After this victory I'm eagerly waiting for the renewal to happen, he should stay in the team.
+1, big time.
I'm a McLaren fan first and foremost, but I'd hate to see Lewis driving for someone else.
I think we can class this as a fully clean weekend for him too, can we not? Onwards, to both championships!

Lewis did us all proud, I can't wait to say "I was there for one of Lewis' championship victories"

It seems there was a hug, i must have missed that. Cheers for the link.
Damn. Not criticizing you but this is where we are at. Analyzing hugs, you don't get this in proper (American) football.

“Winning at Monza is one of the greatest experiences of my Formula 1 career. I absolutely love this place: I’ve been coming to Italy to race since I was 13 years old and I just love the culture, the food and the people.
“Since I started in Formula 1, Monza has been one of the races I always wanted to win at – it’s such an incredible, historic circuit and all the great racing drivers have won here. To finally put my name on that list makes me feel extremely proud, but also very humble.
“Our car has been fantastic all weekend, and it was nice to have a relaxed grand prix with no troubles. I was out on my own for most of the race and just tried to manage the gap behind me. I was cruising at the end, but, once I heard that Sergio [Perez] had got past Fernando [Alonso], I had to push a little to keep the cushion over second place.
“The race was very unfortunate for Jenson – we were running first and second at the time and it would have been great for the team if we could have finished like that.
“This championship is proving to be so unpredictable – and I’m so grateful that we’ve got a good car and that we’re in the fight. We’ve got seven more races on the calendar. We should enjoy today, but this victory is just one step. Tomorrow, we’ll start all over again, for Singapore.”

Lol I wasn't analysing the hug, I'm not a person who subscribes to the conspiracy theories, and I generally think F1 has become too soft. Just didn't think there was oneDamn. Not criticizing you but this is where we are at. Analyzing hugs, you don't get this in proper (American) football.

The next two races are good Lewis tracks, he goes well at Singapore and he goes well at Japan. The car was good in Hungary so it should deal with Singapore fine, and we know its a good high speed car so Japan should be good as well.
The Sling is defo a Lewis track..... very technical and a lot of emphasis on the brakes - but I wouldn't be surprised to see JB do very, very well at Suzuka. Fast and flowing.... right up his street.

I'm an Alonso fan but I cannot avoid not disliking when Hamilton wins. Nice win today.
Well I'm a fan of both of them as drivers and it was a great recovery from Fernando to get on the podium from 10th. Let's hope for an epic LH vs FA battle over the last few races

Please me if this has been asked before but what exactly is written on Lewis' helmet that he made a point of pointing at after the win?
I could be wrong. But it looked like he was tapping on the rocket red patch of his helmet. Read into that what you will!

Martin Whitmarsh, McLaren team principal
“Lewis drove a perfect race here at Monza today, and duly took a well-deserved victory - his 20th grand prix win and McLaren’s 180th. In truth, he was in total control throughout all 53 laps, and was never really threatened. We should have scored a one-two finish, but Jenson was deprived of an easy second place by a fuel system problem. That’s frustrating for him and frustrating for us, but the important thing is that our car is a winner. We’ve now won three Grands Prix in a row, and both our drivers are on top form. Lewis has now closed up to second place in the drivers’ world championship, with seven Grands Prix still to run. It was his third victory of the season, and Vodafone McLaren Mercedes’ fifth. The momentum is with us, and the drivers’ world championship crown is well within Lewis’s grasp. In the constructors’ championship, too, we’re in good shape. Winning is what Vodafone McLaren Mercedes is all about. In Singapore in two weeks’ time, we’re planning to do some more of it.”
It sounds like McLaren are putting their eggs in one basket now. If Hamilton does sign for Mercedes in the near future then he needs to be far enough ahead of Button that he is McLaren's only chance of the title. I thought he had done that after Hungary but then suddenly Button was 16 points behind post-Spa. Now that the pre-Spa gap has been restored Hamilton needs to focus on finishing every race until the end of the season.
What I'm really hoping for is a good, solid race in Singapore. It doesn't need to be spectacular, but finishing on the podium and ahead of Alonso are the two keys. He has won two other times this season and suffered a DNF in the following race both times. This cannot happen again.
Finally, I'm so happy that he's taken that elusive win at Monza. Richly deserved and a real career highlight.

technical reasons which I am sure most of you are all familiar with now
I have noticed the split of the threads in parts when they reach a certain length, I assume it's a bug but I'm curious, what happens exactly?

Winning at Interlagos would mean so much to Lewis given the emotional roller coaster he went through there in 2007 and 2008. However Mclaren haven't had a competitive car there the past years.
Yes they have.

I think I would put my money on Lewis for WDC this year, he is on serious form at the moment, and the Mclaren seems to be holding its best car spot as well.

I'm a huge fan, but I've learned not to take anything for granted with Lewis

Did Lewis say something in Italian on the podium?
Yes, he said "ciao a tutti". He tweeted in Italian as well!
