I picked Hamilton. The McLaren seems to be fast on the lower downforce circuits except when there are lots of combination turns, like in sector 2 at Spa. I see them to rebound again here, and be fast out of the chicanes using the KERS. Of course, I could be totally wrong.

I am going put a top 5 bet on Fisichella. He is going to be on cloud 9. Completely amped up and ready to show Ferrari that he deserves to be there. After his last showing at Spa - I think he will run fast.

Alonsette in the Ferrari will take the win.

Hey mods, Wayne has hacked another account again...

I voted for Hammy. On both polls...

McLaren hops the curbs the best and in Monza that's what counts.

Mark, your age is showing again. That won't happen until the year before next year.

Monza kerb change good news for Brawn
08 September 2009


Formula One governing body the FIA has revealed that larger kerbs have been installed to deter drivers from cutting chicanes at Monza. The new installations, similar to those in Barcelona and the Nürburgring, should help the championship-leading Brawn cars which ride kerbs worse than rivals.






With Brawn GP hoping to limit damage to its championship leads against the six KERS cars at Monza this weekend, Team Principal Ross Brawn spoke of the ability to ride the kerbs ahead of the 80th Grand Prix at the legendary venue.




Ross Brawn, Brawn GP team owner
"The aerodynamic efficiency of the car is crucial so we have a specific package designed to minimise drag levels and achieve the high top speeds required," he explained. "Good engineering can make a significant difference at Monza so we'll be working hard to get the car set up well to allow our drivers to be aggressive over the kerbs."

What Ross didn't know at that point, however, was that modifications have been made to the Rettifilo and Roggia chicanes which sees the 'combination kerbs' placed on the apexes of the corners; any car which does cut the corner, therefore, will almost certainly damage its front wing and floor.

But A Wayne said he would be in a Ferrari this year (and maybe last year, and certainly next year too).

I don't know who will win....whoever isn't killed by the high kerbs I guess. Have the FIA gone plum mad?

Why would McLaren hire another Rosberg? Because Davey Ryan and Ron Dennis are gone?

Why would Daimler want to buy into Brawn of all things? I dont get the business side of that decision.
