For Honda, the Brazilian Grand Prix will be the last chapter in a painful year and a chance to finally look towards the future, according to team principal Ross Brawn.

Both of Formula One’s championships are up for grabs at the season-ending Brazilian Grand Prix, as arch rivals Ferrari and McLaren battle to secure the constructors’ and drivers’ titles.

To say that it’s not been a vintage year for British drivers in GP2 is something of an understatement. Our only regular starter has Mike Conway at Trident Racing, experiencing a pretty frustrating season. Brits on Pole takes a look at how he fared.

With rain forecast for all three days of the Belgian Grand Prix race weekend, it’s certain that the teams will have to get their thinking caps on in Spa.

Honda team principal Ross Brawn has blocked speculation about his team’s activities on the driver market by confirming it will retain Jenson Button and Rubens Barrichello for the 2009 season.

GP2 driver Mike Conway is plenty good enough for F1, according to Honda supremo Ross Brawn - but that doesn’t mean he’ll ever drive there.

The Guardian has decided to think outside the box today and do a welcome profile of the one British F1 driver who’s getting rather less attention than the other two - Jenson Button.
