That's the first time in about 10 years i've watched an entire F1 from start to finish - really good viewing and racing and I like the extra attention post race conference as Dembo said.

Not been to Spa, but the atmosphere at Monza is fantastic. And it's much more civilsed than Silverstone, you don't just get fleeced for a sad looking burger or bacon buttie, there's a choice of decent food and drink.

Even on a non race day there's a really special feeling walking around the old banking, and through the woods round the track.

I've just rung him and told him he was talking bollocks

So no change at RB, no change at McLaren.

That just leaves Ferrari and who will replace Massa.

I think the pieces will fall into place very quickly now. Hamilton will stay at McLaren, Schumacher will decide he is staying on at Mercedes, and Ferrari will sign up Massa but for one year only, because there isn't anyone else (and he has been doing better now the car isn't as bad as it was).

So no change all round then.

O thank the lord Mark has extended his contract with RedBull. I was terribly afraid he was going to go to an up and coming team to become their #1 driver instead of a Ferrari move to yet again be #2. I think LH will stay at McLaren because of his life long attraction to that team. (at least for one more year, 2013) I think Schumacher will decide to stay at Mercedes because he is smart and knows the reason for the lack of points is truthfully bad luck! I think if Massa does a consistent top 5 finish with 3-4 podiums this year we will be asked to stay. What do you guys think about JB? Do you think he is having a MW 2011 season where he just cant figure out the right set up?
