It's a pity Bernie inflates his pocket with new tracks at the expense of historical tracks.

I sort of enjoyed Monza, a pity Webber did not get a few more points but the championship is nicely set up for some decent end of season scraps :)

Nick Heidfeld confirmed to drive for Sauber.

Kimi approached Renault. Confirmed by Renault.
Is this a ploy to get more $$ out of Citroen or a ploy to get more $$$ out of Red Bull who surely would want Kimi to replace Webber when the Aussie retires as 2010 World Champion?
Or is it a cunning plan to drive a Renault for less $?
Raikkonen & Kubica would be a pretty good line up, but Petrov has driven well and deserves to continue in F1

If Renault gets Kimi they must be patient and be prepaired to use 2011 as a break-in season. They can't expect him to be on the top of his game.

I'd be willing to bet hard cash that Kimi will be faster than Schumacher!

McLaren is quite bold in proclaiming they have cracked the downforce problem. Time will tell.

After supporting McLaren for so many years, losing money on bets, and so on, I never thought I will ever say this -

FORZA ALONSO! FORZA FERRARI!

Android? You mean Kimi?
I think Kimi will be in a 2011 Red Bull after Webber retires as World Champion 2010 :lol:

Poor Lewis, he was the only one among the 4 cars who tried to overtake and he paid the price. I'm afraid he lost his advantage. The gap now relies on other drivers not finishing. Given the McLaren's poor pace, 4 races to go, this is not looking good.

Yes, Hamster's effort should be applauded but i think it was a racing incident.
I doubt it will stop him trying similar moves in the future
I see many question the fragility of the McLaren, it seems every time they get into a tangle with any other car they come off worst.

Button and Hamilton do not seem to have the cars to fight for the championship now, so i would not be surprised to see both of them throw caution to the winds, and with a dash of Vettel's unrestrained stupidity thrown in for good measure we should be in for some exciting races.

My heart says Webber, my gut says not.
I don't see Massa being of any use to Alonso, so if Alonso wants another crown it all down to him.
The 8 engine rule favours Webber, it will be a miracle if Alonso dodges a blown engine or a 10 place penalty for a new engine
