    Italian Grand Prix

    Anyone else watching? I'm really enjoying this race, the Hamilton/Raikkonen scrap is fantastic and Button/Rosberg competition was superb viewing earlier in the race!

    I'm watching it...what a move from Hamilton!

    So good to see Button in a capable car now, it was great watching him and Rosberg scraping.

    Definitely one of the better races of this year, pity to see Coulthard make 5 places at the start only to have his car fail though.

    Good result I thought, kimi looked throughly annoyed and barely had anything to say in the press conference. You would have thought he'd be a bit happier with getting the result he did.

    So happy that Button did well in this race, I just hope that Honda pull it out of the bag for next year.

    Full credit has to go to Hamilton though, that overtake was something else.

    The car failed because he crashed into a car ahead of him

    Was a very heavy impact though. Curve Grande is not a corner you want a car to fail on.

    Kimi was a great today, but Bernd Maylander was easily the driver of the day.

    He drove the wheels off that safety car, I'm sure I saw it going sideways at one point

    Re: Italian Grand Prix

    It want that CLK, even if it's just the engine noise on CD!

    Lewis got it spot on with the pass, if he waited I doubt he'd got through, but am I the only one to think he should never have let it get to that point?

    Gotta love 'ole 'I am a stoneface but I wear a gorilla suit at home' Kimi and frankly I can't blame him for looking grumpy, the car just wasn't fast enough.

    As for Jenson, top marks, had my fingers crossed for seventh though, maybe next time. He and Rubens both did a top job.

    Gutted for David. Damn aren't the BMW's in their own race stuck between the Ferraris and the rest!

    Oh and Alonso, you're not playing my game here, I said Lewis, Massa, Kimi THEN you for the championship. Damn fine drive but I want to see Ron take you over his knee and beat the insolence outta you!

    Re: Italian Grand Prix

    I have never seen a driver less happy to win a race...

    I think Lewis got into the position after flat-spotting his tires in the middle stint, he couldn't push as far as he'd have liked. Can he still win the championship?

    Re: Italian Grand Prix

    The one thing that would ruin this year is kimi winning the WC by default. After reading some of the press over the weekend I'm getting worried.
