This weekend, we are back at Monza. For some teams, their apparent lack of horsepower will be evident. For Ferrari, the pressure to perform at their home may prove a fairly large hurdle.

What I am expecting to see is the Mercedes factory cars and the teams with their engines filling most of the top 10.
Sebastian Vettel will again be gallant in getting his Ferrari home in 3rd while Kimi will come home after the Red Bulls.

Rosberg and Ricciardo were the standouts in this race. Rosberg recovered from a poor qualifying form where he was soundly beaten by Hamilton but took the lead at the start and never looked back.

Ricciardo managed a number of overtakes and the last one catching Bottas was brilliant. He recovered to 5th in the underpowered Renault and for me that give him the driver of the day.

I should have listened to my thoughts when tipping 10 'n' pole.
I would have had the first 5 home and all 10 in the top 10.
