Second: Jenson Button

Third: Fernando Alonso

Fourth: Michael Schumacher

Fifth: Sebastian Vettel

Sixth: Nico Rosberg

Seventh: Mark Webber

Eighth: Paul di Resta

Ninth: Bruno Senna

Tenth: Vitaly Petrov

Red Bull got slightly lucky at Spa. Qualifying woe saw Button well out of position, the Ferraris were rubbish on white tyres [admittedly a problem at Monza too, for them] and Hamilton didn't finish. I think McLaren will do well.

Normally I'd have Sebby V. in the winner's spot, but this is Monza......you have to imagine that if there's a track out there Ferrari needs to; nee', MUST win at, it is la place d'Magica.........hence why I have Fernando Alonso in the winner's spot(and why Massa's occupying 3rd on the above list.....)....

Pole: Sebastian Vettel

I think the Mercedes engine will be too much for RE to overcome.
Alonso will try his hardest so can only beat Webber and Nico will show how much better he is in the car over the others.
My difficulty was for 9 and 10, I rate di Resta and Jaime seems better in the TR and the Suabers feel to be falling off the pace, also their propensity to use as few tyres as possible seems to be hurting them a bit more.

Looks like we are in the minority MLittle.
So we could end up looking stupid or very very smart!!!!
