PEREZ - 2ND, HAMILTON - 1ST, ALONSO - 3RD
The last of the European races was run in Italy. Another old track which I tend to like better than the new ones. As so often happens in Formula One a driver gets in the lead and stays there. Which was the case again this weekend with Lewis Hamilton. Clear sailing all the way, BUT if the race had been any longer he would have lost it to Sergio Perez who was only 4 seconds behind him and gaining. This Perez drives like thunder. If his car holds together just keeps moving up, even on bald tires. He clearly had the best car in this race. He started in 12th, and as I said, was gaining on the leader at the end. He will clearly be a winner some day and is champion material. Would Ferrari be interested in him...probably....would he want to take a second seat to Alonso.....probably not. Alonso came in third and collected enough points to keep him in the lead on the championship points.
