Merc will be dominant at Monza

well we all knew that these two tracks would HURT us

[stefa]

OK. They tried, sadly we need little more in BHP

[mwk360]

sky will act surprised when hamilton wins

[Red is Best]

So much for our fresh set of US then. Boring race but solid result nontheless. God I hate Hamilton, I hope he never drives for Ferrari.

"Leave me to it, Bono," says Hamilton after receiving advice from his race engineer.

Vettel is still just outside DRS range.

[Kristof_F40]

Seb was able to stay within 2s of HAM for the entire race, I mean, you can't really say Merc was much faster here than us.. They were faster on one lap however

[mwk360]

kimi could be p3, but nothing at the moment

[FerrariF60]

OR ban the mercs for burning/using so much OIL

[stefa]

At least SV is still leading WDC

[458 Italia]

This was purely down to power output and nothing more I think. We have the better car overall.

[Greig]

OR ban the mercs for burning/using so much OIL

? same rules for everyone.

[mwk360]

mercs on Softs are faster than ferrari on US, he held that gap, atleast it wasnt a giant distance like silverstone, way better, so ferrari definitely improved but so did RB

[458 Italia]

Wasn't it not discovered that Ferrari were the ones gaining the most from this?

[FerrariF60]

it's not HOW much faster you are, weather it's half a second or 10 seconds.....it's to WIN the race, which the Mercs have done

[gvera]

It's not only HP, the Merc has a more efficient aero

[darkchild]

Long corners its terrible to stay under 1.5s as you start to lose DF.

[jgonzalesm6]

Hamilton on softs and Vettel on US......yikes

[FerrariF60]

At least SV is still leading WDC

yeah, but that is slowly dropping...oh, welll we're doing so much better than last year

[mwk360]

blegh what a bitter end to the weekend, the rat won

[zike]

Merc will be dominant at Monza

I don't think so

[Kristof_F40]

The worst thing about this result is probably that Mercs will now favour HAM over BOT in the championship

[darkchild]

Dropping what? They had new engine and had 3 tenths over lap just on straights.

[mwk360]

hopefully they find some cheats or problems in the mercs car and they get DQ'd like they did to leclerc

[Kristof_F40]

Agree, the fact he could just stay there and keeps his tyres is impressive I thought.. Everyone was saying this race was going to be though for us, I think we did well, showed strong pace..

That is not surprising at all
