Pre race comment

Kimi Raikkonen - “Clearly the championship situation is what it is, but
I’m not the sort to give up that easily.”

Felipe Massa - "It is now looking very interesting in terms of the
championship, as I am just two points behind, but there are still five
races to go and we need to do a good job. I am really motivated to have
a great race there, especially in front of all our home fans, but we need
to concentrate and be strong all weekend.

Arriving at Monza as the winner of the last race is a boost, and we also
had a good test there the week before Spa. We did a lot of mileage,
which was important from the reliability point of view, especially on the
engine front, which will be a key element for the coming races. We also
did a lot of mileage running the low downforce Monza aero package, and
I think the results were generally okay. Thanks to some changes on the
suspension, we managed to improve the way the car works over the kerbs,
which is so important at this track.

Let's wait and see what happens. Personally, I can't wait to be back on
the race track after that unusual Sunday afternoon in Spa."

Timo Glock (having reluctantly accepted the penalty at Spa) - "We have
to push hard to score points because every point is important to us in the
fight for fourth in the constructors' championship.

We have the hard compound Bridgestone tyres again so warm-up might be
a bit tricky, although I expect the weather will be much better than in
Belgium so that should help.

The test went pretty well for us and we did some good work on the Monza
aero package but you never really know what the situation is in testing.

We'll have to wait and see on but we definitely have the potential to score
more points.”

Robert Kubica - "Looking at what happened last season, where Kimi had
a huge gap with two races to go and he won the championship, you have
to try your best and that's what I am trying to do. I am trying my best to
try and fight for the championship. From my point of view it is very clear.
I am a racing driver and I am fighting for my best, and when I am doing my
best I am doing it for myself and for the team. It is clear that if I score
eight points they go to the team and to my account, but maybe the priority
of late of the team has been a bit different from myself. That is why you get
this feeling, and to be honest I also get this feeling a bit, that maybe I am
the only stupid one or crazy one who is thinking about fighting for the
championship this season. While there is the chance I have to go for it
and I hope the team is doing the same, and I believe they are trying."

Lewis Hamilton - "I still have a two-point lead and we are going to make
sure that we just continue to attack and perform like we did in the last
two races. He (Massa) is the one who has to work damn hard to keep up
with. I feel like I'm coming here off a win, and moving onto the next race."
sual Sunday afternoon in Spa."

See what I wrote last year in my commentary of the Japanese Grand Prix
http://www.itccommunications.net/formulaone_japanesegp2007.html
about this young German driver.

Driver of the Day was Sebastian Vettel and this was probably the driver of the season and congratulations Escuderia Toro Rosso (ex Minardi) with a work force of only 120.

They say he was practicing in the wet in a kart between Spa and Monza. Obviously it paid off yesterday and today making Vettel the youngest driver to take a pole and a race win, taking the title from 2 times world champion Fernando Alonso who did this when he
was 22. A good drive from the Spaniard to finish 4th and damage limitation from Felipe Massa (Ferrari does not like the rain) and Lewis Hamilton (McLaren better suited to the rain and the English driver after Silverstone and Spa - "the rain master")
