F1: Italian GP MonzaGood race I thought.Brawn GP claimed yet another victory in the final European race of the season at Monza. Rubens Barrichello and Jenson Button took first and second position after a tense Italian Grand Prix, as the Englishman scored his first podium finish in six races. The Brawn duo used a superior one-stop strategy to overhaul the two-stopping Lewis Hamilton. Barichello cut Button’s Championship lead by another two points to 14 as the season draws to an exciting climax. Hamilton had a decent start from pole but was overtaken by the Brawns when he made his first stop. He eventually crashed out on the last lap while desperately trying to challenge Button for second position, and was classified 12th. The accident promoted Kimi Raikkonen to a surprise podium finish for Ferrari. Force India’s Adrian Sutil harried Raikkonen all the way but had to make do with fourth place, the best result of his young F1 career. It was a bad weekend for Red Bull and their title rivals Mark Webber and Sebastian Vettel. The race saw Webber crash on the first lap and Vettel finishing eighth. Both drivers are now more than 25 points behind Button and their title hopes now look slim. Giancarlo Fisichella hoped to repeat his performance from the last race as he climbed into Felipe Massa’s Ferrari, but failed to deliver, finishing ninth. The Italian said he was satisfied with the result, and had been gaining pace as the weekend progressed, but admitted he was not up to speed yet. |

It was indeed a good race, pity Lewis binned it. I've seen a side by side of the last two laps and Lewis was less than 5cm wider going into the second Lesmo on the last lap and that was all it took to end his race.
On a side note if anyone's interested here are my pics from the Belgian GP: http://www.facebook.com/home.php#...m.php?aid=102737&id=508478137 |

Lewis was unfortunate, but thats racing - he was just wide enough to lose traction (did you hear his revs suddenly soar?) and that was that. Ouch! I was going to look at your Begian GP pics, but apparently you need a Facebook log in and I haven't got one. I don't think it's going to catch on you know....
