Rosberg seems to have a problem with his DRS.

Both Mercedes.

[iceman1]

Schumacher won't be using the DRS in the last 40 minutes.

[iceman1]

Another problem for Alonso

Kravitz says it's gearbox...

[zoefrances]

why do driver's have so many problems with the DRS. KIMI suffers with this alot.

[iceman1]

@InsideFerrari: The gearbox on Fernando's car can be replaced without penalty as this was not a race unit.

Why do teams have so many problems with their gearboxes is what I'd rather wanna know. Not a single race weekend anymore without someone's gearbox going to waste...

Vettel says a 1-stop strategy is possible on Sunday.

[SpliT]

Paul Hembery thinks one-stop strategy will be most popular.

[donald29]

1 stop for everyone apart from Mercedes.

so we will see a boring race?

It's between Mercedes and McLaren this weekend.

We might see a team such as Red Bull try and qualify on the hard tyres so they can gain places on the mediums on lighter fuel.

It was disappointing to see Kamui so off pace, but overall I think quali will be somewhat exciting. Michael had great pace in P1, but I doubt he is going to make it above 5th. I think RB is going to be the dark horse at Monza; maybe a surprise 2 stop? If Hamilton doesn't win, he isn't going to be on the podium though! Lucky for him, he'll be well away from Maldonado, who I hope has a clean race. At the podium, Vettel, Button, and Raikkonen in any order. That is my hope anyway!

If it's gonna be a 1stop race, I think it'd make teams to be very conservative during most of the race and do some tire management...

If we go by practice form, I think Ferrari will be in the fight too. In Second Practice teams set the fastest times and Alonso was just +0.058 seconds off from 1st.
