Sebastian Vettel landed yet another blow in this increasingly one sided season as he guided his Red Bull to victory on a track that the Milton Keynes-based team were expected to struggle.

Elsewhere, Michael Schumacher frustrated McLaren as he and Lewis Hamilton engaged in a long-running duel, while Jenson Button battled it out with Ferrari’s Fernando Alonso and Jaime Alguersuari claimed an impressive 7^th place – and now Formula1Fancast is here to bring you the best reaction from those involved in the heart of the action at Monza .

Sebastian Vettel: “The podium is unbelievable. You feel so blessed. The view is incredible, with all the people below. The car was amazing in qualifying – and ever better today. It’s very special for me to win here again.”

Michael Schumacher: “It was a fun afternoon. I think so [my racing was clean and fair]. As far as I was concerned there was no request to see the stewards, so I guess all is in order.”

Lewis Hamilton: “It was a good race. I got some points and I finished, so I can’t complain at all.” (On his duel with Schumacher): “It was racing”.

Fernando Alonso: Well done to the whole team. There was a lot of stress racing here in Italy. But we did the best job possible. It’s a great achievement to get on the podium.

Stefano Domenicali:  ”We stood up to McLaren, Fernando was great at defending his position. It’s too bad for Felipe, who could have come among the first if he hadn’t been knocked off the circuit at the beginning. Alonso? He made an extraordinary start, now we have to provide him with an even more powerful car”.

Jenson Button: “It was a really fun race, fighting with Lewis, with Michael, and with Fernando. It was a good race, it wasn’t for the lead, which was a shame but it’s always very difficult when you are down in seventh.”

“I had a tough start to the race but it was a lot of fun, and the atmosphere here is electric. We have to get things together on race weekends and then hopefully we can be challenging Seb. I don’t know if we could have challenged Seb today. It’s a pity we had such a poor start. It is a little issue but it can cost you a lot of time.”

“We did a great job with the pitstops. It is great to get a second but you always want a lot more.”

Ross Brawn: “Michael drove a fantastic race, we know we haven’t got the fastest car but we have seen everything we know about Michael Schumacher. The FIA were watching it [the incident with Lewis Hamilton] and asking us to be careful. It is a balance between racing and not overstepping the mark. They asked us to be careful, which we were. It was great racing – and great for F1.”

Paul di Resta: “We lost a few positions, just unlucky at the restarts. We were in the wrong place at wrong time. But we went aggressively on tyre strategy and extracted as much as we had. The four points is good for the constructors championship. I’m happy going to fly-aways.”
