I have to tell you, I am very impressed with Hamilton. His pass outside pass on Massa and his inside pass on Raikonnen at the first corner was amazing. But Alonso is up to his usual antics, what is up with him not acknowledging the team at the checkered flag?

Oh ya! I saw that! Hamilton has been impressive. And btw, I sense that Alonso will not be back. Though, if you saw the post race conference, they were whispering to each other for most of the time when Raikkonen was answering his questions.

As for the payment, it had not been made as of last Tuesday. But yes, with Mallya getting in more formally, things might be pushed in faster.

It is official. Alonso and Hamilton have just completed a McLaren 1,2 at Monza.

Formula One awaits the financial guarantee of Rs 60-200 crore or a letter of credit towards the licence fee from India by September 30.

The Speed TV crew also reported that a sum was already paid by India (30 Million dollars? ). And of course Mallya now owning Spyker would mean that there is a bigger push to get a GP to India.

And I can’t wait for Thursday for the WMSC decision on McLaren.
