MONZA TESTING // DAY THREE

Day three of testing for the Italian Grand Prix at Monza is in the books. With our forthcoming trip to Italy (two days and counting), we have been keeping an eye on Monza, sure to be well informed when we arrive. After a bit of illness that kept him absent for a day, Lewis Hamilton climbed back into his McLaren MP4-23, and is atop the board after the third day of testing. Hamilton managed lap times 0.4 seconds faster than Ferrari's Kimi Raikkonen and a solid 0.7 seconds faster than Force India's, Giancarlo Fisichella. Friday marked the last day of testing for all teams, and drivers will not see the track again until practice begins on Friday, September 12th (which we will be present for). I suppose it's time to start packing...
