Lap 1 – We’re away in Brazil for the last time this season, and it’s a fantastic start from Ingram in the McLaren! Up into second place from fourth. It’s a poor start for Downton however, who has lost a place to d’Hazorme’s Caterham.

Lap 8 – We’re not too far into this race but already the Merc is struggling, Graham easily demotes him to fifth.

Lap 13 – There’s a Force India at the side of the track, looks like an engine failure for Armos, promoting Downton back up to 16th.

Championship As It Stands:
1. Ingram (McLaren) – 203
2. Franklin (Lotus) – 198
3. Bomeny (Ferrari) – 197
4. Graham (Red Bull) – 195
5. Downton (Lotus) – 194
6. Kingshark (Red Bull) – 194

It’s a perfect race for McLaren so far! Or nearly, team orders aye..

Ret. Ingram (McLaren)

Lap 20 – Kingshark on a charge, demotes the Mercedes of Robson yet further, down to sixth place.

Lap 24 – Clearly Red Bull have some pace at the moment, Graham passes Bomeny and into third place.

Lap 27 – With that move from Graham it looks like Hofman is slowing to allow Ingram through into the lead…

Lap 28 – But it’s never going to happen! At possibly the worst point all season, Ingram’s McLaren has pulled off at the side of the road! It’s such a shame. Ingram is out of the race, and the title fight, having looked so strong.

Lap 31 – Kingshark still on a charge out there, takes the final podium spot from Felipe Bomeny’s Ferrari, next up is his teammate…

Lap 32 – Nykänen is flying out there, as he takes sixth place from long time Championship leader Jamie Franklin. The Brit won’t like that.

Lap 33 – Not a good few laps for Lotus as they watch the Championship quickly glide away, Downton loses 15th to Needham’s Toro Rosso.

Championship As It Stands:
1. Graham (Red Bull) – 201 (3 wins)
2. Kingshark (Red Bull) – 201 (1 win)
3. Franklin (Lotus) – 198
4. Downton (Lotus) – 194 (2 wins)
5. Bomeny (Ferrari) – 194 (1 win)
6. Ingram (McLaren) – 185
