Button just hit 347 before completely blowing the first chicane.

He was pre-occupied with the guy leaving pits

Montoya to Sky Italy:

"Juan Pablo, it's really nice to have you again in an F1 paddock after so many years!"
"Actually I'm here for the GP2"

 

[GTPorsche]

He is helping Julian Leal this weekend.

 

[Legro]

Bit funny. Because what happened with Mercedes in last GP, reminded me about he did in 2006 Indianapolis GP. And now he's at F1 paddock again.

Here's hoping for a quality race and another Rosberg win. I have heard all the say-so on the collision between the team mates and still think it was a mistake by Nico but that's racing look how many times Lewis has tried a silly manouvere and got it wrong, hitting Button his team mate for one. I hope both drivers forget about it and both race to win as usual.
Go Nico win well and win that championship.
God helps us if there is another collision between the two of them I can see Hamilton shed tears if they touch.
I am not a fan of Lewis I think he comes across as a premadonna who sulks when he can't have everything his own way. Am I the only one to think this?

 

[mustafur]

Both are egomaniac drivers, Nico is a passive aggressive and has a very unsporting nature about him(only happy when it's his success), Hamilton on the other hand whilst super talented seems to be at complete mercy of his emotions.

I Hope Ricciardo beats em both.

Electronic gremlins for Hammy? Whoops. My "accident" pick for this weekend doesn't look so good right now.

Moron
Asinine
Loser
Dunce
Oaf
Nitwit
Airhead
Douche
Obnoxious

I have a feeling he will be one of these during P3 or Q.

 

[MHPALA]

Hammi = Top em'

Yea, you have reliability problems german.

 

[Grayfox]

LOL Redbull.

Kvyat is the first to run afoul of the new engine penalties - he'll get ten places for an engine change. If he qualifies in thirteenth or lower, the difference will be made up in Singapore.

 

[Ninners]

Rosberg has a gearbox problem.

Do not change gear perez,

No. I think there's a fair few on here (GTP) that feel the same way as you, though for the record i don't share that same opinion.

 

[prisonermonkeys]

I don't have any problems with Hamilton. My issue stems from reactions like dhandeh's. Because after all we went through last year, apparently it's entirely okay to boo if a popular driver loses out because of it. I promise you that the people who attacked Rosberg the most vehemently after Spa would be the first to applaud it if Hamilton did something similar. When Rosberg did it, everyone assumed it was deliberate - but if Hamilton had done it, he would have been celebrated for refusing to yield to Rosberg, with their contact being unfortunate, but Rosberg's subsequent puncture a fitting reward for assuming Lord Lewis would fold the moment Rosberg made a move.

It's a cynical and hypocritical outlook, and the main reason why I'm backing Rosberg for the title. I think one of the journalists at Thursday's press conference put it best - Rosberg came across as very relaxed, eloquent, and very, very likeable, and that it would be hard for elements of the British press to cast him in the role of villain that they're clearly trying to force upon him because they have already written the script for the seaaon.

And maybe the Rosberg fans would have assumed it was deliberate (Hamilton puncturing Rosbergs' tyre).. who knows?

(For the record, i'm also a Rosberg fan as well as a Hamilton fan).

 

[GTPorsche]

In my eyes it's just an overreacted to racing incident and if they weren't teammates it wouldn't still be talked about.

 

[Peasantslayer]

...I promise you that the people who attacked Rosberg the most vehemently after Spa would be the first to applaud it if Hamilton did something similar...

I attacked Rosberg a bit and I'd do the same if Hamilton had taken out Rosberg, perhaps not as much.

 

[Grayfox]

Q1 underway.

 

[mister dog]

Spanish TV just mentioned there are a lot less spectators this year at Monza, and can't help but see it looks quite empty myself. What a difference with the glory days of F1 when the tifosi were numerous and went wild

 

[Lewis_Hamilton_]

Come on Williams, you can do it.

 

[Chris123]

Is it just me, or are Hammy and Nico trading blows in Q1. Looks like they're trying to outdo each other, like sending a message to one another.

 

[Grayfox]

Oh what a shame, Maldonado has issues.

 

[MHPALA]

Lotus... What a train wreck.

 

[GTPorsche]

Lotus slower than Marussia out of the Parabolica. That's embarrassing.

 

[Robin]

BBC talking to Montoya, would be cool if he came back but I think he's probably too old now.

Lotus... What a train wreck.

Went from one of the best to one of the worst teams, sad to see. So many reliability issues, and when the cars do work, their pace is dismal.
