I just find it poor, Spa was a lot less exciting because we lost Alonso and Lewis at turn 1, ...

That's exactly how I felt.
The only thing that made it exciting for me, was finding out how many points Vettel would score.

But, you can't blame anyone for that...unfortunately when you have a crash right at the front of the field, these things happen.

I am hoping to see Hamilton, Vettel and Alonso, all race full distances at Monza.
 
A McLaren 1-2 is possible.
Based on the last 2 races, McLaren seem to currently have the fastest car, so if this holds true at Monza, it is possible.

I'm not sure if Vettel would finish outside the top 5 given that RBR have a pretty terrific car.
 
Looking forward to this. I will be in the grandstand at my first F1 race. Just need a good prediction for the work F1 league as I'm currently in pole.

I can't help think it will be Alsono with it being Ferrari's home race?

i think i've finally got my head around them. i've probably missed a couple but got most of them:

Vettel = Princess Stampyfoot, Vimto
d'Ambrosio = Custard
Hamilton = The Messiah?
Grosjean = Fat John
Raikkonen = Ice (cream) man
Maldonardo = Loldonardo
Alonso = Teflonso
Jenson Button = Jenson Balance
Pat Symonds = Prat Symonds.
Danny Bahar = Danny Bahahahahar
McLaren = McClown
Lotus = Loltus
HRT = Fail

Some of them are bleeding obvious but i figured a list of all of them might help. let me know if i missed any :)
 
I'm currently sat in our Milan office. Chances are high that I'll be free on Sunday so I'm going to chance my arm at getting a ticket on the gate!

GA areas look pretty rubbish, anyone got any specific tips other than "get there early"?

Seems the track is quite green still, so interesting to see how much quicker they go in FP2 in 45 mins time :)

Hmmm, Mercedes looking pretty good then?

Obviously pinch of salt and all that.

Also Custard has nothing on the Ice Cream Man.
Click to expand...

probably fumes although we know there fast n a straight line because they can generate downforce and theres not much drag on the car.

anything they make up on the straights will probably be lost in parabolica come a decent fuel load
 
Massa to outqualify Alonso tomorrow?:D

Wonder what McLaren can do to reduce that 0.3 difference ( I wonder how much of that is due to "double drs", just out of interest more than anything else)
