speaking of monza, my tickets for this years italian grand prix arrived today!

Nico finally had problems, lewis takes win
Bottas finishes 2nd after starting 16th
Riccardo finishes 3rd, button was charging after Riccardo

Raikkonen went wide on the first lap and went off. Lost control of the car while trying to come back on to the track. Massa was collected as well.

Alonso and Vettel had a good battle for 5th

kinda cool for the crowd that a briton won @ silverstone. sometimes i dislike lewis, yet sometimes i find myself cheering him on. this time i'm just happy it kept the title fight close.

the race would have had more drama had there been no missing rossberg, massa, and to an extent raikkonen.

i just keep hearing in my head JPMontoya saying: "fucking raikkonen. what a fucking idiot" everytime they showed that replay of him turning into a wrecking ball.

Or like webber saying. "I don't know what kimi was thinking, maybe he was drinking vodka"

Sounds like it was a good race.

Don't care for Lewis winning but like Momo said keeps it interesting at the top

haha nikki lauda is awesome:

Lauda - "I do not understand Vettel and his screaming like a small, startled child"

Kimi should not have rejoined going 'balls out' - Lauda

Happy to see Lewis win, but the best racing was between vettel and Alonso. Those 2 did whine up a storm though...and I thought it was pretty funny that lauda whines about 50 things per grand Prix weekend, then calls out someone else for whining.

Bottas had an amazing run, as did ricciardo...though I wish button had one more lap to finish the run.

In the post race interviews...it genuinely looked like Britney was crying. Oh how I hope to see Hamilton dominate the back half of the season.

Poor massa is all I have to say about him. I had told my wife on Saturday after qualifying that there was going to be a serious incident with so many fast guys at the back.

yea that vettel/alonso battle was so intense.
if only that was for 1st, it would have been the greatest race i've ever seen. well, it would have been if they didnt broadcast their radio crying!

[Ruffdaddy]

Man I was paranoid they were going to get drive through penalties the whole time for exceeding limits...at which point I would have turned off the TV and stopped watching F1.

this looks fun in a sketchy kinda way.

That's funny. Good stuff

In the middle of the season ? No gloves ? Don't think the Boss would be to happy if someone broke a leg?

ie. Tony Steward

but it was fun to watch

Qual recap for Germany

Nico on pole, followed by the williams of Bottas and Massa.
Magnussen is 4th, followed by the red bulls of Ricciardo and Vettel.

Hamilton wrecked in Q1, will start 15th or the pit lane.

Kimi and Button didn't crack the Top 10

Pretty frustrating to see ham continue to have these brake issues...

These brake failures are going to ruin Lewis' confidence thus his ability to late brake taking away one of his key attributes.

Interesting to see the pack get a tad closer after the removal of FRICs.
