Didn't mean to make anything of it, Just found it & Hamilton's response to it a little amusing.


You can also look at Alonso, They cheered his engine failure in 2006 & cheered just as loudly when he won for Ferrari in 2010.

i was just making things clear since in the past i've heard people calling italians racist cause they booed hamilton and he is black, while in fact if hamilton was driving a Ferrari and even more winning with a ferrari he would be loved just like any other driver of the past.

and in 2006, i was right there in 1st chichane watching the race and i remember it like if it was today, i've heard the crow go mental like that only in a stadium when the home team scores a decisive goal, the noise of the engine was overshadowed by the noise of the people, it was mental.

This was a very bad race, looking forward to Singapore

I liked the race, the scrambled grid had so much passing that I would expect in a regular race

that's what we need, a qualifying with random start positions (with Mercedes starting at the back obviously)

I didn't think this one turned out too bad. The action behind 1st and 2nd was pretty good by Monza standards.

Luckily the wishes of some people that other drivers hit Hamilton once again did not materialize! Hamilton won! The championship is starting to end. It will also start to get more boring ...

The fans were subdued but remarkably patient. They really started to lose it when they announced the 3rd delay at 3:00pm. Many started to walk out then and everyone just sounded restless. I'm glad I didn't stay until when they finally resumed qualifying though as I was fucking frozen and soaked.

To answer someone else's question, yes I did bring a raincoat. I was at Monza in 2008 and I have awful memories of that weekend so now I always carry a raincoat with me to GPs hah! But the rain yesterday was actually really heavy at parks and walking long distances through the park to the bus area gets you properly soaked. The shittiest part is definitely walking through the wet mud.

Some journalist recently posted this on Twitter and sums up my thoughts on the Italian Grand Prix in general:"Every year the Italians seems surprised that they have to organize a grand prix event."

Interesting, thanks for your POV! I can only agree with the tweet as well, it's more like an unorganised picknick instead of an event

Cool, thanks!

I think it's the turbo because I also heard it today during the race. Maybe high humidity intensifies the noise. But it would be an interesting question for a brief TV segment in the build up.

Any idea why McLaren didn't bring in Stoffel to change tyres? Even Alonso who was on hard tyres pitted before Stoffel who started on softer tyres.

Could it be to try to put Alonso in front of him to please the Spaniard? Because I can't find any reason why they didn't change tyres the same time like the Torro Rosso who was just 1 sec in front of him.

oh, and about the race, I think it was not too bad for Monza standards.

Holy. Fuck. I'm flying back to London from Milan and Chase Carey is sitting next to me.

Did you give him some pointers?

He doesn't have a private jet?

I was surprised to see him flying commercial too. I got him to autograph my F1 Racing mag and he was pretty nice about it and even waved bye after. I should've asked him for paddock passes hah!

That's awesome lol. Would've never expected him to fly commercial.

That's awesome! But I guess sometimes people are just not aware of who it is. I was walking around in Monaco and there looooots of people. De la Rosa was walking in the crowed unnnoticed I'm like hey this is even an F1 race But Carey is a good one

Hahaha this is great I probably would have been peeking at his iPad all the time. Cool to hear he was pleasant.
