And another episode of Scuderia Screwup, where KR didn't have enough fuel to complete a final flying lap on a drying track, Seb ran out of battery, and Ferrari got the tires wrong so Lewis finished almost a second up on Seb and 3-PLUS seconds up on everybody else.......Enzo must be dying! Oh, wait...........

Unless the car breaks, Lewis in a cakewalk. If it rains, still Lewis. Max has lost his magic, and Button's gone

Few minutes till start....who will win the drag race?....Lewis or Sebastian? Will the pink Force India cars be able to stay up front during the race? How fast will Botas come through the field from 17th?

Ill say say living here in Florida...the cooler Belgium weather sure looks comfortable

I think Seb will win the drag race with at least 50% probability. Hehehe.
Don't despair too much about the weather, it's going to be in the 90s here the next few days.

I was surprised how long it took. I don't pretend to be an F1 safety car deployment expert but it was immediately obvious one was coming.

Bugger, it stayed dry and Vettel didn't fall off the road! From the look of it, Monza should be a good race for Ferrari.

It’s clear that Ferrari has the pace and Mercedes is just trying to keep up. Italy should be fun if someone other than Vettel gets the pole, otherwise it should be a simple cruise to the finish. Great win by Ferrari. Interesting that Hamilton out drives the field in the wet, now that’s some skill.

Ha, Hamilton looked a bit depressed after the dominance of Seb and the Ferrari. He knows they have little chance at Monza, and don't do well at Singapore. Seb will very likely be back leading the championship after the next two races.

If Ferrari wins at Monza the tofosi will go mental. Well more than the usual
