Monza

We forgot to add a thread.

Freddy on pole, the 1st for Ferrari in 30 races!

Massa 3rd, Webber beats Vettel, and Buttons beats Hamilton.


Interesting turn of events.

Forgot? Or didn't bother?

Freddy on pole, and the whole country of Douchebagistan rejoices.

I'm rooting for Button and, of course, Bobby K!

GP2 Race 1 was a stonker for the first few laps - more Safety Cars than race laps...and if Pastor Maldonado reckons that he's due an F1 seat, then he better think again...what a twat...!

Well I was ecstatic! That was a very well deserved pole postition and while the rest of the paddock gossips and speculates we might just manage to fight back into championship contention. Today was the anniversary of one of the most emotional Ferrari victories of all time and tomorrow is another Italian Grand Prix. To come back from where we are right now would almost be a miracle, but that's what Ferrari is all about. If anyone can pull this off it's Ferrari...FORZA FERRARI!!!!

:-D I KNEW IT!!!! Well done guys!!!!!

Yes, I'm sure it was a much sweeter win for Alonso than Hockenheim, lol.

McLarens should hang their heads in shame, .8 of a second longer than Alonso on the tyre change gifted the race to Farrari.

Alonso was very luck to hold onto 2nd place at the first corner, a driver with more balls than Massa (and not a designated 2nd driver) would have got through.

Danny, I'm sure Massa has both the skill and the balls to have pulled off the move, but knowing that he would just have to cede the plase to Alonso later, what's the point?

.

Singapore next.

Unless Massa "chooses" to plant his Ferrari into the wall, Nando's got no chance.

Duff decision by Lewis to try to win the race on the 4th corner of Lap 1, but hey ho. We saw the Lewis 2007 model today, as opposed to the 2010 model. Yet LH won last year's Singapore... here's hoping...

Whatever - it's tightened-up both the WDC and WCC. Last race decides the WDC...? YAY!

I enjoyed Hulkenberg's drive - yes, slightly naughty perhaps...but spirited...! No more than Kobayashi did last year and earlier this year IMHO.

FANTASTIC drives by both Jason Bunton and Nando before the pitstops - no overtaking, but a great "atmosphere of anticipation".

BTW - Evil Fart is now well-ahead of Olaf Ffuxache. Oooops...

It was nice to see Lewis own up and take the blame.

“It was nice to see Lewis own up and take the blame.”

I thought it was a %^&*ing miracle, I was expecting him to say something like this:

“I was ahead of FM coming out of turn 3 and he just shot ahead and took me off. If I repeat this to the stewards maybe he'll get penalised.”

As to race, I thought is was actually interesting. Although this was mainly do to JB and FA running different wing configurations allowing for closer racing between the two. I also thought MW got screwed by NH with the whole, 'when MW makes a move, we'll just brake really really late and cut the chicane' trick.

Great race.

Great race by Vettel.

Great race by Ferrari crew. I know why they were so fast, I saw it in the replay, ingenious actually. The front jackman's jack swivels, so that he jacks the front end up normally. He then swivels to the garage side of the car. When the tires are changed he lets the car down and then pulls it out of the way from the side thereby saving the time it would take for him to get out of the way.

I didn't notice anybody else with this.

Ferrari were always going to be fast at Monza, the rest of this seasons tracks will not suit them, 4th at best in the last few races.

Oh and another thing, we purposely did not watch the BBC coverage supplied by TSN. It meant we had to wait for the Speed rebroadcast of the race but that is the way its going to be from now on.

It was a breath of fresh air. Totally unbiased and for the most part neutral.
I will not watch another BBC or ITV covered race again if I can help it.

If you get a vpn number, you can watch the race muted and, if you log into the internet via a German vpn number, you can listen to the race in German from a station that gives a live broadcast.

I don't know why you don't just watch it "live" and with the sound muted anyway, you can watch "live timing" with a blog on your computer, there is enough information coming up on screen to keep you informed..
