    The Monza race didn't disappont - a pleasing result for Ferrari P2 and 4 at their home race but Vettel looks to be running away with the WDC which they're only too aware of. F138 looking competitive, at least, as it did in Spa. Some critised Ferrari leaving Alonso out too long before pitstop but there's no guarantee he'd have won anyway, although both Vettel and Webber had gearbox issues (hence Webber couldn't overtake Alo).

     

    The shouts of 'Alonso' from the Tifosi were something else....no other fans in the world get behind their driver/team quite like they do. They also boo (Vettel in this case) like no other fans. :LOL:

     

    Lewis drove a blinding race.....edge of the seat stuff to move up like he did after not qualifying.

     

    Massa himself announced last night he would not be at Ferrari next season and Kimi to Ferrari was finally officially confirmed by Ferrari today.....at last. Two strong drivers/personalities together (which could prove v. interesting!) So excited for next season. :cool:

    A magnificant race - action packed as it usually is. Driver of the day for me was Fernando.....9th to 2nd some achievement on a track like Spa. :cool:

     

    So pleased the Greenpeace protesters who parachuted in for the occasion didn't ruin things. (You may not know what I'm on about if you don't have Sky!)

    Yes, 'silly season' as it's rightly called. Stefano has said he wants Felipe to stay but will be dependent on his results in the remaining races. So much gossip the last few weeks - one report that Seb will go to Ferrari and Alo to RBR (really can't see that happening). I'd quite like to see Kimi back at Ferrari - what a strong team him and Alo would make (although can't see him seamlessly slotting into No.2 driver slot), probably why Luca is said not to be keen on the idea. So many other drivers named as contenders for Felipe's seat - JEV or possibly Bianch would be my choice if not Kimi

    Well, Ferrari are traditionally very good at Spa - they're confident, hoping they'll be strong in both qualifying and the race. The tyre changes have proved a challenge (both themselves and Lotus were main teams who didn't want them) but if you look at Hungary, their pace was pretty good but weren't where they wanted to be on both soft and medium tyres. The tyre changes that went ahead hurt Ferrari and they know the importance of how to react, because the structure of these tyres is until the end of the season.

    Stefano was quoted as saying "Then a lot will depend on the choice of compounds for the races at the end of the season. It is something we need to analyse carefully - as it seems Mercedes has solved the issue that it was suffering massively in the races."

    Right so hear we go again this weekend so who do fancy for the win Vettel or Hamilton or maybe even Kimmi ???

    Answers on a post card .!!

    Have Ferrari and Alonso lost the plot ?

     

    Kimi probable as won four times at Spa before but it's one of those races anything can happen - 75% chance of a safety car. Would love to see Fernando win.

     

    Ferrari have had ongoing issues with their windtunnel amongst other things plus their one lap pace is not good compared to Mercedes/RBR, yet still Fernando has still managed to win two races as he makes the best of whatever he's given.

     

    Hoping for a nice, clean start.....not like last year.

    As some of you know, I went from a brand new BMW 320 Coupe to my 147. It was a shock at first to drive, to say the least but I feel 'at one' with the car, let of junctions more and I'm not the Princess I was driving the Coupe (mostly!)

     

    Btw, I've always said 'beemer' - never heard anyone say 'bimmer' before (except a few fair folk on here).

    I was driving through the countryside the other afternoon and there was alot of tree debrs on the roads. I drove a little slower than usual but a small branch went under the 147 and then the 'numberplate light failure' light came on the dash soon after. Checked and the buld definitely gone.

     

    Got the new bulb and know it's not as fiddly as the side light to replace but have never done it before. Assume old one pops out?
