The Autodromo José Carlos Pace of Brazil could be set to stage a wet finale to the 2008 formula one world championship.

Local forecasts from the scene of the Interlagos circuit, located about a half-hour drive from downtown Sao Paulo, suggest that cloudy conditions could bring rain at any point throughout the weekend, including on Sunday.

It has emerged that Brazilian organisers have this week added grooves to three sections of the 4.3km track layout, to improve drainage in the event of heavy rain.
