1st lap should be interesting - it looks to be a very fast start and those walls should create a vacum effect for great tow.

McLaren have confirmed that former Team Principal Martin Whitmarsh has finally left the company. ​Joining McLaren in 1989, Whitmarsh was at the helm from 2009 until January this year, when former team boss Ron Dennis was re-appointed as Group CEO. A settlement has now been finalised, however, with a McLaren spokesman confirming on Tuesday that "McLaren and Martin Whitmarsh have agreed amicably to part company”. After his return, Dennis promised a “thorough and objective review” of McLaren, who have struggled in recent seasons and are without a victory since Jenson Button’s success at the 2012 Brazilian GP. With Dennis deciding that the Team Principal role no longer applies to F1, McLaren instead appointed Eric Boullier as Racing Director with Jonathan Neale the CEO of McLaren Racing. The team, who currently stand fifth in the Constructors’ Championship, are set to renew their title-winning partnership with engine supplier Honda next season.
Vettel is going to get his third new chassis in Monza as they try to work out why he's struggling so much. Team say he was a net 0.9s a lap slower than Ricciardo in Spa.
Colin Kolles is involved at Caterham, well, they're in safe hands then Feel desperately sorry for Frijns, someone on the F1 grid must want him, surely?
How does Kolles keep getting employed? He's proven time and again that he's unfit to run a team. I hear Martin Whitmarsh is now available, would have been a good move in hindsight....
Apparently at Spa he was on average 0.9s a lap slower than Ricciardo. There'd better have been a fault in the chassis!
All hail our new prophet. I think Vettel's season was summarised perfectly by the way that within the space of about five laps he went from making a rash move on Hamilton to being easily overtaken by his team-mate at the exact same corner.
I can't remember the last time a reigning world champion got so comprehensively beaten by a team mate the following season.
You could make a good shout for both Button in 2010 and Raikkonen in 2008, but both of those were with experienced team-mates... this would be like Massa joining Ferrari and immediately upstaging Schumacher.
