   Poor Kartikeyan, outqualifying his teammate, only to find Maldonado behind!

   As a dedicated FI fan, I am saddened by the bad luck. Anyway, Paul has a good chance to end up in top 6, if the race is planned well.

   Ferrari had technical problem, let’s not start the theory of Massa doing it on purpose. Alonso could have had the pole but I’m sure he will have a nice race maybe even a podium. I hope Massa would take some points away to HAMILTON. iNTERESTING GP coming up

   Everyone keeps going one and one about Alonso’s bad luck, but the way I see it it would have been an issue only if it had happened tomorrow in the race

   There are going to be a lot of hot points in tomorrow’s race, based on what happened on track in the last couple of days.

   Ferrari trying to keep, respectively get McLaren in sight with Red Bull and Lotus closely following; Force India taking on Mercedes; Sauber trying to conserve tyres and make a one stopper work. Plus, I expect the whole heap of mechanical issues and mistakes we’ve seen on track in practice and quali to take their toll as well.

   I must say I’m also a bit dissapointed with D’Ambrosio’s performance. I mean, I expected him to be quite far behind Raikkonen, but not that far. Struggling and barely getting into Q2 is a bit of an underperformance in that car, to be honest.

     Monza is a bit unfair to be your first race weekend, scary track the way they trim these cars

   I genuinely feel bad for both the Force India’s. I mean they are amazingly fast. Without Nico being down with that issue,it would definitely be tough for Vettle to go into the Q3. He was on the margin. I hope atleast the Force India can manage some good position with the strategy and the race pace(specially with Nico).

   Personally I think Lewis has diddily-squat chances of winning tomorrow because…
   1. He’s not in the zone mentally
   2. He has a in form teamate next to him, with slightly better race pace
   3. He has the pressure of knowing that he cocked it up the last time he was on pole at Monza
   4. He’s under immense pressure, a driver under pressure is more likely to mess up the start or make a mistake at another point during the race
   …so, I think Button already has one hand on the winner’s trophy.

       Well I hope you’re right because he has a great chance to close up the championship.
