    Gone with Schumacher, firstly because he is awesome and secondly because he is awesome.
    Forgot to mention the Mercedes has awesome straight line speed.

    I'll wait to see what the weather's doing, probably dry in which case I think I'll go for Alonso.

    Voted for Alonso because I honestly believe his car will be good enough to win this race.

    It might be difficult because the soft and medium will be used, but it is probably Ferrari's best chance of winning another Grand Prix this year.

    I think you may be right. It depends on whether they can maintain their speed at the start of the race for the whole duration. It was disappointing to see them tail off as the race progressed on Sunday.

    There is something about Ferrari at Monza, but I don't think they have the car, and cowboy, this is the track the Force Indias are good at (or where at least). after Spa I'm not sure about RBR, before spa i would've said not likely a win here, but after the surprise of their pace there I think it's between Vettel, Hamilton and Button.

    I know the results have already been debated, but I'd like to add my name to those missing a point. I know when I chose there were only 4 names for Vettel, and I think this was probably wednesday/thursday last week. Sorry to be a pain, but I actually cheered when I realised I was leading something (sad, I know), and I would like that little number changing to keep me smiling. (Sorry, that really, really is sad).

    I'm looking forward to Monza, it promises a bit of a mix up, although I fear the same teams will be on the podium as for the majority of this season. I'd like to see a mercedes, Force India, etc, challenging near the top for a change. Not sure who I'm predicting for the win yet, although my habit of predicting Vettel for every race (except China, typical) this season hasn't served me too badly so far!

    Well that means Ferrari have 10 days to sort out their medium tyre problems. I'm going for a McLaren win just because of Jenson's pace in Spa.

    I can tell you now that Ferrari won't sort it out by Monza. They might make a couple of changes to improve the situation but it won't make a significant difference. They are switching to 2012 development very soon so I doubt they will solve this issue in 2011. The best thing Ferrari can do is learn from their mistakes so that they don't suffer the same problems next year.

    Do Ferrari even need to sort it out? After Monza the rest of the races should be hot which wil play into Ferrari's hands.

    I'd assume it will be a dry race. It's wet this weekend, so the bad weather will probably have gone away by the time of the race weekend.

    I reckon that Vettel will have this one in the bag, him or Alonso because of Italy-Ferrari, this will boost him motivationally...
    Mercedes I reckon will be around the 4/5 place mark.
