Monza baby! I really enjoy this track and want to see Hamilton win.

I'm a Red Bull fan, and primarily root for Vettel, but I'm not sure that the RB6 is going to deliver its full potential until Singapore. Also, I think that this race is make or break for Ferrari in terms of getting to the top of the championship.

I bet that Alonso will not win. Any takers?

It is interesting that RBR says their car is not as fast as the opposition at both Spa and Monza, yet Mark qualified on pole, and Vettel looked like he was a lot faster than bunsen until he T-boned him.

I suspect there is a lot of sandbagging going on among the top teams.

I don't think any team would sandbag once the first race of the season starts.

The Red Bull is still quick but I wonder if it will have such an advantage over Ferrari and especially McLaren at the next GP. I think that for the rest of the year, they will have to strenghten the nose / floor and will be on par with the Ferrari with the McLaren slightly behind.

If that's the case, I see Seb snapping, Webber slipping back and Alonso and Lewis carving up the next few races.

[Affiltavajefe]

I think the pace of the McLaren and Red Bull is similar now. It'll be down to who makes the fewest mistakes. And over the course of the season, that's McLaren!

[sitescools]

It seems to me that this is the last race RBR is not going to win... and they are really dumb not to focus on MW from right now.

[insightmike]

I guess that Lewis will win again. He is quick at Monza...

.

When I say sandbag, I don't mean on the track - I mean interviews with the media. RBR were supposed to be a lot slower than McLaren at both Spa and Monza according to the team - I don't think they are slow at all.

I know McLaren won't run there F-duct, I wonder if that means no shark fin either.

now, whouldn't that be nice? I really want to see them gone.

[SeftyJokipl]

This comes as no suprise, RBR are doomed from now on.

A few points here and there, that´s all their left.

It was a nice try.

Do you really believe what you write?

RB scrabbling with the B division for scraps.

McLaren running the old Benetton TC system.

What next?

Ferrari using the Delorean out of Back to the Future.

That sums it up. But.

Then there´s Renualt, RBR and Renualt use the same engines but the latter is now much faster on the straights. Indeed, what´s left for poor Mark and Seb.

[betraaaus]

That sums it up. But.

You think there's a possibility Mclaren are using Benetton's TC?

[JackTimQSR]

It'll probably be McLaren, then Ferrari, then Force India and Red Bull I think.

Maybe even Renault will be up there - Kubica has been strong at Monza in the past, and Mercedes have a good engine.

[markkisil]

I would love to see Force India mix up front. As the only team not involved in a championship fight, they can maximise every one else's slight trepidation.

Jenson had his damaged wing and during the really wet laps, Button was signifiicantly the quickest driver on track - especially on the very wet lap 2 where Jense was 1.5 seconds quicker than all except Hamilton [half a second slower than Jenson].

But Monza is such as a unique track that we could see any of the top teams getting it right come qualifying - although I still reckon that the RB6 will be quickest with Ferrari right behind them. I would not be surprised to see Ferrari in front, this is Italy after all.

But it was Jenson being able stay in second place and this is what led Vettel to attack - and it failed as we saw.

[Donlupedron]

Mclaren has not caught up with Red Bull. Spa was not a race in normal conditions. And if the RB6 of Webber had not had problems with the clutch then Webber would have led from start to finish.

Mclaren is the team that makes the best of opportunities that come their way this year - but these sorts of races are exception not the rule.

It is quite ridiculous to use Spa as representing a new pecking order.

It is very early to start declaring championship winners. Under the old system even Jenson in 4th is now still only 14 points behind Hamilton with SIX races to go.

And as Raikkonen demonstrated in 2007 it is never over until it is!

I would never bet against Newey and I still reckon this is going to be a Red Bull year in the end. Vettel is the quickest driver in f1 and Webber right now is the most solid. If Vettel settles down he will not be caught.

[Donlupedron]

Monza, I adore. This track and Monte Carlo are my loves in f1. But Monza has the atmosphere of real racing and there is something so magical going there, especially when the old pits and paddock were still around.

To think who walked and raced there. It is only in Italy that such a place could exist.

And for me, it is where Jody won the grand prix and the championship in a Ferrari in 1979. That IS the ultimate for any racing driver and few have achieved it.

If there is one grand prix where Ferrari are SUPPOSED to win it is at Monza.

This will be El Nano's first visit as a Ferrari driver. No expense and no effort will be spared. I have a very special place for Ferrari - in the same way that I could NEVER have for Mclaren.

So if Jense is not winning then I will as always become a tifosi for the day.

What a pity HE did not move to Ferrari.

[Todilrdc]

Who is El Nano? Is he some sorta Italian wonderkind?
Never heard that nickname before - must be some official name from outaspace.
