Given how many people Maldonado has put into the barriers without getting banned at all, I would suggest Grosjean counts himself unlucky that the stewards haven't been consistent.

It is a harsh punishment but to be fair Grosjean has had a few first lap incidents this season.

Hopefully that stance from the FIA will get through to Maldanado that this is his very final warning and if there's any rough-housing from him at Monza, then Maldanado too ought to be slapped with a race ban for Singapore.

Eddie Jordan reporting that Hamilton and Mercedes close to agreeing terms on a deal for him to replace Schumached in 2013...

It's been denied. Hamilton would be going backwards if he went to Mercedes.

All McLaren front row for today's race at Monza. Lewis on Pole, Jenson second. Hope these lads can rain on the parade of the tifosi, the most biased and ignorant fans in F1.

Another "good news, bad news" weekend for McLaren. Everything seems to be falling into place for Alonso.

Oh, and Rob Smedley - worst coded messages ever

Once again as the season goes on the Red Bulls get stronger and stronger.They look like they have easily the best car going into the final few races of the season and it's only a matter of time before Vettel overtakes Alonso at the top of the standings.

Was there ever any doubt that Red Bull had the best car?

McLaren should have signed Hulkenberg instead of Perez.
