            I would have taken Webber for podium if it was $1.80 or better.

                        Pretty straightforward race, they need to do a better job of DRS next year.

                          Dont think DRS is the solution for passing here. Wings are too tiny to start with for it to ever make enough difference.

                          I was surprised just how little of it there was though.


                          Maybe extra KERS allocation n that section would work if they have enough charge for that.

                            every race ive watched has been a snoozer..leader just never gets challenges for racing

                            qualifying might as well be the actual race most of time, at least up front

                            but im seeing a very small sample size also so could be totally mistaken here

                              Yeah, you'd have to be a purist to get inspired by that one.

                              The next race in Singapore in 2 weeks is a high downforce setup track which should bring the red bulls back to the field.

                                I still have to say there is something special about just watching F1 cars go around Monza though. I can't even tell you what it is exactly. Partly that it's so tough to make a perfect lap on and the history of the place come into it. But for me the cars always look the most exciting going hard there compared to almost any other track. Suzuka is similar too.

                                  i could not believe i left the TV on after the race when the top 3 were on the podium and that crowd was just going crazy...ferrari banners and flags, people just going nutz for nothing at all!

                                  was pretty cool to see just how passionate the F1 fans are about their sport...gotta love the intensity of it all

                                    The Italians are a little bit extra nuts than everyone else. But your right, that mad 'Tifosi' crowd (Ferrari fans) is probably another big part of what makes Monza special, passing or not.

                                      Im not a huge fan of the DRS to begin with but could def have worked to help with overtaking I think. Biggest problem was the activation point was too late.

                                      For example the DRS zone on the front straight, they were only allowed to use it from the S/F line, which isnt enough time to get the move down. If they were allowed to activate from pretty much the exit of Parabolica, then there would have been heaps of passing.

                                      Not sure how exciting that would be though...

                                        It is a pretty bad year for racing at the front of the grid. Vettel has just been too dominant but the racing has been pretty good behind him IMO.

                                        There will never be a heap of passing though, it is just not that kind of racing. Especially when you are used to a very different type of motorsport.

                                        As Opti said, Monza is really special for a lot of fans. Personally, there could have been zero passing moves in that race and I still would have been very happy just watching them lap around Monza. F1 can be more a test of man/machine vs track than actual 'racing' and Monza is an example of that I think.

                                            And soon after, Massa confirmed as out of Ferrari.

                                            What's the odds Alonso is gone by 2015 too?

                                              Its exciting news isnt it. Explains all the Alonso/Ferrari tension the last few weeks.

                                                Yeah, will throw some extra interest into next year for sure.

                                                As 'calm' as Fred has been since joining the red team, he sure reverted back to the old toys outa the pram type act quickly. His head will explode if Kimi beats him in Australia.

                                                    That's interesting difference.

                                                    I'm still liking merc for both...

                                                      I'm not sure if it helps us much unfortunately. After thinking about it for too long I could make a case that each one of the main three are value for one or the other. LOL

                                                        I do like the Lewis win +410 the best though.

                                                        Thinking I might sink the last of my betfair balance into that and hope he poles it so i can sell out straight after quali.

                                                        probably 'hedge' that with a Vettel pole and be a good chance of cashing both actually, if I had more funds.
