Italian GP Race day

[Tension_36th]

A perfect stop saves Alonso the race win after button sped past as expected. Button didnt have the gap when he needed to make sure he got out ahead. He was on the back foot all the time in the lead. Good driving from Button for not making mistakes under pressure.

Alonso would have been much ahead if he had kept the lead they have the 0.3sec advantage in the first sector a bit weak in S2 and then close in S3.

Massa drove right into Shamilton's path, but he got away because it will be put down as a first lap incident. Massa wouldn't have looked in his mirrors as it was not intentional.

The fail of the race is the FIA for not penalizing that bastard Nico Hulkenberg cutting the chicane 3 times and never punished. Thats just bullshit. He even gained an advantage preventing webber from making a legitimate overtaking move. But webber pulled a brilliant move to overtake the dirty fart. Hulkenberg drives worse than shamilton.

Vettel pulled a amazing stint to make a big comeback. And the pitstop was a masterstroke of a call they saw guys are holding up behind him and they capitalized. The softs proving to last the whole race albeit under careful driving of Vettel.

Team orders at Redbull:

No message from the team

Vettel lets Webber through then comes on the radio

Vettel: Got a problem with engine.

And then he is back on the pace. It was clear it was an internal agreement between them that if one can't overtake the guy in front and they are together, then after a number of laps they swap places and let the other guy have a go before. Possibly swapping back if that doesn't work out for the other guy or not, we don't know about that last part. But the first few aspects are very obvious.

VAMOSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS Fernando!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congratulation!

I think the Stewards should do their works! N.Hulken was cutting the chicane 3 times and yet they decided no action on it? Come on....

LOL Vettel/Webber pass.... engine prob? or indirectly team order? but anyway good stop from them.

Yes for once the Ferrari pit crew beat Mclaren think they were 1.5 sec faster then the Mclaren boys so often its the other way around.

Fantastic Fernando! Congratulations!

FIA not penalizing Hulkenberg in the race are clear attempts to engineer a close title fight to the last race. Someone must assassinate these worms at FIA one by one. Only then these worms will learn not to fix races.

EXCELLENT FERNANDO!!! BRAVISSIMO! (I know it is italian, not spanish, but whatever. ) At last a great pit stop at that Ferrari chaos and at last some luck for Fernando! Although he didn't have a good start and he spent so many laps behind Button, he made it after the pit stops. I have to say that when he left the pits I was holding my breath whether he would pass or not. It was sooo close with Button! Luckily he made it!! Well done to Fernando and Ferrari!
P.S.1. Ham... There is something called brakes?? If you know them...
P.S.2. Vettel.... Engine problem?? Yeah sure.... That is how ''Webber approaching-let him pass'' is called now. ''Engine problem!'' Nice thinking of Red Bull though, I have to admit.

[Tension_36th]

Redbull say its a brake issue, more like brakes locking up thats what promoted Vettel to think there is an engine issue. This could be true. But its strange how Vettel felt it could be an engine issue.

Also its hard to co-ordinate when to let through and when not to, especially since it happened on the super fast Ascari bend. Not an easy or safe place to stage a swap. Its best to do it under braking more easy and safer. Plus it is not practical to rely on drivers to know when they should move over because they will feel they always have a chance on the very next lap.

I have to revise my assertions, it doesn't look like a team order or any internal agreement.

well done alonso
redbull seems to have many issues with the engine

Admins and Mods can take to the streets to start begging then.

[Chrissie]

Perhaps we could try have a chat with Ferrari...I'm sure they would be interested in this new development too

[icegirljenni]

Then i shall send you to convince them then, what do you think Chrissie? You have confident to deal with Ferrari crew right?

[alonso 4ever]

[WiTcH]

hahaha! I think that Chrissie and everyone's wishes in here made him win! So yes! For the next five races we need someone to be there.
