Ferrari's Fernando Alonso believes that he needs the Brazilian Grand Prix to be "chaotic" for him to win the world championship.
The Spaniard will head into Sunday's race 13 points behind leaders Sebastian Vettel of Red Bull and has to finish on the podium to stand any chance of winning the title.
"We know to win the championship we need some retirements or something strange happening," BBC Sport quotes him as saying.
"So we hope for a chaotic race, with many things happening, rain-affected or whatever. With that, we have a chance. In the dry we are not competitive and in the wet the car is performing well sometimes and we are a little bit more comfortable.
"So we see tomorrow. Last time it rained was a different circuit, four months ago and the cars have changed a lot. Obviously [for Ferrari to be] better than in dry conditions is not difficult so I'm sure in wet we can pick up some more performance."
Vettel will start Sunday's race in fourth position , while Alonso be in seventh spot.
