    Italian Grand Prix - Monza

    Anyone been watching the first free practice session? Started off damp. Got wetter. Ended up with the garages flooded, (very audible) thunder and lightning and somewhat amusingly, fans sheltering under trees and up against a big metal sheet.

    Nuts.

    I'm not enough of a Ferrari fan to be watching this farce. When's the next BTCC race on?

    There's a thread for that discussion mate. This isn't it.

    I watched it, it got a bit mental for sure!

    formula1.com says electricity went out in some parts aswell.

    Shame I'll miss FP2/Quali

    I wish I caught FP1, watched FP2 - wasn't that great, only Torro Rosso injected a teeny tiny bit of excitement earlier in the session.

    As always, I don't like to go much by Free Practice sessions, god knows what they're all up to.

    Nope. I won't be watching the race, let alone practice session.

    Re: Italian Grand Prix - Monza

    I didn't get to see the practice but I shall watch the qualifying tomorrow

    Obviously a lot of our feelings have been made clear in the other thread, but I'd still like to see what happens at the end of the season. And if the race is wet again, it's deffinatly worth a watch if it's anything like the other wet races this season.

    If we get rain on Sunday this surely must be the wettest F1 season on record?. If not already.

    Include Fuji and Shanghai from the tail end of last season and that's a hell of a lot of wet races in the past year.

    Persistently coming down in the 3rd practice session again. Few cars back on track now, but it's looking wet for qualifying.

    GP2 race this afternoon (if it happens) will be interesting if it remains like this...

    Q1 looks like alot of fun! lol! Talk about a mixed bag in terms of results so far.

    Definitely every race should be in the wet.

    ROLF @ Q2!!!!

    This is hilarious!!! Rain is the great equaliser!

    SPOILER!!!
    PMSL @ Hamilton finishing 15th BEHIND Kimi (14th) and Massa in Q2!!!
