Blundell's view: Italian Grand Prix.

Tuesday, 4th September 2007

Mark Blundell previews the action ahead of the Italian Grand Prix at Monza and predicts that the battle between Ferrari and McLaren will be close.

At least though they though could finish, which is more than could be said for Red Bull’s Mark Webber, who was the sole retiree in Turkey, with hydraulic issues.

It is an unfortunate scenario for him as he seems to be plagued with numerous mechanical problems and so forth. Reliability issues must be the bane of his life.

He is making progress though and I think the pairing of him and David Coulthard has worked very well over the season so far. There is no reason to feel it shouldn’t be a stronger combination with a new improved package for next season either. As much as it must be disheartening then I am sure they will be some positives in the future.

So to my prediction, I am going to put Lewis on pole, as I believe he will pull out an extraordinary lap in qualifying.

In the race though, I think he will have to settle for the runners-up spot, sandwiched between Kimi and Felipe, with the ‘ice-man’ on the top step of the podium. After that I’ll plump for Alonso, Kubica and Trulli.

Enjoy the race...
