UP...!!!
A good track.
Monza...wow...and Italian supermodels...
ahhh the old days... 
Remembering back in the early-mid 90’s watching ESPN early Sunday morning. They had the F1 circuit live [I think], 500cc cycle roadracing, Busch Grand National, NASCAR, and later in the day on the old TNN you could always see some hillbillies trying to drive a motorized bathtub across a swamp! [Honestly!] Ahh, the good ol’ days!
That’s where that French guy died. I saw it in the movie.
yup, and now espn sucks
it pizzed me off that it rained all weekend here at the Glen while they filmed and the only footage that made it into the movie was the trophy... GRRRRRR!!!
Everything good just went straight to hell, didn’t it? Such a shame!
I saw that movie at the Vogue Theater with my older brothers when I was seven years old. Cut out the boring talk parts and you have a damn good racing movie.
So what do you think this weekend; more Mercedes dominance or home cooking for the red cars?
w00t!!!
LOL... flip a coin
I’m leaning toward Vettel. It’s home cooking.
I would like to see the Italians restore and improve the safety of those high banks and invite NASCAR over, or at least let the Euro racers try their hand at oval racing.
wouldn’t THAT be something!

Italian GP: Drivers told to keep worries over Pirelli tyres private
Leading Formula 1 drivers have been asked to stop criticising tyre supplier Pirelli, at a meeting with the sport’s boss Bernie Ecclestone.
Lewis Hamilton, Fernando Alonso, Nico Rosberg and Sebastian Vettel were told not to make their concerns public.
Ecclestone said: “If any one of them has got problems, they should talk to the people making the problems.”
Pirelli F1 boss Paul Hembery said the drivers should make their comments “in the right environment”.
The move follows two high-speed blow-outs at the last race in Belgium.
Ferrari driver Vettel was heavily critical of Pirelli after the Belgian race, in which he suffered a tyre failure at 200mph shortly after the high-speed Eau Rouge swerves with two laps to go.
Rosberg, who is Hamilton’s team-mate at Mercedes, had a similar failure in practice at the Spa-Francorchamps track.
Before this weekend’s Italian Grand Prix, Hamilton had called Pirelli’s decision to impose stricter operating guidelines on tyres “a disaster”, before the limits were eased on Friday morning.
McLaren’s Alonso had said the need to introduce the guidelines, which imposed higher tyre pressures on precautionary grounds, was “strange” in a high-tech sport such as F1.
Hembery said the drivers should express any concerns “in their team and with us. They should express their opinions in the right manner.”
Vettel described the meeting as “useful” but said he could say “nothing more”.
Rosberg said the meeting was “very constructive”, but added: “I am not going to say anything. It is not a good idea.”
Asked whether he was happy with the relationship between the drivers and Pirelli, the German said: “I am pleased with the effort that has gone in since Spa to try to understand it and to put in place all the different measures to further improve safety.”
Pirelli chairman Marco Tronchetti Provera, Hembery, and leading team bosses Christian Horner, Toto Wolff, Niki Lauda and Maurizio Arrivebene, of Red Bull, Mercedes and Ferrari were also at the meeting.
Ecclestone hinted after the meeting that Pirelli would remain as F1’s supplier.
The company’s current contract expires at the end of 2016 and it is in competition with Michelin for the new three-year deal starting in 2017.
Michelin has stated that it will only supply tyres if it can produce rubber on which drivers can push hard all race, which is contrary to Ecclestone’s desire for tyres that degrade quickly to promote more pit stops.
The decision will be made by Ecclestone, after both companies were approved by governing body the FIA on technical and sporting grounds.
“We’re not going to let them go; they’re doing a good job,” Ecclestone said.
“I said to them a long time ago I don’t want a tyre that’s going to last the whole race.
“They do the very best they can with what they’ve been asked to do.”
But Hembery said that Pirelli would not remain in the sport if it was not allowed to do proper testing with the drivers - and said the company wanted the top drivers to be involved in that testing.
“””We can’t carry on in the sport if we can’t do our work,””” he said.
like there’s no other manufacturer ready and willing to take yer place!!!
