    Bottas is usually handy at the less twisty tracks so a punt taken on him.

    I think anything other than a Vettel win would be deemed an upset. Kimi pole and Vettel win would be my guess.

    hmm, ok, I think Hamilton has a better chance than him, but then, isn't that also too obvious?

    How many Renault powered cars will be lapped this weekend?

    It’s not gonna be pretty in Monza.

    Gonna be interesting to see how far back Honda are now, I won't be surprised to see Honda become the 3rd ranked PU by the time it goes into the RBR

    I'm still half wondering about the theory that Renault are being poor purely to scare Red Bull off before pulling out all the stops on the PU.

    I hope for the sake of competitive racing they are but they don’t fill anyone with confidence.

    Would it perhaps be logical though to hide a few things from Red Bull now, especially since they’ve probably known like before it was announced that Honda would be where RBR go? (Once Toro Rosso signed, RBR were gonna sign barring a Honda performance disaster)?

    The intriguing thing that makes me curious is the Dan Ricciardo decision to join them. I don’t buy the whole “scared of Max nonsense- Ricc would back himself against anyone as long as he had a race winning/championship contending car.

    I think there’s loads more to his move than we all know and he’s seen something that’s made him think it could put him in a better position than Red Bull Honda can.

    RBR gave Renault ZERO credit for the glory years , and were quick to stick the Knife in when it went the shape of the pear .

    However , I like to think that Renault have thought about the Brand and it's WW car sales etc *






















    Na . **** it . I hope they F**K RBR ( NOT Honda ) Royally over :)

    It's rear wing Drs failure.

    Hulkenburg has had it too.

    It looks more than just stuck open. It looks like it's gone so far its actually upforce <laugh>


    Seriously this is ragged edge stuff and it's bloody dangerous
