With all the rain we're getting out here, going back to Italy for a late Summer trip to check out the action in Monza this weekend sounds like the greatest short vacation on earth. Back to reality though, it's wet here and there isn't a cloud in the sky there. Hopefully the sunshine will continue for the race on Sunday. Vettel is 92 points ahead of Webber, his nearest rival, and is getting closer to claiming the championship outright. This doesn't mean you shouldn't watch though, because on top of the great 18,000+ rpm 2.4 litre V8 symphony, this track is a monster for high speeds and passing. We also need to see how Hammy responds after his DNF at Spa. Formula 1 is all about playing on the razors edge, and I look forward to more F1 action this weekend...I think I'm going through withdrawal. Oh and football is back tonight. Set your lineups if you're into that kinda thing...ahem.
