The look on Michael’s face said it all. He loved winning that race so much that I think it will refresh and reinvigorate his season. Sure the tires were a factor but there is a massive aero upgrade coming to the Ferrari in two weeks. Maybe he’ll be able to keep on top of things. Although you’d have to say that Renault and Michelan will want to win in France quite badly.

On a personal level I will be sitting in a bar in Italy watching the race so I think I’ll be rooting for the Ferraris or at the very least the resurgent Fisi or Truli.

On the commentating front I think Truli was a deserving driver of the day. And while James still made mistakes, and still said stupid things. He did seem more excited this week. But then it’s easy to get excited when the racing was that much fun.
