Thank you for the answer. :)
They usually have tent-like garages somewhere in the back and during the race they take the space in front of the F1 teams' garages for the pit stops. Same goes for GP3.

On-topic: Massa!

In Monaco they are even working on underground parking lot. (at least they were before the new paddock)


What about Massa? Given the F2012 performance it would have been disappointing to see him slower. Alonso would have been at least 4 tenth faster if his car didn't broke.

How many times has Kimi made a mistake on his Q3 lap? Seems to be a regular occurance.

Massa wipes the Maccas into the first corner, problem solved.

I will start Karthikeyan-to-Mercedes campaign for 2013... They both seem all-right, just don't like the corners!

And Alonso should know better than being on track near Massa at Monza- remember when he got a penalty for blocking?

Massa is surely desperate these days ,so don´t expect him to be very approachable.But he actually did race very well recently so thanks smedley I don´t expect him to do silly things.
Mercedes seems to have lost all the edge they had with starting this year (maybe due to the weak gearbox internals?)
Kobayashi hás heard the message from his boss as well to deliver not to crash .
I have the feeling we will see no mayhem tomorrow in the first braking zone.Later -maybe ..

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 )
Vettel will get eaten alive before lap 5. There is no way he is pulling away when he is sandwiched, he doesn't have the dragless EBD anymore... his DF to drag compromise is just the same like any other car now.

Naah.. It is Monza, Ferrari homeland. If anything happens to one of Alonso's opponents, he will be duly rewarded.
Monza can even secure a 2013 contract with Ferrari if he strikes both Macca :mrgreen:

I agree, he's going to get mugged. Definitely by Rosberg and co for sure.
