The Official Italian GP Thread 2010 ***SPOILERS***

Right - someone had to start it.

I went last year as part of my honeymoon. Fairly static race. Great crowd, amazing atmosphere and very well run by the organisers. Highly recommended.

Quali: I think McLaren, Ferrari and Force India will be the main players for the front two rows; Red Bull around 3/4 rows if they get a good balance.

Race: Hamilton/Alonso/Webber

The McLarens will be fastest, with the Force India close, then Ferrari and Red Bull.

There is a lot riding on this for Alonso, Vettel and Button. Alonso should do well if he keeps his head together and Vettel will get the better of Webber, if he doesn't implode. But, my money is on Button. He knows what he has to do, and providing he keeps his head together in qualifying he should take it. So...

Qualifying
1, Hamilton
2, Button
3, Sutil
4, Alonso

Race
1, Button
2, Hamilton
3, Alonso
4, Webber

All IMO of course

I'd put a tenner on that, except

Race

2, Button

(and I'm a Button fan).

Despite my stupidity minutes ago, having spent most of the sumer in southern Switzerland - I did observe that the weather was terrible this August and that the locals thought it was going to be a terrible Autumn - worst weather for 15 yrs in that region (early snow, rain, etc)

I'm just hoping for a rainy race

Hamilton and Webber will either fail to finish or will score no/minor points.

Nah, Vettel will clobber Sutil at turn 1, taking them both out.

[stuttgartmetal]

I just feel that FIAT will do well here

[Mazda Baiter]

I have a feeling that Button could be on form here, he could bring himself back into title contention again.

But then we wouldn't have 5 in the hunt for the WDC would we?

Hamilton and Webber will have a shocker. Fred will win one for the team and to keep the Italians happy. Button and Vettel will be back in the game.

Qually:
- 1) Webber
- 2) Alonso
- 3) Sutil

I know Red Bull aren't meant to be fast here, but we do seem to count them out most races...

Race:
- 1) Hamilton
- 2) Button
- 3) Webber

Fred's turn to be mauled by Vettel. McLaren prove to have stronger race pace. Webber settles for third, and so doesn't put up much of a fight against the British duo.

Quali.

1. Hamilton
2. Alonso
3. Massa

Race result

1.Hamilton
2.Button
3.Alonso

BUMP!!

[Carmo99]

I will be interested to see if the RB flexi wing story continues here. I agree with JB's comments (on the RB being slower now) so my view is as follows:

Quali Hami, Alo, But, Sut

Race But, Ham, Vet, Alo
