Sebastian Vettel has won the Italian GP after taking the lead on lap 3 of the race. The World Champion was never threatened later on and controlled the remainder of the race. Jenson Button finished in second place while Fernando Alonso pleased the crowd with third place.

He's pretty clean with the exception of istanbul & melbourne.. he's very vocal if you remember Spa of 2010 with kubica incident.. did you saw how he talked to the pirelli guy with regards to the blistering.. he was poking him & arguing with him. he gets what he wants.Mr Alcatraz wrote: Ringster I'm still trying to wrap my brain around this one. After saying that Alonso forced him onto the grass, in the post race interview (which to me it looks like Alonso may have been guilty of scaring him onto the grass) when asked about it Fred said (not exact words) here at Monza we maybe were a little harder on him than elsewhere. Sorry!
So Alonso apologizes for from what the video appears to show was just balls to the wall racing with room left on the track, and no sudden lunges at him. Vettel goes from the interview room to the stewards after the freakin' guy apologizes.
I'm a little disappointed in that behavior. Maybe I missed something. I'm stopping short of bashing Vettel. I just think it was a little over the top on his behalf. I don't know maybe it's a cultural thing.
Have a laugh.

A steward told me after the race that he was very frustrated not to have been consulted during the race, particularly as he takes a very dim view of what he perceived as blockingplea bargain right here, and code in red. Hmm.. this sets the stage for serious fixing and manipulation.'I asked race director Charlie Whiting if the stewards can call up issues for themselves if they are not happy with something they see, and he said: "Absolutely".
'The procedure which did happen was race control spoke with the team and gave a warning which translated into two radio calls from team principal Ross Brawn to Schumacher to leave more space for Hamilton.'
Shumacher wasn't passed, he was asked to move over as a nicer penalty.
As for Vettel....
Dude won the race and he's whining to stewards becuase he got a little dirt on his socks.Brundle also added that Sebastian Vettel urged officials to look into his incident with Fernando Alonso. The Red Bull driver was left with very little space after attempting to over the Spaniard and was forced onto the grass at Curva Grande.
I take back all the ratings of bravery on the overtake.
Shumacher would have made this guy wet him self and short out the KERS.
I LOLed several times ;p
Is there actually proof that it happened that way? Brundle sometimes seems a bit bitchy about "sensational" things. Vettel said post race that Alonso was probably not aware of him being there. So there was no need to visit the Stewards to complain about it.ringo wrote: As for Vettel....

Alonso's explanation and apology appears at 5:38 in the vid. Brundle and others have blown it way out of proportion it looks like Alonso was actually jokingMandrake wrote:Is there actually proof that it happened that way?

http://totalf1.com/details/view/391701/ ... e/#commentIt's been revealed that Vettel approached the race stewards, which included former driver Derek Daly, and the FIA after the race, requesting they look at the footage to decide whether or not Ferrari driver should have been penalized.
how is that possible?volarchico wrote:From what I remember, they said Rosberg had damaged his set that he qualified on so they let him switch to another "used" set...not a completely new one. (BBC)
