Italian GP 2009 - Monza

To add to that prediction I think the BMW's/Toyota's will be in a tangle as they seem to be a magnet for early incidents.

Alonso's start will be key to weather the Brawn's can get their heads down and make the 1 stop work - Alonso is light and has KERS off the line.

It's interesting to see McLaren are saying KERS can't work every lap fully. They can't recharge it enough. So, they can use 80% all the time or 100% then 60 then 100% then 60%...etc etc...if that is the same for all the KERS competitors then KERS could be more of a hinderance in the race, to building a cushion...it will still be a great overtake/defend system.

I can see both Brawn's on the podium for this one. IF RB's gearbox isn't changed and does hang together...there is a risk it's knackered from the fire last time out.

No gearbox change for Barrichello.

Barrichello confirmed on Sunday morning he told the team he does not wish to change his gearbox and perhaps take a bit of a gamble in today's Italian Grand Prix.

And start from the pitlane for Alguersuari.

Alguersuari will start from the pitlane. According to Toro Rosso the team removed a flap from the rear wing and a number of other minor changes to Alguersuari's car. Alguersuari qualified himself in 20th for the Italian Grand Prix.

Webber and Kubica tangle and we see a meat ball for Kubica. Its been a long time that I have seen that.

[zgred]

Lots of action so far


Even Black Orange Flag for Kubica

[Shrek]

What's the meatball(black and orange) flag mean?

[zgred]

Black and Orange Flag

The black flag with the orange circle indicates that a driver must go to the pits immediately. The car number is displayed next to the flag.

The black flag with the orange circle is used when race officials believe there is a mechanical problem with the car that needs to be checked before the driver can continue in the race.

Liuzzi out with gear box failure. A real shame considering his race position at his come back. Liuzzi was sensational. I never thought he was that good. Hat off to the guy!

[jon-mullen]

Look at Vettel doing personal bests in P10, he should be saving that engine.

Edit: nevermind, he might get back in the points...

Good work Hamilton! Epic fail. =D>

[modbaraban]

Are FIA going to investigate Hamilton desperately crashing to help Sutil get a podium chance?

[Giblet]

Good work Hamilton! Epic fail. =D>

Revel in others failure. Classy.

@modbaraban I was thinking the exact same sarcastic thing. Some kind of love bond.

[zgred]

LOL - wrong way on the last lap...

[Super racing]

Looks like he may have had a tire go down because he caught the spin with the steering wheel, but it did not respond, but man was he pushing.

[joseff]

What was Trulli thinking? Not comfortable when not at the head of a train, eh?

Thanks I do my best Good on him for trying but it wasn't really achievable but if you don't try you never know. Pity for Liuzzi with the gearbox/clutch issue as he was doing well and Heikki poor start, poor race
