The 2008 Brazilian Grand Prix is the eighteenth and last race of the 2008 Formula One season. It will be held from October 31 to November 2 at the Autódromo José Carlos Pace in São Paulo. The race is likely to be the final race of David Coulthard, the driver who replaced Ayrton Senna after his death at the 1994 San Marino Grand Prix.

In 2007, The Championship was decided in the Brazilian Grand Prix, which was won by Kimi Räikkönen. Lewis Hamilton, who had held a four point lead in the championship, suffered a series of problems during the final race, finishing 7th and losing the championship to Räikkönen by a single point.

The Brazilian Grand Prix was also a Championship decider in 2005 and 2006. Both titles went to Fernando Alonso of Renault, whilst the races went to South Americans Felipe Massa (2006) and Juan Pablo Montoya (2005). Alonso has never won the race.

Two more former Brazilian Grand Prix winners will be in the field; Giancarlo Fisichella of Jordan (now Force India) won the chaotic 2003 race after a court challenge to the original result that Räikkönen won. 2008 retiree David Coulthard won another wet race in 2001 after Jos Verstappen crashed into Juan Pablo Montoya.

Notes

*This will be David Coulthard's last Grand Prix of his career.
*The race will be the final Formula One event for UK broadcaster ITV.
