I am sure Vettel is running an illegal car. (weight and so on)

and it this thread doesn't seem like it is getting that much action, concedering this might be schumi's last race infront of the Tifosi?

hes not running an illegal car ....
hes got no rev limit range ;) ....... exactly what kubica had when he was a test driver .... he was on the top of the board aswell .... and now just look at his GP performance in the previous races .... if he dose the best drive of his life . he'd end up in 6th place ;) .....

anyways ... good to see heidfeld up there thats a cool job he did :)

A lot closer at the front than I originally expected. I thought the Ferraris would be a good distance ahead. Possibly Raikkonen and Heidfeld are running a tad lighter but great job nonetheless.

Looks like the addition of Kubica has made Heidfeld step up his game. He seemed to be comfortable in the background when a slow Villenueve was around.

I was exciting to see Alonso get into the pits and leave with barely enough time to start his flying lap - he made it with less than 2 seconds to spare. Cool!

I am dreading tomorrow's announcement as it looks highly likely that Michael will bow out. Crap - sad to see such a paragon of excellence leave us.

Damn....I really really wanted to see Schumi vs Kimi

I love Monza, it's so fast!

Alonso given penalty, bumped to 10th on the grid.

I woke up late this morning, does anyone has a replay of the Alonso Massa incident?

I was gonna ask for a source of this info but found one:

http://www.formula1.com/race/news/4923/765.html

I missed that somehow :shock: :D

Well he was on a slow down lap, so he shoulda just let MAssa though.


On our TVs the distance look big but in reality it was no more then .2, which is dead close in race situation, besides the aero effect is huge even with that distance.
