    That was probably Vettel's best win of his career. Helped by SC (and some team orders after) but still. Well deserved for once ;)

    Yes my borther mentioned that, I gather it must of been telling him that it was the last lap or something.

    On another good note, Kubica has had his final operation and it's gone very well.

    I noticed Vettel's display going haywire. Not the end of the world, he can manage the gears without the display, and his lead was comfortable enough not to need the deltas.

    did he slow at the start just to let someon eahead of him just so he could prove the 'he can't overtake' myth false?

    I keep an eye on F1, not too much(my name tells everything) and I also am a big fan of Tennis and Snooker, but I like F1 because of the speed and passion. The first GP I watched was the Italian GP 2010 and seeing a Ferrari win at Monza,Italy and the passion that the fans had and the race itself was tight between Button and Alonso, brought me into the sport. I missed today's GP( I was busy I try and watch all of them but never really get the time and I only have missed the Malaysia and this one so not too much lol) but I read the BBC's report and saw the highlights and of course Vettel win again which is testament to his great car and he is a great driver.

    The championship is probably gone, but anything can happen.

    As for who do I support I try and mainly support the Brits, I like Jenson's smooth driving and I like Lewis's never give up attitude. Sometimes, like today it goes too far but he is a human and will make mistakes. I like Webber too. So mainly if you had to push me for one, I would say Jenson is my favourite/who I would support.

    Thanks. Yeah great job by Jenson, that was champion's drive considering he started 13th. Also I thought Schumacher did really well from last really to 5th. Alonso and Rosberg did well to even though there car's pace faded as they went on in the race.

    Ferrari really struggle on the Medium/Hard tyres. Thankfully, the next race have soft and super soft.

    I was shocked by what I saw today. Wasn't even the hard tyres. I'm hoping that the low downforce set-up was the main contributor of Ferrari's tyre struggles today. It better be.

    I wouldn't bet against Red Bull after today, nailed their set up. I think it will probably be contested by the usual suspects, Red Bull, Ferrari and McLaren, and I'd include Massa in that.

    Should be hot stuff in Italy, not good for McLaren or Mercedes.

    Think it will be Alonso this time! S & SS suits Ferrari, they are always great at Monza (in the dry) and they have good top speed. The DRS will help Red Bull, which is another reason to get rid of it, but this will be Alonso's me thinkz.

    ferrari have good top speed, but look at RBR today, their straightline speed surprised me, i really thought the Renault supplied teams would struggle more. McLaren have the best car (imo) but have had so much bad luck, poor decision making that they've ruined their own chances of catching RBR, which i believe they could've done without the mistakes.

    Superb race by Button, almost as good from Schuey (take note Manny).
    Button made the better overtakes, I think - but the old boy showed a few youngsters how to stick with it to the flag!!!

    A very enjoyable race - again!!

    I don't know how a guy in a race winning car starting 13th and finishing 3rd because his team mate crashed out is more skillful than a 42year old man starting dead last in a potential 7/8 place car and overtaking 19 cars as well as his teammate and finishing 5th but oh well... everyone has their own opinion. :)

    Don't mean to be arrogant but, "he is in a potential race winning car".

    I think Schumacher was lucky to go out in qualifying. If he didnt and got in the top 10, he would have (most likely) started on the options. Then he would also have less new tyres, and would have had to go to the primes after the SC not the options.
    I think going out in Q1 is an advantage on a track you can overtake on, aslong as you get rid of the primes straight away.
