Nice one Lewis, half a second on your team mate is awesome, Rosberg not happy.

Tony.

Indeed, and I've got some points in the bag for Pole

Ladies first anything else would be bad form. If I win however, second is the first of the losers

Jenson Button will not race in Formula 1 in 2017 but will remain with McLaren as an ambassador.

The 2009 world champion will work with the team and could race again in 2018, having signed a two-year contract.

Belgian Stoffel Vandoorne will be promoted from reserve driver to partner double world champion Fernando Alonso.

"To avoid any confusion, forget the word 'retirement'."

McLaren have arranged an "innovative three-driver" plan for next year - which sees Button take an ambassadorial role and Stoffel Vandoorne take his seat.

McLaren have the option to bring Button back in 2018.

If Lewis Hamilton wins today, he will become only the second man to claim three successive Italian GP victories.

Juan Manuel Fangio achieved the feat between 1953 and 1955.

'Deal with it'
Posted at 16:57

Daniel Ricciardo had a bit of a whinge about traffic earlier, and now it's Max Verstappen's turn to complain about it after he gets held up by Pacal Wehrlein.

"I am always in traffic," says the teenager.

"It's a street circuit, mate. Deal with it."

That's him told.
