Fernando Alonso says he believes that McLaren will play fair in Brazil by treating him and Lewis Hamilton equally - but has reiterated his belief that the team is conspiring against him

Having already won the Constructors' Championship, Ferrari are still on track to add the Drivers' title to their list with Kimi Raikkonen seven points behind Lewis Hamilton and four adrift of Fernando Alonso in the standings.

Raikkonen therefore needs the win, or at worst second place, and for his team-mate Felipe Massa to run interference if he hopes to clinch his first-ever Drivers' title.

"If we look at the next race, we don't have any other choice than to be aggressive in a way, so we need to think that we need to achieve first and second and then that's it," said the Scuderia's sporting director Stefano Domenicali.

"That, for sure, will be our strategy.

"The most important thing is that we are really working very well together and we know that the only thing we need is to be feet on the ground and try to respond with the results, and that's it, and that is the reason why we are here.

"So it's good to back in Brazil with the chance to win also the second Championship, that's for sure."

Domenicali also believes putting a bit of extra pressure on the already over-stressed shoulders of the McLaren drivers won't do Ferrari's chances of winning any harm.

"It's already difficult because we need to be first and second and then we will see, but for sure, with all due respect, we understand that the pressure is high on both of their drivers," he said.

"The only thing that I can say is to focus on our job and that's it to be honest. We respect the work of the others but what we are going to do is to try to put pressure on them, that's for sure."

It's going to be an interesting race. I hope Hamilton wins the WDC, but failing that, Raikkonen has always been one of my favourite drivers. I only ever supported Alonso in 2005, but after that I wasn't really interested in him, and I have to admit I kind of wanted Schumacher to win in 2006. This year Alonso's shown some signs that he doesn't like having competition from within the team, and it has made him out to be a little bit more arrogant than I thought. He needs a year at a slower team to get his act together, and maybe he'll come back and become champion again in the future. Obviously he also has the chance next weekend to take the title again. Good luck to everyone!

I hope Looey and Fonzo crash out coming out of the Senna curves there and Massa wins piloting Kimi home a close second.

As much as i would LOVE kimi to win it, alonso has the good chance. All he needs is either massa or raikkonen to finish ahead of hamilton and (assuming alonso wins) BANG 3rd WDC.

I dnt think Hamilton will handle the pressure like the 2 guys who have been in this position more than once

:shock:woah.... i almost can't watch this event (hoahem ..................) . Why? Because i live in Southeast Asia (Indonesia), the race starts at 11.00 PM. So, i'cant watch this gruelling event. But i hope there's a intensebattle between Lewis and Kimi in this race.
