The Official Not606 Italian GP Chat & Predictions

Huzzah somebodys name is missing from the list!...... meh

 

I wish the people who picked Vettel all the best. There's no denying his talent, but there is no way his ability will overcome the cars straight line speed issues. Best bet would be McLaren, Ferrari, or if brave like me, Mercedes.

 

Well the weather for Saturday is looking like heavy thunderstorms...

I'm not convinced about the DRS zone just after lesmo 2. I can't see many overtakes happening there.

If the drivers are clever, they will make their overtakes on the pit straight because it gives them a better chance of building a 1 second gap in time for the next DRS zone.

 

Apparently DRS wont have much of an effect anyway as the teams will have very little rear wing

 

Exactly.

I don't mean to put a downer on things and I am open to being proved wrong but isn't predicting Rosberg and Schumacher wins little more than wishful thinking? and isn't ruling Red-Bull out of the win by saying its between McLaren and Alonso being unrealistic?

 

Great sig Max.

 

I think over the last couple of years most people have learnt not to rule Red Bull out. Newey always seems to be one step ahead of the game.

 

I've predicted a merc win using my logic, which this season has been 0% succesful. My logic this time suggests that the mercedes straight line speed would come in very handy, and, as monza is a series of straights, with only a few corners, mercedes should have an advantage.

 

Well I will stick my neck out here and rule Red Bull out. At Spa they still had sector two to compensate for sectors one and three, I also believe Hamilton could of won if he had not crashed and Button could of also won if Mclaren had not of mucked up his qualifying. Red Bull were also able to trim of a lot of their downforce because they inherently have so much, however at Monza every team will be doing that anyway.

 

If Vettel wins then I will have no complaints. I'm going to stick out my neck and say no Red Bull on the podium however.

1.Button
2.Alonso
3.Hamilton

 

lewis will qualify in second place and finish atleast second.

 

Cheers, AG. It came to me in the dentist's chair for some reason

 

I have failed to predict a single race correctly so far but this seems the most likely scenario to me, in no particular order.

 

D'Ambrosio, Glock and Chandock not doing too well. Looks like Ricciardo may score some points in the ol' sweepstake

 

I wish. Chandhok stole it away from me!

 

Come on 'fess up. Who was it that said Mercedes might win here? LOL. Do I have to read back and find you?
