Another dramatic finish this year?

The Brazilian GP has been the stage for many championship-determining battles. Last year, Timo's position at the final turn of the final lap had a tremendous impact on the title chase, making for an even more exciting GP than usual. The site for the 16th race of 2009, the Autodromo Jose Carlos Pace is a counter-clockwise circuit featuring many elevation changes. While most F1 circuits are raced clockwise, the last stage of the season presents many circuits that are raced the other way around. The uphill corner and long straight between the final turn and turn 1 are very tough on engines. Turn 1 is an overtaking section, but the tight downhill S curve immediately following makes this section a scene of many accidents every year. This is a course comparatively suited to Jarno's driving style, where he has finished in the points for the past two consecutive years. This year, we have even higher expectations for our Panasonic Toyota Racing drivers.
