**Anon via text on 81111: **“Am I the only one who thinks Hamilton should have been penalised for blocking Sebastian Buemi’s lap in qualifying Fair play the Toro Rosso probably wouldn’t have gone any faster, but who knows” 1149: News overnight by the way, that Rubens Barrichello has refused to change the charred gearbox in his Brawn so as not to incur a five-place penalty on the grid. The Brazilian believes his best hope of victory or a podium place is to chance his arm on the gearbox surviving the race - conspiracy theorists might suggest Brawn GP bosses wouldn’t be too unhappy if said gearbox failed during the race meaning they can concentrate on Jenson Button’s title bid for the remainder of the season. Any of you in this camp
**Tenordrumman on 606: **](http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/606/A57046700)“I’m relishing the thought of watching this race. Lewis looks to back to his best and must be favourite to win, I expect Kovi to be up there with him as well.”
BBC Sport’s Sarah Holt in Monza: "Are you ready to say arrivederci to the European leg of the season You probably could not ask for a finer farewell than by racing at two classic venues; first Spa and now Monza. It is incredibly busy here at the royal park circuit. Home boys Ferrari have a lot of guests in the inner sanctum of the paddock while the tifosi are thronged amongst the woods and rickety metal grandstands. The sun is shining and with plenty of shuffling expected off the start all the signs point to a cracking race. If you believe in omens then today the 13th race of the year will be run on Sunday 13th - but, fear not, there has never been a number 13 car used in Formula 1."Czar-Orac on 606:](http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/606/A57046700)“I’ll go for Rubens too. Assuming the Brawn team don’t find another excuse to hinder him… They’ll probably switch him to a nine-stopper while he’s in the lead.”
1138: So here’s what I want you good people to do - I want you to send me your missives in your thousands via text on 81111 or over on606,](http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/606/A57046700s_fromedit=1&s_type=15&s_sport=motorsport)and let’s see if we can’t just cobble together the correct podium placing ahead of time. It’s a bit like “magician” Derren Brown’s means of predicting lottery numbers, only not fake and not done with an annoyingly smug grin on the bed of a rubbish goatee.1135: Lewis Hamilton might have produced a stunning late lap to snatch pole position yesterday, but a look atour fuel-adjusted gridreveals McLaren team-mate Heikki Kovalainen was actually the fastest man in qualifying, with the Brawn GPs of Rubens Barrichello and Jenson Button bang in the mix. A mere 0.073 seconds separated the top four drivers yesterday, in fact, and that did not include Force India’s Adrian Sutil, the Ferrari of Kimi Raikkonen or either Red Bull. And, as if that didn’t provide intrigue enough, seven of the top 10 drivers appear to be on a one-stop strategy, with Hamilton, Sutil and Raikkonen on a two-stopper. Potential carnage.1130: OurF1 mole is tipping Jenson Button,F1 commentator Jonathan Legardforesees a Kers-boosted lock-out of the top three,and I threw the names in a hat and picked out text commentary darling Adrian Sutil. Today’s Italian Grand Prix could just be the closest fought race of the season yet, and predicting a definite winner looks more troublesome than a four-year-old after too much fizzy pop.
