F1 returns for back-to-back Race weekends in arriving in Monza, Italy for the running of the Italian GP. With it's very long straightaway's, the DRS might play a big factor in the outcome of the Race.

Given how strong Button was in Belgium, I wouldn't be surprised if he pulls out another win, especially considering he's got 3 2nd place finishes on the bounce at Monza.

Sutil and Hulkenberg are supposed candidates to replace Massa in the second Ferrari seat. Hulkenberg has supposedly already signed an agreement with Ferrari, and Sutil (who was convicted of a bar fight with Eric Lux, the Renault Lotus owner) has said he has the ability to consistantly score points and feels he matches the criteria for Ferrari.

That would be pretty neat. I would love button to go on a winning streak from now on, snatch the title and run off with it.(unfortunately it's not that simple)

I'm honestly surprised by both names, Sutil kind of fell of the face of the earth and Hulkenberg has done good....but i'm surprised Ferrari's considering him. Honestly though Perez would be all but confirmed for Massa's seat.

Considering Montezemolo was railing against Perez for not being experienced enough, I highly doubt they'd take Hulkenberg first, when he has the same level of experience, and really hasn't made much of an impression until the last few races. Sutil is a definate maybe though; obviously he'd jump at the chance of a Ferrari seat, even if it's only for a year, and he did an admirable job for Force India. He'd be a pretty good stop-gap measure until Montezuma's happy with Perez.

I hear Vettel had technical issues in 3rd practice, I think he lost battery power or something.

Yeah but he's been out of the top 10 all weekend, and last week he didn't make Q3. The mid year did not do RBR wonders.

Okay race.

Hamilton makes all the British people wet their pants. Perez gets close again but just had too much time to make up in too little laps...Really want to see him win for Sauber before Ferrari tries to get him.

Red Bull falls to pieces faster then a Torro Rosso suspension break and nice racing overall.

Hamilton was pacing himself to the end of the race, same as what Button did in Belgium a week ago. If there were 5 more laps Hamilton would've gone a bit faster to accomodate for that. No point pushing really hard if you're not going to be threatened.

He wasn't going to beat Hamilton.
He was closing the at a pretty decent pace. But it's another case of what could've been/we'll never know.

Hamilton was pacing himself to the end of the race, same as what Button did in Belgium a week ago. If there were 5 more laps Hamilton would've gone a bit faster to accomodate for that. No point pushing really hard if you're not going to be threatened.

Additionally, at the pace Perez was running I would doubt the tyres could last another 5 laps

If anyone's interested, there's a video here showing the Vettel/Alonso incidents in 2011 and 2012 side-by-side.

I think Vettel left much less space. I work for the owner of Red Bull, so you can't (technically) call me bias..
