one or two bad weekends for Michael and Massa becomes better than him.Great.i think you guys forgot what happened in Hungary,Massa was spinning and sliding around like a top.

The tyres will decide who wins the championship,but i think Monza will go to MS as it is a very fast circuit with 3 very long straights one full throtle curved straight and medium-slow corners,just the track that suits the ferrari.

Very true... This seems to be a Ferrari track... The Toyota's can also spoil things here.. they have a pretty strong engine and can put themselves in higher up the grid. The starting grid can be a mess!

As we would say in English...Ghee and Sugar in your mouth.

This could very well be a close one, esp. if MS decides he's gonna retire this season. Cuz after that he'll give it a 110% as hes not nutin elz to lose and so winning the WDC will come as a bonus.

With four races remaining, MS still has a chance to get that title if he finishes the rest of the races on top, with FA 3rd or lower. Still a possibility none the less, cuz FM would probably try to help both Ferrari and MS get the titles.

Having confirmed Giancarlo Fisichella as a 2007 race driver last June, Renault announced this morning that current test driver Heikki Kovalainen, 24, will race alongside him in 2007......THTS THE NEWS today...
comin to monza it feels like a MSC WIN is sure...but alonso might just spoil the party....massa should be in for a 3rd place finish here or probably top 5 at least.

sujaylahiri · 7th September 2006, 03:33

According to me

Alonso
Kimster
Schumacher/Massa

Kimi on pole.. Kimi all da way !!!!

karthik247 · 9th September 2006, 20:43

Should be a very intresting race...All that matters at the moment is where MS and FA finish.

Alsonso summoned by race stewards

Anybody who saw the qualifying session can see that Alonso was way ahead of Massa. despite being on a flying lap, Massa was unable to catch up with Fonsi. there is no queation of Fonsi blocking him. Massa is just trying to put his poor lap (3rd sector is where he threw it away) on Alonso.
P.S. I am a Kimi fan, and a Massa adorer, which basically puts my above view in a non-biased manner.

karthik247 · 9th September 2006, 23:58

Woohoo!!!! This is turning out to be one damn good weekend...
Haha.....Fonsi ..

Fonsi pushed to 10th on the grid

sujaylahiri · 10th September 2006, 02:19

Alonso was penalised 5 place by the stewards for blocking Massa. So now he starts 10th.

MSC and Massa will be jumping with joy.

danlalan · 10th September 2006, 02:33

WHAT IF KIMI DOES WIN(WHICH IS a HIGHLY HIGLY VERY HIGHLY HIGHLY IMPOSSIBLE) he will be spoiling the whole italian post race party for ferrari;...but all the best kimi...uve managed to screw up most of the races so far...hope you dont screw this one up.

karthik247 · 10th September 2006, 09:03

Now just waiting for a repeat of what happened at the last GP. A crash down the order at Turn1 putting Fonsi in the wall..

Since BMW, McLaren, Ferrari etc. look very strong and fast, making up places will be tough for anyone.

Ferrari fans rejoice...You guys know it was not fair. Massa couldn't even see FA in front of him, let alone being blocked.

Looks like Ferrari really can't do without help from race officials.

Hope you have one less excuse if Ferrari do not do well this weekend.
