Lewis Hamilton took the win at the Italian Grand Prix, recovering from a troubled start that saw him fall back to fourth after the first lap. Nico Rosberg finished in second place while former Ferrari driver Felipe Massa takes his first ever podium for Williams.
I never had much time for Mark when he was racing but this interview proved to me he's a guy with class in the personality department. He summed up the Nico/ Lewis debacle beautifully and he never once fell for the obvious Vettel baiting questions and answered them so logically and accurately without taking any cheap shots or saying anything controversial as I'm sure the commentators were hoping for. Much respect.
Generally I don't care about what people say. I have to be clear with myself. When everything goes well, people celebrate you, when you make mistakes people criticize you.

Guys, I'm going to ask everybody to keep it friendly, no matter what happens during the race.
The last couple of races were littered with controversies. Everybody has rightfully their own opinion about such things when they happen. Nothing wrong there, but it often got downhill when some people felt they needed to go personal on someone else his comments.
The last few topics also were dominated by some random drivers called I believe Purpleberg and Hamilfun. While everybody is free to comment on whichever driver they want, please also try to make an effort on other drivers. We have 22 drivers fielded, it isn't hard to find something to talk about those others.
Anyone who's caught bickering, insulting or trying to instigate will be punished. This a warning I'll only make once.

Lol.
I think everyone in the pack would like a clean start to the race. However, I am sure at least one driver will have to take to the polystyrene chicane. Any bets on which?
If Rosberg pulls of one of his trademark starts Hamilton will be off into the distance. Both will be hoping for clean getaways tho, considering the axe murderers lurking just behind
Education is that which allows a nation free, independent, reputable life, and function as a high society; or it condemns it to captivity and poverty.

A McLaren, no doubt.
Thank you really doesn't really describe enough what I feel. - Vettel

The Williams tend to get fantastic starts, could be a very interesting (and crowded) first corner xD
