With temperatures expected in the high 20's, rain has been predicted for the race from some sources.

Well done to Rubens.
He might be running abit less fuel but either way, its always good to be in clear space at Monza.

This track with the high speed really suits Juan and Sato likes revving his car out so both drivers should have a good race.

Michael is going to have to watch Alonso off the start.
We all know the Renaults can fly and he is directly behind him.

Can't wait for the race!

yep should be an interesting race with BMW and McLaren getting their acts together.

I think both McLarens are going to be a big puff of smoke!
Along with Buttons and Webbers car!

Engine failure will be high in my opinion!

Go the Honda's

yeh Monza will certainly test there reliability with the engines working so hard being at 100% throttle for more than half the race, it will be interesting to see how they cope. Latest weather reports say it has been raining since 8:30 this morning and no sign of clearing up. Stewards and teams will have to consider what set-up changes will be alowed for the race if it is still raining in the afternoon.

MY COUSIN JUST RANG ME FROM MONZA!!!
Lucky prick!
The cars sounds so nice....
He didn't tell me any race results (thank GOD)

I wish i could be there!!!

damn that would be nice right now, countdown is getting lower, 39 minutes now!! How did he say the weather was?

Well, I was hoping tonight we would see a sight not seen for a long time... Looms like we'll have to leave the HONDA WINS thread title for another race - it was looking good for a while....

lol seemed likely after that first lap disaster, Ferrari still keeping their dominance.
