Hmmm, maybe Fisichella shouldn't have left Force India.

 

LOL ^^ but dont forget he has to learn the different controls in the Ferrari etc. That might take a race or two I would think???

Regardless, he will do better than whats his face.

 

There may not be a Force India team in the future with the current financial situation the team is in. Fisi knows better on that.

 

Great qualifying. The mercedes engine seems really nice on this track seeing how, hamilton, sutil, luzzi, and im not sure if kovalienen went on. Like always, Go FERARRI!!
Sucks for BMW having engine problems on both cars. Fisi first time in didnt do so bad i guess. But luzzi first time in force india pulled off a 7th. Only if Fisi never crashed during practiced then he might have made it to Q3

 

That was an interesting race. Looks like Brawn is back, I didn't think they would be this fast at Monza without KERS.

Only Button, Barrichello, Vettel, and Webber still have a chance of winning the world championship. Vettel and Webber are probably not going to catch up, so it is basically down to Button and Barrichello.

 

All I could keep thinking throughout the race was when I was there 11 years ago to the day watching MS and Irvine come in 1-2. That place is amazing. If you guys ever pick a European race to go to, pick this one.

 

So what happened to Hamilton?

He seemed to have spun so easily?

 

I think one of his wheels touched the outside curb and he lost control. Really stupid move. His mechanics must be thrilled with the "extra" work today.

 

...but it seemed like everyone was riding the curb

 

he more than touched it, he clobbered it and was a passenger from there on out.
