Second last race of the year. Awkward time zone for those on the East coast with a 3AM race start. Slightly more manageable 12AM-2AM race for those in Perth.

Circuit Length: 4.309km
Race Length: 303.909
Lap Record: 1:11:473 (Juan Pablo Montoya, 2004)

Rain is forecast for this race, so expect to see either Inters/Wets at some stage in the race. Could bring pit strategy into play.
Lewis Hamilton is on pole

Massa starting his last home race from 13th, dissappointing qualifying from Williams. The real interest will be in the battle at the front between Nico Rosberg and Lewis Hamilton (especially if the wet weather arrives, as Nico isn't as strong). The gap is 19 points with 2 races left. If Nico Rosberg wins this race, he wins the world title. If he finishes 2nd, then he only needs to finish 3rd in the final race to secure the World Title. Its his title to lose
Hamilton will need to win the last two, and hope Nico misses a podium.
