Roll on 9am Friday

Totally

I love being off on practice day, means I can sit back, relax and watch a day of coverage.

Senna is back.

Can't wait until tomorrow!

Senna done an amazing job in qualifying for Renault!

Vettel leading Hamilton on the front row - gonna be a brilliant race! I can't help but wonder if Hamilton's car hadn't been damaged what he could have achieved and maybe knocked Vettel to 2nd!

Guess we shall fine out tomorrow!

Maldonado should've been penalised more severely IMO.

What did everybody think of the race yesterday?

Brilliant drive by Jenson, shame about Lewis though. Hopefully McLaren can come back on challenge for some wins. The championships over now, I'd say unless Vettel somehow gets ruled out for the rest of the season with injury or something. Which I can't see happening.

Might as well challenge for the odd win and start focusing on 2012. I'd love a competitive season next year.

It was a decent race & as you say shame about Lewis... But that happens in racing!
Vettel surely has won the title again... So now the focus is on the battle for 2nd place.

Jenson has been driving so much better than Lewis this year! Lewis needs to watch his back if he wants it to remain 'his' team.

Jenson my driver of the day, easily. I think he could of easily won had he started near the front, his set-up was perfect. Lewis's had the worst straight-line speed ever! :S

Rumor has it Red Bull's second team (Torro Rosso) is being sold in time for Monza.

The group wanting to buy is the same company which owns Manchester City FC and also owns a share in Mercedes GP.

It would certainly stop the confusion with livery. I'm unsure why they'd sell it though, seeing its being used for Red Bull's young drivers presumably. Even though I suppose they've got Vettel from TR. I'm pretty sure that if the FIA hadn't outlawed 'customer cars' a couple of years back they'd still be going reasonably strong under the Red Bull banner.

We await further info though

Appears the Heidfeld-Renault saga has come to an end after an 'amicable' settlement.

In a way I feel a bit sorry for the guy, he wasn't a to bad racer especially when he was at BMW Sauber. I just guess he isn't a top racer, and has trouble leading a team as the 'Lead Driver' which Renault seem to want. It also looks like Renualt have shifted some of the blame for their bad car onto Nick. They need to face the facts, they are more of a midfield team at least at the moment with the top 3 and Mercedes who have superior driver line-ups.

Anyway, lets see how Bruno Senna does. It'll certainly be interesting to see how he performs in a midfield car compared to a rubbish HRT.

Looking forward to Monza
