Let's start the race thread shall we, first practice is out of the way already. Looks like a classic Monza two-by-two at the moment: Mercedes, then Ferrari, then Red Bull, then Force India. A bit more mixed up after that. McLaren were practicing slipstreaming and Alonso managed to pull Vandoorne to 9th on the timesheets.

I think if Mercedes don't take a 1-2 here, they'll be very disappointed.
