Red Bull Planning to Attack at Interlagos

Brazilian Grand Prix Set to be a Stunner

Either Alonso or Vettel will become world champion on Sunday

After a long season, there is just one round left, and it is set to be very exciting. The World Drivers' Championship is not yet decided, and 13 points separate Sebastian Vettel from Fernando Alonso. Third place in the WDC is not yet decided either. Kimi Raikkonen has a comfortable but not definitive 16-point lead over Lewis Hamilton. 

Fifth place is also still open with just two points separating Mark Webber and Jenson Button.

wants Vettel to win his third WDC in a row and are planning a push in Brazil. Vettel needs to finish in at least fourth to clinch the championship. 

Vettel finished second at the Brazilian Grand Prix last year, but early reports indicate that there may be rain for the race on Sunday. 

"We have to go there, attack the weekend, and get the best out of ourselves; the car, the strategy, the drivers, and reliability," said Red Bull Team Boss Christian Horner.

is fighting to give Raikkonen third place in the WDC. It would be a great result for a driver who has not raced in Formula 1 for two seasons. 

"We will definitely do everything for Kimi to have to fly to Istanbul.

"We have to put ourselves in the same position we were this weekend. The objective is to have one car on the podium at least," said Lotus Team Boss Eric Boullier.

The WDC trophies are handed out at a ceremony in Istanbul.
