    That way, they could change his engine and fuel him the way that would be most advantageous for the race. Although, it is a short track, so a heavy load might not be as beneficial as going light to get fast laps in. This is all of Lewis can be patient and pick people off one by one, and not do anything too irrational.
    This way, Lewis can avoid the first corner carnage that is bound to happen, since it is probably going to be a wet race tomorrow.

    That seems crazy to me unless they can guarantee rain. I would think they have a drier setup compared to Massa given the slower times in qualifying, although that was jus the final qualy.

    Crazy idea, but it might actually work... and they could install a new engine!

    Based on news reports, Hamilton is heavy with fuel which is why he has slower times. The McLaren strategy is to stay out longer than Ferrari and get the lead. Jarno Trulli basically detonated that whole strategy as he will hold up McLaren and let Ferrari run out to a big lead until he has to get in his early pit.

    LH needs to hope he doesn't get caught in the first corner carnage though...it's raining in Interlagos at this moment.
