Although Felipe Massa consummately won last year's Brazilian Grand Prix, the suspicion, going into this year's race, was that Interlagos should slightly favour McLaren over Ferrari. The bumps, you see. All season long, the MP4-22 has handled them - and high kerbs, as at Montreal and Monza - like nothing else, and Interlagos has never been renowned for its even surface. Until this year. In time-honoured fashion they were still slapping a bit of paint on the ancient grandstands through the practice days, but the track itself had had a makeover, and the resurfacing took away a lot of the bumps. That gave Ferrari folk a reason to smile, and they were further cheered when forecasts of mixed weather for the weekend proved wide of the mark: after a damp first practice session, it was hot - very hot - all the way through. If Bridgestone had perhaps miscalculated, in bringing only soft and super-soft rubber to Brazil, it would hurt Ferrari less than most: the F2007 has always been kind to its tyres. © 2021 Autosport
