Too bad it's in a Renault engine again, the same engine in the car that killed Ayrton. But at least he is not driving for Williams.
His remarks as reported after qualifying shows he's a very methodical driver. He talks about mistakes at specific places on the track other drivers make, so he knows it's all about putting together a perfect lap, and not about being daring or a showman.

Good luck Brunno!!
But he does have his job cut out, the Saubers and his team
mate will be all over him.
Btw... Shumi just can't get a break.

Disappointed to see JB & crew FU quali. Maybe Vettel will not run away with the win, the red cars and macca have been giving him some competition.
Hoping for changing whether conditions for more interesting race but I think
forecast is for no rain. 5 hours to go before race.

Hamilton finally admitted it was 100% his fault.
There goes another 5% of next year's potential sponsorship money for McLaren. They must be getting used to coming second as constructors every year.
Look at how flat the rear wing is on the Sauber. It's amazing they can still go around corners with it set like that.

Race results are disappointing. I still put my money on Fred for 2nd, but any chance on the team finishing the year strong seem to be fading away.

Again, Jenson shown what he's got. If the team didn't screw up on his qualifying, he had a shot of winning it.
MS did a fantastic job!

Great race overall , Sergio got a penalty not nice...
Kamui's race ruined thanks to Lewis , amazing start, was awesome seeing Rosberg taking first place .
Amazing race by button and schummy .

BBC showed all of Jenson's passes during the race and they looked magnificent. Remember: this is Spa. It's a very fast circuit. It takes a top notch driver to do those passes at such speeds. Maybe that's why Spa is the first race after the summer break.
Next year we might see Jenson vs. Seb right down to the last race.

Sebestian Vettel = Jac Villenuve
Fernando Alonson = Mika Hakannan
Jenson Button = Alain Prost
Mark Webber = Gerhard Berger
Lewis Hamilton = Nigel Mansell
At least that's how I assets them.
A great season so far... It has been a while since I enjoy F1, other than the 2008 season watching Brawn GP.

Still this RB cars are fastest on grid,Mc Laren looked ok and Ferrari on soft tyres but others are long a way.Fernando is (like allways)my favourite for 2.
I expected more from Bruno.Hope that finally F cars will work good on Monza.

What about Webber's pass on Alonso!! 
Talk about commitment :biggrin:
You would think the electronics boffins at RB would be able to sort out his start gremlins by now surely??

So Bruno Senna will lose his seat when Kubica comes back?
Or will Vitaly go away?

Petrov will stay for sure (sponsor's,market...) to much interest's and $ in game.
Awesome job by Jenson Button! Hope he keeps it up and takes 2nd at least. He's got the most passes so far or something like that.
Another crap start by Webber?
pretty fishy...
Wish we could have seen a better result from Bruno Senna since he had a good qual.
Perez, shitty luck with the car again.

Love to see my boy JB take the fight to the grid like that (MSC too). Rosberg had a great start, but I suspect his crew told him to back off due to a engineering issue- that's the only explanation for taking off so fast and then giving the lead back to Seabass so easily. That, and the car looked like it was on fire at the start. 
What is up with Webber's starts this year?
Also, Lewis publicly apologized to Kamui today and took total responsibility for the crash. It seems he is starting to think more about his legacy than in past years.

Hamo payed a price in brain cells that day.He was out until the stewards tapped on his helmet,he took alot of G load hitting the wall.I like how Mercedes handles team orders....they told rosberg to short shift and cruise to save fuel allowing shumi to assume 5th without incident.
Agree on Hamilton passing out, I noticed that.
What would Mercedez win with Michael taking fifth from Rosberg ?

It's almost time for Monza!
It looks to be hot and dry this weekend. Will the F150 win it's home race during the unification celebration? Let's hope so.

Re: Help an old guy out here
What's that? A historical Italian deal? Or some inside perspective on F-1 racing? Maybe replacing Flippy with an actual Italian driver?

Re: Help an old guy out here
My understanding is the Italian GP is part of the celebration of Unification of the houses of Italy, every Septemeber. Since Italy evolved from the Roman Empire, it has never declared any "Indepenance" such as our 4th of July, Mexico's 16th of September, etc. But until the unification (which in classic Italian is debated), the various regions of Italy (except for Rome) completed unification around 1860, which isin't exactly 150 years ago, but Ferrari named this year's car the 150 in commemoration of the event. Italy became a republic in 1945 ish after WW2.
Massa's ancestors are Italian, so we all settle for having 1 driver + 1 test driver who are Italian. Of course, since the Roman empire at one time or another pretty much controlled the world, we're all decendents of Italy.:biggrin:

Hey maybe they could get young Daniel Ricciardo?? His father was born in Italy, and Daniel spent a couple of years racing in the lower formulae in Italy. They could do worse....................... :biggrin:
