2008 Formula One Italian Grand Prix

[Rockefella]

just watched the GP2 race on TV. the track was wet at the beginning but drying with the race going on. there is still a subtle rain which will wet again the track by the time the F1 race will start, but as forecasted yesterday, the day seems to be prevalently cloudy.

You do live in Italy so you'd probably know better than me but I'm hearing light rain expected.

Saftey car start FTL

Webber needs to punch Lewis in the head, how he cut him off and gave him no room is a dog act, not his only peice of ordinary driving....LEWIS ITS CALLED RACING ROOM

Coulthard give it away, your going to kill someone

Congrats to Vettel... fantastic race and stratedgy

[Dino Scuderia]

Awesome job by Vettel.

Embarrassing for Kov and the whole Ferrari team.

I'm shocked Hami didn't get around Massa...but the drier the track got the more the red cars came alive.

I think that the Mclarens work their tyres harder than the Ferrari, at the start of a stint the Mclarens fly but they use their tyres doing it

[Matra et Alpine]

Let's not forget Massa cut the chicane whilst staying ahead of Hamilton .... isn't that "gaining advantage" ?

BUT ... well done TorroRosso and Vettel ... justhope he can cope with youngest ever p1 quali and winner !!!

OMG, what an amazing race!! And what an amazing drive for Vettel.
AFAIK, BMW is waiting for Alonso's decision to name their lineup for the next season? Well, f..k Alonso - take Vettel

P.S. Did anyone think it's a nostalgie to hear German and Italian anthems together again?

[LeonOfTheDead]

Congrats to Vettel and Toro Rosso.
I have to say that, yes, Hamilton did a good race, but his attitude is a little too much aggressive, when he "pushed" Glock on the wet grass it wasn't a nice thing to do at more than 200 kmh.
Massa and Raikkonen (and Ferrari) are almost unforgivable for their low standard race. Can't understand why Raikkonen always set the fastest times in the end of the last races (apart from Spa obviously). And I also think that Ferrari lost its technical advantage over McLaren.
they need to work very hard if they want to win something.

Congrats again to Vettel and "Minardi"

[Ferrer]

Vettel will be a great champion. Superb race.

Hamilton is just a bastard. You may be fast, but there's no need to force other people off the road.

Not to take the blame off Ham, but they both were guilty - Webber could slow down a bit to avoid the collision, but he didn't.

Glock was purely innocent on the other side. I agree with Ferrer, if Hamilton goes on in this way, he will gain a worse reputation than that of Schumacher in his first years of F1...

Its not nice its very dangerous.... Lewis would want to change his attitude of win it or bin it and no one can pass me, its all good and well to race hard but pushing people off the track and giving no racing room is rediculous

I completely agree with you, I was sarcastic

[Ferrer]

Or simply Hamilton could've stayed on the right part of the track where he was.

But anyway, the Glock case was much worse, as Leon points out.
