Let's see what happens in this spectacular and exceptional track.

Wow, strange qualifying.

It's everything so close this year that a track can clearly show the strong parts and the weaknesses of every car. One day you are on the top, next day you struggle and you are not able to aim for Q3.

For McLaren, if we don't have rain, points if possible, if the track starts being slippery, Hamilton and Kovalainen are very good in wet conditions and maybe we can aim for a top-5. (If the race doesn't become a huge mess)

By the way, rumours begin to be strong in most of the teams and fields, and I have the feeling Heikki's future, if it's not decided, it will be decided in the next 2 or 3 races. And:

Quote:

Q: (Will Buxton – Australasian Motor Sport News) Heikki, it’s getting to that point of the year when everyone is talking about driver contracts for next year. As far as we are aware McLaren haven’t taken up their option on you yet, so what are you looking at for next year? Are you talking with other teams? How are things looking? HK: Well, first of all I will not talk about the contractual situation here in public. I did once this year which I regret.

Any feeling?

If Heikki gets a podium finish by the end of the season and if he keeps scoring points constantly his seat is safe in McLaren...

wow fisi on pole with heidfeld? i thought that BMW was a peice of junk... they mustve done something.

its not that strange to see trulli on the front row though, i dont know why so many people are so quick to write him off. he is often king of putting in one lap fast times..... he can just rarely seem to deliver in the race.


i for one hope rubens wins today, or hopefully webber will be able to pick up a bunch of points to keep him up front in the championship battle.

i wonder what the weather is going to do?



all this talk about contracts though, i am kind of hoping that mclaren get a chance to snap up rosberg.... but i cant see that happening seeing as rosberg wouldnt like to be a number 2 guy....

i just want to find out where alonso is going and whether or not heikki is going to stay put long-term.

i think we all know whats going to happen to BADoer though.

Interesting race today for the Championship, the victory, the podium and the points zone. It's been really open.

Heikki has driven in a very good way, possibly one of his best races this season, I am happy and I keep believing he will continue in the team, but I don't know if that depends on the last results he will get.

These last 2 months are going to be of high voltage, who will win? How will be the drivers placed in 2010? A lot of movements are possible.

The Championship was very boring, but it has changed dramatically, now it's pretty enjoyable.

Well done to Force India.

Does anyone else think the Ferrari running off the track in the first corner and gaining two places because of it is deserving of a penalty... last year a McLaren got one for less...

It has been hardly analyzed and criticized by most people, this a video which analyzes 'Le Source movements':

A mistake mustn't concede an advantage, and in this case, it was conceded, so at least we can say it's not fair.

I am even suspicious, because Badoer (The other Ferrari, second 30) doesn't show intention of turning into Le Source, he goes directly straight to take the 'offtrack'.

The first chicanne of Monza always shows problems, if somebody cuts it, gains positions and is penalized there can be a lot of complaining.

I remember 2006 when M.Schumacher cut in Hungary the chicanne several times and then the drivers asked C.Whiting if that was legal, and Charlie said: 'Yes, if it's not done too many times'. (How many times is 'not too many times?)

2 years later, we saw Hamilton cutting a chicanne (Not on purpose, he was a bit forced to do that to avoid a collision against Kimi), returning the position and he was penalized and stripped from the victory because the stewards considered that he had gained an advantage with the movement.

If Räikkönen were driving for another team different from Ferrari, the FIA could still take, maybe, some actions.

In any case, Räikkönen drove in a very good way and his victory is not unfair, but these movements and those 'road offtracks' should dissapear.
