Don't think so. Gearbox and under more special conditions - engine change lead to a penalty.

No. THey can change broken parts like for like as long as the FIA give permission (and they will).

He should not be if they change with an identical part.

A big threat to whoever goes into the first corner side by side with him... yes.

Some wishfull thinking, but the championship would look damn good if they finish in that order. It would slingshot both Hamilton and Button back into contention.

FI always looks great in the qualy but they have had poor tyre degradation (just look at the German GP) and may be they won't be able to match a 1 stop strategy which most of the teams are expecting to do .

The trick to win the race this year in Monza is to have enough tyres grip at the last 10 laps relatively to move up the grid .

This year the MACCA have good top end speed 340kmph so I don't expect other to overtake them if they have good tyre grip even the Merc this year have only 337kmph on the limiter .

Oh boy I want a Massa win tomorrow (to put an end to Ferrari seat for next year he is a good 2nd driver yielding to Alonso in qualy ,pratice and race and what more do you want from a 2nd driver) .

The first Renualt powered car in RB8 which is really surprising because I always though that the E20 will be significantly quicker to RB , I have to give it to Vettel for that excellent lap to get amongst one MERC which has atmost 50bhp advantage (the engine + KERS difference) . =D>

Vettel 6th , I won't say Lucky i'll just say Damage Control Mode.. It could be Worse with his short Gearing I do Believe he has got a chance , especially in the first stint
Seems that Fernando's Luck is betraying him :(( but no Doubt he will make a decent race as usual !
So Mclaren got this..It will be interesting to see the start everything can happen , just look year's strike and last weekend's catastroph , I expect the Mclaren to be on a league of their own following Spa's Performance
Also Great Effort By Felipe ! :) Why Not a Podium ! ( He has Always great Starts btw )
The task is,not so much to see what no one has yet seenbut to think what nobody has yet thought, about that which everybody sees. Erwin Schrödinger

Ferrari starts are most often than not, quite monstrous.

if lewis' clutch fails yet again, Massa will be right up his backside.

Only Hamilton seems to have a problem racing alongside Massa. The inverse is not true.

In the race it will be a very different story! The reason they could have 340kmh top speed is due to the DRS but in the race they don't and also if they manage to get through the 1st corner retaining their position they could be overtaken on the long straight by the car behing due to the strip stream of the car

One unrelated question: Since the main garages are occupied by Formula 1 teams, where are the garages for GP2 teams, if both events are held together during the same weekend on the same track?

Thank you for the answer. :)

You want a number 2 driver to score points consistently, taking points off Alonso's rivals. I am a big Massa fan (as you can tell), but Ferrari could pay me 10 million euros to yield to Alonso in prac, qualy and the race if that was all they needed!
