2014 Italian GP - Monza, September 5-7

Ricciardo with renault 362 km/h ???? Lol

Yer, still not convinced with this 'engine freeze'. A quoted 60-80bhp defecit by horner, yet faster than bottas with the same rear wing? I call BS

P.s hahahah vettel, ricciardo is owning this guy!

Yup.
Vettel kills off his rear tyres. He was the first of the top ten to pit. Ricciardo was the last to pit. In the same car.
What helps Vettel in Qualifying hurts him in the race. He still can't adapt to the new Generation of cars.

The strategy Vettel and the team chose was stupid. I just can't see why he pitted so early. He's made the tyres last as long as anyone today and the early pit cost him dearly..

It was at most around 60hp during testing. Now AMuS reckon between 15/25 bhp difference at most.
The difference is the ERS, which is changing race to race allegedly.

Congrats to Lewis... good win.

Think the crowd quite like the fact that Massa will be up there.

[zeph]

Massa FTW! If only to give Ferrari the finger on their home turf.

GO MASSA!
I bet 3rd in Monza feels like a win today! And it certainly is a big fat finger to Ferrari, especially with Alonso's first retirement of the season!

Massa as useless as ever

Whatever.


I thought Perez drove a terrific race today. As did Vettel, even if he got his ass handed to him by Ricciardo. But if anybody showed up his teammate today, it was Hamilton! After Rosberg's mistake he quickly established a 4s lead and comfortably held it.

[gray41]

Should be a pretty good podium reaction.

Mercedes Benz power!!!!

Mass a is useless. He's been destroyed by the guy with the least single seater experience on the grid.

Really? What I seem to remember is that he has a LOT of bad luck this season.

Looked like the NR LH battle was fixed

So many overtakes, Daniel is one hell of a street fighter. Super recovery from Lewis after an awful start, for Nico it was a missed opportunity but he simply wasn't fast enough. The gap now down to 22.

Indeed it was stupid, knowing that he uses his tyres more heavily than Ricciardo to pit him that early and to force him into such a long second stint. His tyres were completely gone at the end of the race. He lost more than 8s on Ricciardo in 4 laps.

Rosbergs Problems seemed to have disappeared after a few slower laps. Seems Merc still has an Achilles heel somewhere which they hit from time to time. Brake Temperatur? Or ERS temperature? Since it seems they can't finally solve it once and forever I tend to assume the latter.

I am with you on that. They screwed up Lewis' start, just to make sure he fights with Nico. Otherwise, Lewis would have disappeared in distance without any entertainment.

[Shrieker]

Rosberg looks too happy for second...

Hhhhaahhh, the big evil Empire...
