Alonso leads home McLaren 1-2 at Monza

BAMBINO: Fernando Alonso proved that he is one of the best F1 Drivers ever by winning the last two World Championships. After winning the Italian GP on Ferrari turf, he now is primed to win his 3rd in a row furthering his legacy. Fernando lead from pole in his 100th GP and easily dominated the field. He is now 3 points behind his team mate Lewis Hamilton going into the last 4 races of the season. We are set for a McLaren showdown down the stretch. My money's on Alonso.

The Ferrari boys had mixed results with Kimi finishing on the podium 3rd, and Massa retiring on Lap 10 with a suspension failure. Kimi was on a one stop strategy and it looked like he would beat the McLaren 2 stoppers. But his F2007 did not have the speed of the Mercedes-Benz powered McLarens and could not make ground.

BMW continues it's dominance over the 2nd Tier with Heidfeld finishing 4th and Kubica naling down the 5th spot. Nico Rosberg, Heikki Kovalainen, and Jenson Button rounded out the scoring.

Monza is one of the last of the classic tracks. It is a mostly flat out speed circuit with minimal downforce for the chicanes. If the Italian GP is ever held anywhere else, it would be a farce. Next up is Spa another classic circuit. Can't wait.

FINAL RESULTS:

1) Fernando Alonso - McLaren-Mercedes

2) Lewis Hamilton - McLaren-Mercedes

3) Kimi Raikkonen - Ferrari

4) Nick Heidfeld - BMW

5) Robert Kubica - BMW

6) Nico Rosberg - Williams - Toyota

7) Heikki Kovalainen - Renault

8) Jenson Button - Honda
