[li][font=Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]After a commanding win in Hungary Deki becomes the first driver this season to win 2 races consecutively. Can any driver stop Deki winning? [/font][/li]
[li][font=Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]F1racer09 scores his first points of the season at Round 9, however, Renault are still rooted to the bottom of the constructors. Jume's first podium sees Mercedes close the gap to Toro Rosso by 28 points, is this to little to late for Mercedes? Also, who do you think will claim 3rd in the constructors, and will Renault leave that 10th spot?[/font][/li]
[li][font=Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]Monza is one of the hardest tracks to pull away, and is also one of the simplest tracks. Could we see certain drivers who aren't usually fighting for the win or podium, fighting for it this track? Call out those drivers![/font][/li]

1. Yes, i believe Michael and Falcon can both win races. They are the only other 2 drivers i think have the pace to win, Falcon has shown he can win it without any luck (Spain), Michael has shown that his pace, on some tracks (e.g Britain) is better than Deki's. But i think if Deki wants to win the remaining six races he can, i dont like saying it, but i think he could win the title by Round 14.

2. Yes, I think Michael and Falcon will extend their lead over Mercedes come the end of the season. No pressure, but i think it all depends on how Jume performs, if Mercedes are to make a comeback that is. Assuming every driver involved races the remaining races i think Me and Mich (Williams) can comfortably secure 3rd, but i imagine many drivers will be missing races over the next few weeks. I can't see how they can get themselves of the bottom tbh, they are already 20 or so points down on 9th (Red Bull) and i dont think they will score 20 points over the last 6 races.

3.I think Hari might challenge for the win, Ascari is easy to cut, but elsewhere i dont think you can cut that easily, and Hari is a monster on the traction and i think monza is a traction heavy track. I remember Neyo was very fast here last season, so maybe he will challenge for the win, which i would like to see . I think Gary will be further up than usual, he was very quick here last season. Im hoping i can challenge higher up than i usually do, but i still dont know if i will be racing xD

1. More than likely. Whilst V5 is quicker, they both have different pressures. V5 knows that in all liklihood Waluigi will finish all races. Different pressures.
2. I think this track will be a huge leveller. I would say someone like Jamez and Me are going to be quick and I would say that Macca will run better than usual, Whether that means he DNFs for 11th or comes 3rd remains to be seen.
I will also predict I come 2nd. Im on garden leave so will make sure of it. 

3. V5, Oldskool3000, Robert

1.yes I think Michael and falcon can both go on a run just like deki has but deki has found his form at the best time and know in my opinion is favorite to win

2.I don't see any other team but toro rosso winning the constructors unless things go horrible wrong and don't see Renault improving unless Adam gets demoted to d2 and is replaced by someone who is actually good at driving as I can't see yhyy carrying it by himself

3.I think rikk could challenge at this track as he has been very impressive last couple of races carrying sauber at the same time I really like this track so hopefully I challenge further up the grid I also expect Sam to be quick like her like last season

 

[Jume96]

1. The next one is Monza, so drivers like Michael, Haribo are capables to beat him.

2. The constructors championship depends of my performance, so I am gonna say that Mercedes will comeback.

3. Haribo and Louis will be there at the top

 

[deki106]

1. lol i wouldn't say that after two races in a row just look at michael and falcon and there u have two guys who can beat me
2. I do think we can do a comeback but that will be reeeaaally difficult renault won't get out the bottom i do think and i do really hope that the williams team claims p3 but that only happens if the retard named samuel gets his game back in time look and if mich actually practices
3. If i remember correctly i do think that rick got pole here once and he might be able to get the best out of that sauber again and get a podium
I also think that neyo could be really strong around here because it is a lot about consistency and the track is not as easy as you might think especially on the limit

NeWaluigi clings onto his lead as V5HRL closes the gap to 3 points after his win at Hungary. Could we see a swich at the top of the drivers championship after Round 10?

Yes, I think V5 might just manage to get ahead here.

Monza is arguably one of the least challenging tracks on the calendar, could we see some upsets this week? Any drivers finishing higher up than usual?

Being less challenging may be a good thing. It should tighten up the field significantly and put more of an emphasis on some good wheel to wheel racing being the deciding factor during the race. Oldschool has improved a lot since last season so I expect him to be right up there in qualifying around 3rd or 4th and possibly battling for 2nd. Another driver who tends to excel when we don't expect is Robert. I think he might be on for a podium if the front runners aren't careful enough.

Predict your podium finishers for Round 10 and who will take pole?

V5 Pole
Podium: V5 cruises to the finish, Waluigi next, and then Oldschool

1. I think it will go all the way to the last race.
2. I like keeping my foot on the accelerator.
3. Not sure could be anyone.
