Boring Brazil race would suit McLaren fine

LONDON: McLaren want to make the season-ending Brazilian Grand Prix as dull as possible to ensure Lewis Hamilton brings home their first Formula One title in nine years.

Briton Hamilton dominated a processional Chinese Grand Prix in Shanghai from start to finish on Sunday to go seven points clear of Ferrari's Brazilian Felipe Massa with one race remaining.

If the 23-year-old Briton finishes in the top five at Sao Paulo's Interlagos circuit on Nov 2 he will become the sport's youngest champion and McLaren's first since Mika Hakkinen in 1999.
