    This is the Italian Grand Prix thread!

    Please forgive my lack of information. I do not have time to do it now but will be happy if anyone wants to update this first post with something more substantial.

    Naturally, people are already wanting to discuss this event which begins in well under 48 hours. I am happy if a moderator wishes to edit this unusually lean introductory post!

    :)

    I presume that Grand Prix chat and prediction threads are normally 'stickied' but I do not know how to do it. Perhaps a moderator might oblige?

    I don't play it, but the prediction league is missing
    The obvious choice is Mercedes to fly away with it, but I can't help feeling something else will happen, I think Bottas may get his maiden victory, I dunno why, possibly because Williams have been so poor lately I feel it's going to come together here.
    Wishful thinking, Hamilton will trot off into the distance while Rosberg wilts like the lettuce in a 1970's BR sandwich

    Thanks Cosi and Bando for this, not only have I been lazy I've been busy, I guess one is a result of the other.

    Cheers.

    You may need to add a point to all whom voted Lewis in Spa and update the tally.

    Doesn't he have a contract with the tracks to make sure a certain number of drivers/teams are present?

    Wonder how long it'll be before the drivers get these removed so they can cut the corner?

    What were they thinking? How are the drivers supposed to get four wheels off the track there? Amateur circuit makers.

    You take the red route.
    Piss taking aside, I think they should be a bit further over.

    McLaren to use another new ICE for both drivers... right now, they've been penalised 4,505 grid places... they get fined anymore they'll be starting the next GP from 1993!

    That's quite a bit of wing... no?

    Or maybe they are... a lower downforce variant of the wing used at Spa..

    Not a great angle, but McLaren seems to be winning the 'no rear wing' game
