Ricciardo to start from the back of the grid due to a brand new Renault engine (the newer 'C' spec) being fitted to his car.
Sadly, DR didn't even complete one lap before he lost all power. It's strange how ever since DR announced he was heading to Renault, his Renault powered Red Bull has had "issues" with the Renault PU. |

It was great to see FOM host another F1 live demo, this time in the city of Milan on Thursday before the Monza GP. Seems to be popular with the fans.
A great showcase of the cars, and the drivers skills for all to see. A couple of highlight video's below. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1O8-VPiDo0s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OghKNpQNy1s |

haha right!
no doubt its a conspiracy but im inclined to look at this as more of a case of RB allowing DR to put his best foot forward during the early part of season and, perhaps more importantly, while he was actively looking around for a new contract. that he has now used up his allotment is just the natural consequence of his early season points haul and the allotments rules imo. anyways bring on Monza! links for Ferrari and Renault race posters. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Dl0-J4CWsAA7hJS.jpg:large https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DlwFb7pWsAA7Fea.jpg:large |

Why are they holding his race when they’ve not done anything about the racing?

I'm so looking forward to this one.
Finger Boy rained supreme, on Lulu's parade at his home track of Silverstone. However, Lulu got him back at Hockenheim and Finger Boy had to retract the finger. They went on holiday but when they came back, Finger Boy gave Lulu one in the eye, at Spa-Franchorchamps, for good measure. Ferrari's last victory at Monza was in 2010, with a youngish, Spanish driver called Fred. So can Ferrari and Finger Boy end the drought? Mercedes have won at Monza for the past four years, with Lulu on pole ever since 2014. So will Lulu and Mercedes reign over their parade? |

Nasty one for Ericsson, yet again a failure of the dreaded DRS. I agree with Sainz, one day there should be no need for it.

Well it ony took 4 posts to turn a race weekend thread into a Vettel-bash, and multiple times in 20.
Business as usual then. |

So Kimi takes pole, followed by Vettee and Lulu. That was quite exciting.

Vettel's face says it all; he's clearly disappointed with second on the grid.
