also substituted for the German in the Friday practice sessions at Suzuka. The anti-clockwise Sao Paolo track is always a challenge for the drivers. The rough surface and ever changing weather adds to the difficulty of the race. The outcome is not rarely surprising. The schedule is in local time: FRI Practice 1 10:00 FRI Practice 2 14:00 SAT Practice 11:00 SAT Qualifying 14:00 SUN Race 14:00

It's Button to lose. He just needs a solid eventless race and a 5th place to have his name on it. I don't expect a repeat of Vettel's domination given his engine woes and concerns. Barrichello might be one to try something crazy, like a three stop, and end up being incredibly lucky with a possible SC, or unlucky by getting it all wrong.
I hope KERS comes in handy and gives Hamilton the win.

It has to be frustrating for Fisichella that the time he is so close to Raikkonen, he is still last...
