Brazilian Grand Prix 2009
16 – 18 October, Interlagos, Sao Paulo

In 2009 the Brazilian Grand Prix will not be the last one on the Formula 1 calendar, but lets hope it will be as exciting as the 2008 race.

There were speculations that Massa will be racing again sooner than expected and may be make a surprised return to F1 for his home race in Brazil.

However, after ruling out a return at the Brazilian Grand Prix, a race he won last year, Massa will instead wave the chequered flag at Interlagos alongside football legend Pele and supermodel Gisele Bundchen.

Abu Dhabi Grand Prix

The Abu Dhabi Grand Prix will make its debut on the Formula 1 Calendar in 2009. The race will take place at the Yas Marina Circuit.

Brand new circuit? Has it been designed by Hermann Tilke? Of course it has! He has tried to add a pinch of Monaco and a dash of Spa, but time will tell if he has indeed been successful.

It has been reported that it may in fact be another night race, but nothing has been confirmed so far.

One thing is for sure (for now), it will be the last race of the season and knowing how things get organized in the Middle East, it should be a spectacle!

Japanese Grand Prix

Japanese Grand Prix is another tough race, loved by drivers and fans alike.

The track is unique, one of the very few with a ‘8′ shape and with a lot of turns which give opportunities for overtaking. The circuit is demanding and requires a lot of skill by the drivers.

Some call the Japanese Grand Prix the ‘title decider’. Often being the last race of the season, or at the end of the Formula 1 calendar at least, this even has decided no fewer than 11 titles.

In 2007, it was announced that Fuji will alternate the Japanese Grand Prix with Suzuka, starting from 2009 onwards.

Recent Japanese Grand Prix winners:

2009 Sebastian Vettel Red Bull-Renault
2008 Fernando Alonso Renault
2007 Lewis Hamilton McLaren-Mercedes
2006 Fernando Alonso Renault
2005 Kimi Räikkönen McLaren-Mercedes
