F1 Grand Prix, Monza

[ChillDoubt]

Will be getting underway at 1 o'clock with another Mercedes front row but this time Hamilton had no qualifying gremlins when it counted and he starts on pole.
Can we expect Rosberg to toe the line and follow the latest management edict? As Lewis said, he isn't the one who needs telling.
Either way there will be fireworks and we'll really get to see just how good Nico supposedly is whilst having to chase. Can't wait!

[ChillDoubt]

Here we go.........

[Jomlett]

Bad start from Lewis...

[ChillDoubt]

Nightmare start for Hamilton, dropped to 4th before the first bend, he just never got any power down and Rosberg has opened up a lead already.

\\\\we'll really get to see just how good Nico supposedly is whilst having to chase\\\

There's your answer Chilli.........bloody good......he has gone ahead.

[ChillDoubt]

Team radio suggest Hamilton already has some sort of minor problem........

[ChillDoubt]

I meant I wanted to see what Rosberg would be like if both were on an equal footing and him having to chase.
Hamilton clearly has a problem with the car but hopefully he's sorting it.

[ChillDoubt]

Hamilton moves to 3rd, hopefully whatever problem he had has been rectified and we'll shortly have a race on between the 2 Mercedes.

[ChillDoubt]

Rosberg makes a mistake and straight away Hamilton performs a brilliant pass on Massa.
Now we will see how Rosberg performs under pressure....

[ChillDoubt]

Hamilton sets a new fastest lap and Rosberg tells his team not to tell him the gap. Sounds like a worried man.
If Hamilton gets close and remains faster maybe Rosberg will be asked to move over, but I won't hold my breath......!

I'm not at all biased and I'd love to see a good race, but I really hope that Lewis can win this and embarrass Nico after that awful, awful tactic he pulled at Spa.

I don't blame you ;-)

[ChillDoubt]

Not forgetting the awful, awful stunt he pulled at Monaco, jim.

[jim360]

Oh yes, that too! #reallynotbiased,honest! #OKIwantLewistowin

[ChillDoubt]

I admit to being biased but that is because I genuinely believe Lewis is the better driver and Nico has been, how can I put it......very tactical when it comes to manouevering the situation to suit himself this season.
If he does win the title it'll be tainted IMHO, like a couple of Schumacher's were.

[ChillDoubt]

Rosberg cracks under pressure as he goes straight on and loses the lead to Hamilton who is flying now.

[jim360]

Apparently Lewis just took the lead... where the heck did that come from? Can he hold on to it?

[ChillDoubt]

37 of 53 laps gone and Hamilton has opened up a 4.3 second lead over Rosberg.
Seems fairly plain to me who the better driver is and if it remains like this I can see Rosberg having some mental issues when it comes to dealing with Hamilton in the remaining races.

[jim360]

A win for Lewis! Woohoo!

[ChillDoubt]

A great win for Lewis and the gap narrows in the title race.
It's gonna be very interesting from now on in.

Hamilton's car sabotaged at the start again - there is perhaps a Rosberg supporter in Lewis's side of the Mercedes garage. But he trumped them this time.
