The last Formula 1 Race of the 2013 season is bound to offer us some interesting racing and results, despite the Driver's Championship being already settled.
Currently, the Mercedes-AMG Petronas team is sitting semi-comfortably in second place in the Constructor's Championship, but Nico and Lewis will need to bring home every point they can in order to preserve their spot.

Nico Rosberg: “The weather forecast for Interlagos looks interesting this weekend and if it does rain, that would be a good opportunity for us as our car is generally quick in the wet. I’m really looking forward to the weekend and everyone at the team is hoping for a great result to end the season on a high. It would be fantastic to achieve second place in the Constructors’ Championship to give all of the team here and back at the factories in Brackley and Brixworth an early Christmas present!”

Lewis Hamilton: “It’s difficult to believe that the final race of my first season with MERCEDES AMG PETRONAS has come round already as this year seems to have flown by. We know what we have to achieve this weekend in Sao Paulo and everyone is so fired up to have a good weekend and to be in that second place in the Championship on Sunday afternoon. I had a good race in Austin and it felt great to get that under my belt before the end of the season and I’m really looking forward to Brazil. Interlagos is such a unique track in its location and layout, and I have some great memories from previous races there. The passion of the Brazilian fans is amazing and it’s fantastic to see their support over the weekend. We’ll be hoping for a smooth weekend but it’ll be interesting to see how the predicted weather develops.”

Early weather forecast is showing mixed conditions, but if it indeed does rain, the Mercedes-AMG Petronas cars should fair above average. We're looking forward to the qualification sessions on Saturday as well, despite the statistics which say that the pole position driver usually came in second or lower in the last eight out of ten races at the Interlagos Grand Prix.
