Vettel the next Schumi?

The Italian Grand Prix. Tifosi going wild. Ferrari did win the race even though Massa finished 6th and Kimi even lower down the order. Vettel in an STR Ferrari won the race from pole position. Youngest ever on pole, youngest ever to win a race and it showed in his baby-faced innocence. I can barely believe that the lad is a year younger than I am and already arrived on the global scene.

It was a hard fought race for Hamilton, Kimi, Fisichella - who gave hopes to lots of Indians after making it into Q2 in qualifying but it was not to be as a result of a collision with Coulthard, Massa - showing yet again that he can be the world champion title holder for Ferrari this year.

Hamilton now has a very slender lead going into the last 4 races, just one solitary point. Seems like this season will go down to the wire again. Next is the Singapore Grand Prix, the first ever night race. Will be quite a spectacle. Don't forget to catch up with the action in 2 weeks times. Meanwhile Hamilton's appeal will come to court and will decide drivers standing in the championship.
