 This seems only fitting given today's Brazilian GP and the impending resolution of the year's driver championship. Race coverage begins at 10:30 CST today on Speed. Should be interesting!! I'm pulling for the rookie Lewis Hamilton...

I've never been too gaga over Hublot, but if I had a spare 25k laying around, this one would find a home!! Note the 3T Green highlights...
