as they cheer for the Ferrari duo of Fernando Alonso and Felipe Massa who haven't been far behind chasing the pacy Red Bulls either.
With the introduction of two DRS zones, and the KERS technology to aid overtaking, the fans around the world expect nothing but a spectacular race this weekend. The championship contenders are just as eager. Having already dominated at the high speed circuit of Spa in Belgium, the Red Bull racers hope to increase their dominance in Monza, Felipe Massa is adamant to prove that he hasn't forgotten how to win races, Fernando Alonso plans to emulate his Prancing Horse's home ground victory from last year, Lewis Hamilton seeks redemption from his Belgium race while Micheal Schumacher is keen to prove that he still has what it takes to win a Formula 1 race.
With most of the cars running a low downforce setup to aid top end speeds, the real showdown is expected at turns 1, 4 and 8 where a high speed slipstream run will be followed by breath-taking outbraking maneuvers.
The unexpected weather change in Monza, however, can produce a lottery for the master strategists of the midfield running teams who wouldn't mind switching strategies blatantly, perhaps even resulting in unexpected podium positions.
All in all, Formula 1 fans look to cherish another race weekend, with the championship, mathematically atleast, still wide open, as it remains to see how the changeable weather conditions and the track day drama play their part in the outcome of the race.
