Champion's parents to wave Brazil Grand Prix chequered flag
Family members of the 2008 world champion will be invited to wave the chequered flag at the end of Sunday's championship showdown in Brazil.
Organisers of the race at Interlagos said that, depending on the outcome of the preceding 70 laps, either Felipe Massa's parents Luiz Antonio and Ana Elena, or Lewis Hamilton's father and brother Anthony and Nicholas will be invited to officially mark the end of the race.
White livery for Coulthard's last race
David Coulthard's Red Bull will feature a special livery in Brazil this weekend for the last race of his 15-year formula one career.
Mechanics for the Milton Keynes based squad were at Interlagos spotted working on a predominantly white RB4, also featuring brown on the front wing, and the words 'Wings For Life'. "I'm dedicating my last race to the vision of making paraplegia curable," said the Scot, referring to the Red Bull-backed spinal cord research foundation.
Since the other Red Bull of Mark Webber will feature the team's usual dark blue livery, team bosses had to unanimously agree to allow Red Bull to run two distinct liveries. "We had permission from all the teams to run my car in an independent livery which I think is a first in this modern era of formula one," Coulthard pinpointed.
