F1- Hamilton mastered Monza over the weekend

 

I just finished watching the Italian GP at Monza and realized the demolition the Brit caused over the weekend, getting first in 2 practices, the pole and -obviously- the race.

Hamilton in the Qualifying  race

But he was not the only winner, Mexican Sergio Pérez did an outstanding race getting second after having started 12th, Sauber proved they are not to be tossed aside with the underdogs.

Ferrari also ended happily as Alonso ended third climbing from the 10th place  and reassuring his first place at the overall ranking for this season, he was followed by Massa closely as he ended 4th

01. Hamilton McLaren-Mercedes 1h19:41.221
02. Perez Sauber-Ferrari + 4.356
03. Alonso Ferrari + 20.594
04. Massa Ferrari + 29.667
05. Raikkonen Lotus-Renault + 30.881
06. Schumacher Mercedes + 31.259
07. Rosberg Mercedes + 33.550
08. Di Resta Force India-Mercedes + 41.057
09. Kobayashi Sauber-Ferrari + 43.898
11. Senna Williams-Renault + 48.144
12. Maldonado Williams-Renault + 48.682
10. Ricciardo Toro Rosso-Ferrari + 50.316
13. d'Ambrosio Lotus-Renault + 1:15.861
14. Kovalainen Caterham-Renault + 1 lap
15. Petrov Caterham-Renault + 1 lap
16. Pic Marussia-Cosworth + 1 lap
17. Glock Marussia-Cosworth + 1 lap
18. De la Rosa HRT-Cosworth + 1 lap
19. Karthikeyan HRT-Cosworth + 1 lap
20. Webber Red Bull-Renault + 2 laps
21. Hulkenberg Force India-Mercedes + 3 laps
22. Vettel Red Bull-Renault + 6 laps
Did Not Finish
Button McLaren-Mercedes 32
Vergne Toro Rosso-Ferrari 8 Remember that if a driver gets out of the race having completed more than 90% of it he will still get a result (based on estimations)


The race proved to be rough as we had lots of disappointments , Jenson Button´s  race ended in lap 34 because of a suspected fuel pick up problem. Toro Rosso´s Vergne had a little crash and had to retire, team Red Bull ended with both drivers in the bottom as Vettel got out at lap 50 and Webber followed him 2 laps later.

Vergne escaped an injury but said that he had back and head pains

Alonso gave a great show at the podium speaking in Italian and filming the crowds with a TV camera, he gave a more "personal" feeling to f1 one that I hope is repeated.

I would have wanted more from Schumacher and Räikkönen (he didn't play very aggressively and could have done better, I believe)
I liked Maldonado´s race as he climed from 22nd to 11th and drove withocomplication.
On a scale of 1 to 10 (10 being the best) how would you rate the race?  Which driver did you like the most? Comment your answers below!
