Monza anyone?

NBC Sports is taking me to Monza today. Anyone else going?

Merc has the front row tied up with Ferrari taking up the 2nd row at the home track.

Hamilton took pole by a half second over Nico. So it looks good for my guy. But Monza is Monza and Nico has the proven ability to run into Hamilton. So no telling how it will end.

Anyone else wish they'd open a part of the old track too?

F1 has become too predictable, love the sport but needs more competition between the teams.

Yes, I would like to see the old track opened up, would be amazing.

Watched the race and realized it it was over within the first ten seconds after Hamilton botched his start.

I get so tired of the announcers gushing about how Rosberg won the last two races. Toe to toe, unless Hamilton makes a mistake, Rosberg won't beat him. I don't think he has the mental skills to purely out-race Hamilton.

Hamilton starts last at Spa and finishes on the podium. I doubt Roseberg could do that. Hamilton tanks his start at Monza, falls to sixth after the first chicane and finishes second.

Hamilton is a pure racer on Sundays and I believe that is what will take him to the championship again this year.

I just hope Hamilton can make it 4 this year and cement his position as one of the very best which we all know he is.
