Hopefully I'll get to watch this weekend. I haven't been following the 2nd half of the season much but I really hope that Kimi gets his shit together.

Keep us updated, bobby.

aikkonen sets the Friday pace
Italian GP - Second practice
12/09/08 15:50




Zoom
Number 1, P1 in Friday practice at Monza

Celebrating his new Ferrari contract today at Monza, Kimi Raikkonen topped the timesheets at the end of free practice for the Italian team with a best lap of 1:23.861s. The rains that washed out much of the morning session had passed overhead this afternoon leaving the circuit dry for the bulk of the second 90-minute free practice session.

Raikkonen moved to the head of the timesheets in the final minutes of what was a surprisingly uneventful session, as the teams completed their tyre programme with the softer option Bridgestone tyre.

BMW Sauber topped the test at Monza two weeks ago and looked strong again this afternoon with Robert Kubica and Nick Heidfeld recording the second and third fastest times respectively, both within a tenth of Raikkonen’s best lap.

Lewis Hamilton, undoubtedly smarting after his Belgian Grand Prix surprise, set the fourth fastest time with McLaren Mercedes team-mate Heikki Kovalainen nearly four-tenths shy and seventh best.

Nico Rosberg ran well in the Williams Toyota and was on the pace throughout the session before setting the fifth fastest time ahead of Felipe Massa in the second Ferrari. Williams need a good result after a difficult summer and in Rosberg’s hands at least the FW30 is performing well in the ultra-low downforce configuration.



Proving that having Renault power is not a disadvantage at Monza, Mark Webber set the eighth fastest time in his Red Bull with team-mate David Coulthard six-tenths down in 11th position and splitting the Toro Rosso Ferrari duo of Sebastian Vettel and Sebastien Bourdais.

Adrian Sutil was arguably the surprise of the session as he ran consistently in the top six some time before being bumped down the order in the final minutes to ninth. Sutil, who suffered a mechanical problem in the pitlane ahead of the chequered flag, recorded the ninth best time in his Force India Ferrari, just eight-tenths off the ultimate pace

Vettel #1 STR wow...what a "little" water does....

Qualifying for the Italian Grand Prix took part in very wet conditions once again and produced a quite extraordinary grid order for Sunday’s 53-lap event. In just his 22nd Grand Prix weekend Sebastian Vettel claimed a sensational first pole position for both himself and the Scuderia Toro Rosso team on a day when the expected front-runners failed to shine in gloomy Monza conditions.

Vettel proved fast in all three qualifying sessions, topping the timesheets at the end of Q2 and more importantly as the chequered flag flew at the end of Q3. While a surprise result, it was by no means a fluke result as the young German racer has proven to be ultra-competitive in the wet conditions many times and the STR3 package continues to improve by the race.

As Vettel celebrates his pole, McLaren Mercedes salvaged a front row-start courtesy of Heikki Kovalainen who looked far more at home in the conditions this weekend than his championship leading team-mate Lewis Hamilton.

Mark Webber put in a very strong performance once again in his Red Bull Renault, moving third right at the end of the session when conditions were deteriorating and others were failing to improve. Making it three Adrian Newey-designed cars in the top four was Sebastien Bourdais, who while not on the pace of team-mate Vettel, put in a great lap ahead of a spin right at the end of the session exiting the Ascari chicane.

Nico Rosberg has been there-or-thereabouts all weekend in his Williams Toyota and lines up an impressive fifth on a day that team-mate Kazuki Nakajima disappointed once again in the second FW30.

4:30 am sunday....wowzer!!!

xoxoxoo



Felipe Massa was the fastest of the championship contenders as he qualified his Ferrari in sixth position. Amazingly Robert Kubica, Kimi Raikkonen and Lewis Hamilton did not even make the top ten. For Massa, this is his chance to really try and make gains in the championship standings tomorrow afternoon.

The fastest track on the calendar and plenty of water on it but no major crashes and only some minor contact. These guys really are the best in the world!!

Im not a Lewis Hamilton fan but man is he aggressive when making a pass. It cost him last week but from 15th to move up through the way he did?!!

Finally got caught up on last and this week's races, and they were both pretty amazing. Not sure about the call on Hamilton. The rain really does make things a lot more interesting. I'm glad Vettel did so well, he's had a bad year so far, but really is a good driver and will hopefully be in F1 for a while. Now if Kimi could get back on his game...
