The 2008 Brazilian GP preview
So this is it, the showdown is upon us. McLaren's Lewis Hamilton heads into the Interlagos finale seven-points ahead of Ferrari's Felipe Massa. All the Briton has to do is finish fifth or higher, the Brazilian, essentially, has to win. Autosport.com gears up for the biggest race of the year
So, it has come down to this. After 17 races, Lewis Hamilton and Felipe Massa will touch down in Brazil as the only two drivers still capable of winning the world championship.
Hamilton has a seven-point advantage courtesy of his emphatic win in China two weeks ago, but you only have to cast your mind back to what happened at Interlagos last year to appreciate that a points lead at the start of the weekend doesn't come with any guarantees.
