Meanwhile, Schumacher, who won his first title at age 27, has four career victories at Interlagos.
Winner of the last five F1 championships, Schumacher is third in the standings with 55 points -- 56 points behind Alonso and long out of contention.
"We will as usual try our best and we hope the circumstances turn in our favor," Schumacher said of his attitude for tomorrow's race.
The only thing Schumacher has now is memories of past championships especially his first 11 years ago.
"It was a long time ago," said Schumacher, remembering back to 1994 when he was with Benetton. "There was a huge celebration we had afterward. There was huge joy on the team so it will be something special for them."
Schumacher's only victory of the year came at the United States GP, when seven teams dropped out because of safety concerns over tires.
The German driver also has not finished five races including two of the last three. From 2001 to 2004 he dropped out of a total of four in 68 races.
