McLaren's Lewis Hamilton was once again the man to beat as the McLaren driver topped the the time-sheets during Friday Practice two in preparation for Sunday's season finale in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
The Brit finished the day, just ahead of Sebastian Vettel and Mark Webber. Ferrari's Felipe Massa finished ahead of team mate Fernando Alonso who is locked in a title battle with Sebastian Vettel. The Ferrari pair finished the day 4th and 5th respectively.
The two Ferrari's were followed by the Mercedes duo of Michael Schumacher in 6th and Nico Rosberg in 7th place. Jenson Button finished the session in 8th place. Meanwhile Romain Grosjean was 9th for Lotus while he team-mate Kimi Raikkonen was down in 12th place following his problem's this morning.
It is going to be extremely interesting to see what happens in qualifying tomorrow and with rain expected on Sunday for race day anything could happen. Fernando Alonso is the clear outsider to take the title, however he just has to look back to Kimi Raikkonen's championship year in 2007 when he arrived in Brazil he was in third place in the championship and finished the season as F1 champion. So it is extremely possible for Alonso to win the title.
The championship is still up for grabs, however Kimi Raikkonen and Lewis Hamilton are battling over 3rd place to be 'best of the rest'. Kimi is currently 16 points ahead of Lewis so if Lewis wins on Sunday Kimi would have to finish 5th or higher in order to finish the season in 3rd place in the Driver's Championship.
So we shall have to wait and see what happens tomorrow and Sunday.
