I think being at the top for so long is mentally draining, Mika Hakkinen got tired after 2000.

Ricciardo's taken 3 points finishes in a row, should be 5 but for a last lap Monza car failure.

Toro Rosso are having a pretty good run. They often seem to score a few points at the start of a season, have a terrible mid-season then finish quite strongly and score more points at the end of a season.

And they got James Key now. Let's see what kind of impact that'll have on the seasons to come. I still wonder why Key left Sauber for Torro Rosso, though.

I know, that was really weird. Especially as Key did a lot to the C31.

I don't know but they blamed him on what happened in Australia 2011.

To let him go because of that would've been a very shortsighted decision by Sauber. Especially, as phil said, he's the technical director that brought them the C31.

I remember there was speculation it was because he wanted to work for a team based in England, but now he's at one based in Italy. Will be interesting to see how both Toro Rosso and Sauber fare now he's switched teams.

Jennie Gow says she asked Massa if Eddie Jordan's right he will be confirmed at Ferrari in the coming days. Massa said he hopes he's right, maybe for once. :lol:

Even this year is not over yet, and Alonso seems to be sure, it's a question of when not if he'll win with Ferrari. I can't argue with him

Boring race... I think there is too much corners on this track...

But nice to see Massa on par with Alonso during the last races. Solid race by the Redbulls and Hulkenberg. Impressive stuff by Ricciardo and Vergne.

I think you forgot the fantastic Australian GP 2008 for Ferrari Phil :O . About McLaren, good old Montoya :lol: , do you think if he didn't retire from F1 that race, he would have had a race ban for taking out 4 drivers? Just joking :zz:

Raikkonen was classified 8th in that race.
