The 2005 Brazilian Grand Prix Preview
The Brazilian Grand Prix could prove historic for Formula One if Fernando Alonso clinches the title and becomes the youngest World Champion in history. Although McLaren will try their best to secure another win, the crown is almost in their rival's pocket. Tom Keeble previews the race and rates the teams' chances of success ahead of the seventeenth round of the 2005 season
The Interlagos circuit in Sao Paulo hosts the Brazilian Grand Prix, and the seventeenth round of the season. The circuit is distinguished by its counter-clockwise nature, a bumpy surface, flowing corners, and a long uphill straight. Consequently, a strong engine is well rewarded, closely followed by efficient aerodynamics. The weather prediction for the weekend includes showers and isolated thunderstorms.
Analysis
With Fernando Alonso looking to tie up the Drivers' Championship, there is little McLaren can do except aim for a one-two and hope the Renault driver does not finish. Of course, that result would also put the team in the lead in the Constructors' Championship.
