Going with Williams and Massa. Bottas too would be good. Monza has magic. It will be a great race for sure

I think Lewis is in a groove and driving really consistently.
Easy pick for this one.

ho-hum, kerblammo, ooh! a Ferrari in 2nd, and the Williams pair battle for the last couple of laps...yawn!

My reaction to the Monza race. Maybe the heat in Singapore will add some spice to the next race.

Seeing Kimi sitting there, at the start, kinda warms the heart of this old fart. Even, multi-million $$$ F1 drivers can stall an engine.
