Lessons from Italian GP

Did you see yesterday's Italian GP, if not, you missed one of the wonderful races in F1 history. It was a dull day to start with at Monza, with rain, overnight rain, track was wet. In fact for the first time i saw race starting with Safety car, just as a precautionary step towards avoiding mishaps like what happened in the past (FYI, Italian racing track is one of the deadliest tracks and is known for its accidents leading to death).

I thought there were moments that requires special mention... these are my thoughts.. obviously i may miss some, feel free to add,

1. Sebastian Vettel, youngest ever F1 champ. The following is the excerpts from www.f1.com site. 

They laughed when Sebastian Vettel and Toro Rosso snatched pole position in qualifying - but that turned to cheers of admiration on Sunday when the 21 year-old German became Formula One’s youngest ever winner after a brilliant wet-weather victory at Monza.

2. It was a treat to watch Hamilton during yesterday's race. You start at 15th place, you are a title contender, your nearest driver is 6th in starting grid, what will you do? Hamilton showed pure character, aggression and technical perfection and speed of execution during yesterday's race. it only shows his self belief and driving skill... He would have bettered his position, if he need not pit for 2nd time to change intermediate tyres

until next
