    Hammy 1st.
    Sutil 2nd.
    Kimi 3rd.

    Honestly though you can tell if they will make it or not.

    If they are coming out of the parabolica (however its spelled) around 1:19-1:20, they need another 2.5 seconds to cross the line.

    I agree but the F60 is not the class of the field by any standard.

    Yeah well, Liuzzi hasn't been really racing in the F.India lately, and look how he does

    the F60 is an horrible f1 car and no need to look to anyother reason.

    What annoys me about Fisichella is the way he always has 1000 excuses when things don't go too well.

    I think Fisichella did pretty well, all things considering. Hopefully he can get into a good groove for the race and make up some serious ground. Personally, I'm keeping my fingers crossed for both cars in the points and Raikkonen on the podium at least.

    Given Button's fuel load (Brawn said they were one-stopping?!), I'd say he's probably going to win tomorrow providing he keeps out of danger during the start.

    All the best,
    Andrew.

    Absolutely, if it sounded like I was saying the F60 was anything special, I didn't mean it that way. The F60 is a wreck and I was saying I give Fisi credit for not being dead last in an unfamiliar car that isn't up to snuff.

    I think that was a great session for Ferrari. Great job by both drivers, not bad for Fisi considering all things.

    I really think Kimi has finally woken up. It's so nice to see his name leading the Q1 and Q2 sessions every now and then at Monza. I really think Kimi can go for the win now tomoro.

    I figured that Ross' cars were heavy. Just too fast in 2nd session to drop that much in Q3...will be interesting to see.

    RB outqualifies Jenson again...where is Vettel? I feel a six pack of beer coming on from a wager with another fchatter!!!! LOL :p:p:p

    In all honesty, Fisi would have been at least in Sutil's place at P2 for quali if he had stayed, but I understand what a dream it is for anyone, especially an Italian, to race for Ferrari.

    And Fisi was only a few tenths behind Kimi in Q2, not like he was a boat anchor like BADoer. :eek:

    I'm pretty happy with that. Kimi and Lewis both have KERS so should be a drag race to the first corner, BUT Kimi will have a slipstream too. Can't wait for tomorrow now.

    I'm so glad BADoer is history and Fisico in the Ferrari.

    It appears we are continuing to get a true sense of how hard it is to drive the F60. Kimi continues to show how talented he is and what he can do with a crap car that can at least get the tires up to temp...compared to last years car. ;) IMO, motivation has never been the problem with Kimi...it's obviously the car. Fisi did very well all things considered. He should be able to bring home some points. Excellent job by Sutil! Would love to see him on the podium!

    FORZA!!

    Clint can't it be a bit of both? Too many times I've seen Kimi "come alive" to accept that he gives it 100% at all times.
    In any case I don't think that we need any more evidence that this year's car is not up to par.

    Yeah, everyone from 5th on the grid to 10th are on a 1-stopper. It's a question of how long the guys up front can stay out and how much of a gap they can create. Hamilton's car is equal to the Brawns in speed, so he can certainly still claim victory if his strategy plays out. Kimi was about .5 slower in Q2, so he'll be harder pressed to come up with anything.

    The equalizer could be rain tomorrow...it could completely destroy the 1-stop strategy. I'm pulling for Rubens to win the WDC so I hope he comes out alright (not that I don't like Jensens, I just don't like how Brawn took victory chances away from Rubens earlier in the season. Him winning it all would be poetic justice)

    EDIT: no rain in the forecast tomorrow. Rain Saturday and Monday, but perfect conditions in the Sunday forecast.

    Unless Fisi crashes just after Kimi's pit stop and the safety car comes out;)
