ITALIAN GRAND PRIX RESULTSAfter a delay of four days (sorry, guys!) here are the results from the controversial and exciting Italian Grand Prix!
Literally everyone predicted Vettel to win, so when he smashed into Hamilton's side at the second chicane the chances of a high scoring round were instantly out the window. In the end it came down to Hamilton vs. Raikkonen, and who would come second. Hamilton won, and that gave the win in our competition to everyone who picked Kimi for second - and it was a lot. Congratulations to cm97, Mayhem, Remmirath, TheDamus, Mod Titanium, Mod Blue, Lotus49, Exediron, robins13 for the victory!

Individual Standings - Round Fourteen
No big changes in the table, and since I'm writing these so long after the fact I'll just do it quick:
No position changes in the top five. Remmirath and Mayhem gain a place each at the expense of Mod Onyx. Jenson's Understeer stays put in 8th, with his teammate Exediron now right behind him in 9th. Espo falls to the bottom of the top ten.
Further down, Bentrovato loses a place as well, falling to 11th. Mod Blue and Icemanjee1 switch places for 13th and 14th.
Team Standings - Round Fourteen
In the team standings, it's a good day for Sand Bag'n: they score the full 6 points on offer this round and extend their lead over Bwoah Steering Wheel by a further 3 points. No Limit Excedrin Racing keeps pace with BSW, also scoring 3 points.
It's a worse day for the defending champions Jalopy Racing, who scored no points and lose a place in the standings to Crisis in Management. The Also Rans also scored no points, and also lose a place, coincidentally to Management in Crisis. They are now joined by Drive Sauber, who scored 6 points and share the round win with Sand Bag'n.
At the back, Lotus-CC Racing scores 4 points, but fails to gain on Drive Sauber once again.
CHAMPIONSHIP PICTUREWith the top three all scoring exactly the same thing in the last three rounds, the championship picture really hasn't changed in a very long time. The standings are so tight that everyone down to 12th position could take the lead with a Perfect Podium, but since things are so unpredictable that PP will be very hard to come by indeed.
NEXT RACESingapore is up next, another track believed to not favor Mercedes... however, Mercedes has won at most of those tracks this year, so will anyone be bold enough to actually bet on Hamilton for the win this time?
(Full disclosure, I seriously considered predicting Hamilton for Italy, and I regret not doing it!)
