For the third year in a row, we are all set for a showdown at Interlagos. Though this time the chasing pack need a result to keep them in the hunt for the final race in Abu Dhabi, while Jenson Button stands on the verge of finally securing the title.

There is no time to sit down and rest as the confusing muddle of emotion that has been Formula One in 2009 continues hurtling towards it's conclusion, as the teams fly out to Japan to reacquaint themselves with the classic Suzuka track.

In a coincidence that almost makes you question your own atheism, the weekend after F1 was rocked by the race-fixing trial revolving around events at last season's Singapore GP, the F1 teams leave Europe bound for Singapore once again.

The European leg of the madness that is this year's Formula One season comes to a conclusion at the historic surroundings of the Monza circuit in Italy, where the wings will be skinny, the race will be short and KERS will be very useful indeed.

You wait all summer for a race, and two come along at once. This week sees the teams race at one of the sport's remaining classic tracks at Spa, which guarantees that nobody complains even when the action is as dull as Valencia was.

Hurrah! The long summer break is finally over, and we can finally get back to racing. Although, given that the teams are heading for the Valencia street circuit, you may be tempted to have another week off and wait for Spa. The spectators certainly are.

The last race before F1's barely-earned summer break sees the teams travel to Hungary for 70 tedious laps of the Hungaroring circuit. Which team will grab a last chance for glory before attention turns to suntans and sangria?

After a three week break when F1's war sort of sorted itself out and Bernie Ecclestone made some questionable comments, the cars return to the track at the Nurburgring this weekend for the latest part of a somewhat odd season.
