McLaren lockout as Alonso struggles ahead of title decider

McLaren's Lewis Hamilton took pole position ahead of team-mate Jesnon Button for tomorrow's Formula One finale in Brazil. Championship leader Sebastian Vettel was out qualified by team mate Mark Webber and will start the race from 4th on the grid. Meanwhile Fernando Alonso was out qualified for the second race in a row by his team-mate Felipe Massa and he will start the race in 8th place and is hoping for a wet race.

According to reports on Sky Sports F1HD Force India's Paul Di Resta is set to take a five place grid penalty and will therefore start the race from 16th on the grid. It was a frustrating session for the Lotus team as Kimi Raikkonen, following his engine blow up this morning could only qualify in 9th place while team-mate Romain Grosjean was involved in an incident with the HRT of Pedro Dela Rosa. And incident which is currently under investigation by the race stewards.

So in my opinion we are in for an incredible race tomorrow. There are so many questions that need to be answered will it rain and as I write this, it is raining in the Sao Paulo Paddock. The other big question mark is who is going to win the championship? Sebastian Vettel or Fernando Alonso? Eddie Jordan is predicting that the title will swing Alonso's way and in fairness to EJ he has been pretty spot in with his predictions this season.

In his final qualifying session before he retires from Formula One Michael Schumacher could only manage 14th on the grid, however the German has always been a rain specialist so anything can happen, he could pick up points tomorrow. He is in a Sauber sandwich with Sergio Perez starting 13th and Kamui Kobayashi starting 15th in what could be the Japanese driver's final race in Formula One.

Meanwhile down at the back of the grod the battle for 10th in the Constructor's championship hotted up as both Caterham driver's out qualified the two Marussia's and the HRT cars. Both Heikki Kovalainen and Vitaly Petrov could be on the way out as the team announced on Friday that they had signed Charles Pic from Marussia.

In what could be the team's last ever GrandPrix, HRT'S Pedro Dela Rosa and Narain Kartikeyan will start the race from the last row of the grid.

So who do I think will win the championship? Well firstly I think Lewis will win the race for McLaren and could possible have Jenson Button finishing in 2nd for a team one -two. I believe however that the championship could go Alosno's way as he and Ferrari appeared to have gambled qualifying performance for the team's race pace.

So we are only 71 laps away from crowning a triple world championship but who will it be?

BREAKING NEWS from Sao Paulo: Williams Pastor Maldonado handed a ten place grid penalty for missing the weigh bridge, as a result Fernando Alonso moves up to 7th on the grid.
