Debate: Where will you watch the last race?
It’s the big one this weekend – the 2007 season finale at Interlagos in Brazil will decide the championship between Lewis Hamilton, Kimi Raikkonen and Fernando Alonso.
So where will you be watching? Down the pub with your mates? On the sofa with all the non-fans ushered out of the room? Perhaps you’re going to the track?
I’ll be taking up station on the sofa as usual although I will miss what in Britain is a rare opportunity to go to bar and be able to expect to see the race – usually nothing shunts football out of the way.
But with Hamilton up for the title, and the race on at a drinking-friendly time, plenty of places are going to show it.
I prefer being able to watch it properly though – switching to the radio to fill-in the bits during advert breaks, and keeping an eye on the timing screens.
Where will you be watching – and who will you be watching with? What time is the race on where you are?
Surely you’re not going to miss it?

i think brasil is more or less in the same time zone, so sunday afternoon, hopefully with the ac off again, the windows open, breeze blowing and in the commercial breaks taking care of the stuff i couldn’t do the rest of the week. i like brasil and canada and indy (bye bye). i can function like a normal person the rest of the day. it makes the following week a little more sane.
but, it is the last race and even though i’ve been begrudginly praying for this day this year (don’t usually)i feel sort of worse than usual. this should have been the kind of year it promised to be in march. this should have been one of the better ones. i miss what was lost.

The race should be on here at 9 in the morning, so that’s a great time compared to usually waking up 5 in the morning, not that I really mind. I’m hoping for a rainy race, chaos, great racing, and Kimi coming out on top! I’ll be very disappointed if it’s just like most of the races this year, that is, no passing at the front.
And I’m already looking forward to next season! Luckily I have football (American) and basketball to keep me entertained until then.

I’ll be watching Ferrari’s 10th victory of the season in the comfort of my room.
Moreover I’ll be in constant touch with a friend on my mobile, who’s a McLaren buff.
Kimi rip them apart!!!
I stand corrected, Ferrari’s 9th victory that is!

Sadly I won’t be watching the final race. I’ll be visiting relatives who don’t own a TV!!! But they have internet oddly enough.
So, anyone who can get parts of the race onto YouTube without too much delay will be a hero in my eyes. ;)

I should be on the couch mac on lap watching TSN in Markham, ON, Canada. I use SpeedChanel as ad filler and yes I preffer Martin Brundle commentating on TSN! At least he gets to drive the ‘beasts’ (cars) on ocasion and knows the drivers on a peer level. And I suspect he could realy spice up the commentary reguarding the drivers foibles! Finaly being English living in Canada and almost Finnish may the best driver Finnish first!

I will be watching the final GP in company with a crowd of us at Silverstone Racing Club – at least there EVERYONE is interested in motorsport – and we are sitting right by the track where we all were in July this year!

I will be at home, in Devon, proping up the armchair, laptop on one side with the live timing, vodka and ciggies on the other, with everyone banned from the house.
FIA GT race from Zolder, on Men and Motors, then the Grand Prix on ITV, followed almost straight away, by the Subway 500 on Satanta.
How does that song go…… I’m in heaven, I’m in heaven…………..
