Brazil 2008 fresh in McLaren mind

The 2008 Brazilian Grand Prix remains a vivid memory in both the Formula One and sporting worlds as the circus prepares to return to the scene of the last-lap title deciding moment next weekend.

Brazil 2008 will forever live in the minds of Formula One fans as Lewis Hamilton snatched back the title from home favourite Felipe Massa at the final corner of the season.

Martin Whitmarsh, McLaren Team Principal

"Nobody on our team will ever forget the dramatic final laps of the 2008 Brazilian Grand Prix - they are memories that will live with us forever," McLaren Team Principal Martin Whitmarsh said. "Of course, the defining moments of the last two World Championships have both taken place in Brazil and, as a result, the race has become an unusually colourful and intense occasion for us.

"Travelling to São Paulo this year with our focus solely on achieving the very best result will allow us to attack the race weekend without any additional considerations and we are very much looking forward to that challenge."
