Possibility of Rain forcast for Monza:
Ferrari driver Massa said: "There is that possibility. This season we have already had to deal with rain, we'll see. I'd prefer if it didn't."
You don't say...
I really hope he's dissapointed....Just to even things up

McLaren need to make sure both Hamilton & Kovo are front row... Lewis will need a rear guard into the 1st chicane if it's going to be that wet....
It all hinges on Q1-Q3's weather, if it's wet then Lewis, Kimi & Kovo will prob sew up the 1st 3 spots, with Massa fighting to hold onto 4th from Alonso and Webber...

Looks like its time to switch to the dry tyres. Bourdais is now on the pace. Very finally balanced between the dry and inter tyres at this stage.

Loving the commentary. None of the usual gaffes! 
Seriously you can actually hear the wheel spin and rev-limiters much better without the know-it-alls in the commentary box bleating on.

Any theories as to why Hamilton didn't take advantage of trying out the wet and then drying track earlier today, when a wet weekend appears to be on the cards?

Because he is just 'too' good.
To be honest, they tested there 2 weeks ago and Hamilton is no slouch in the wet. Why waste the engine mileage?And he has just gone fastest.

It would have been good for him to get a feel for braking into those pesky chicanes though if it does turn wet again on Sat/Sun.
