Awesome, love the track! Never will forget my favourite driver having a cry in the bushes there, to then fight back in the following rounds and claim the championship!

Everytime Monza is on I get all depressed from when I went there, I was the year Vettel won his first race with STR. Feels centuries ago :(

Oh wow, that would have been awesome to see the cars at such a fast circuit. Were you able to check out any of the old banked sections?

Yeah would be an amazing place to watch a race. In the top 3 wishlist I'd say.

Q1 done, no surprises so far.

Tough road ahead for the Red Bulls tonight, they really hurt for speed at times. I'm thinking we might see something special from Kimi tonight in the Lotus, I don't think qual tells the full picture. Also hard to say how the Ferrari is after Alonsos strange q3.

Or maybe the Mclarens will just run away with it...

Yeah they seem to have come back from the mid season break with something extra, Button did it so easy at Spa with that new rear wing. Plus locking out the front row is a big advantage.

The hope is some of the other cars are geared better for the race, where they can use a better gearing combined with DRS to keep in touch, if not ahead.

Or we just need some numbnut to wipe out the first few cars into turn one again haha

Hard not seeing the McLarens getting away with a 1/2 finish. Still should make for an interesting race with the big guns down further in the starting order.

Well I won't give away any spoilers just yet in case some are watching it later, but a few surprises in there.

Tyres seem to have far less degradation in the last few rounds, it's almost "old" pit strategies.

I wish Kamui was a more consistent driver. If he could just be put under immediate pressure every second of the race he'd have his first podium already.

Good race, you'll love how the guy in second place got there :)

meh, one good drive does not a good race make.

I'm sick of people winning from pole so easily, F1 is about battling for the race lead not fighting over 5th place

Monza is now a DRS track :|

I'm still a bit unsure about the whole DRS thing. Yes, there was alot of overtaking which is what people want I guess......but it seems a bit artificial to me.


While I'm here, here's an interesting gif.

That's an awesome gif !

And that video reminds me I really want Wipeout HD on PS3. Haven't played a Wipeout since the originals.

Edit- Damn autocorrect
