    OK time is up for us but as soon as anything is announced from the stewards inquiry, we will have the breaking story online. 

    For now, I'll point you in the direction of Andrew Benson's race report, which can be found here, and don't forget to watch the highlights on BBC One at 17:05, it is going to be well worth a watch.

    What a dramatic day! See you again for Singapore in two weeks.

    Good timing...

    Di B:  I'd like to know how close to an F1 race the tyre pressures are checked & if the teams have enough time to rectify an issue!

    Rob:  Williams weren't disqualified having different tyres on so nor should Merc. A fine would be more fitting with maybe a grid penalty.

    Adam May:  If Hamilton is disqualified what happens to Rosberg? Grid penalty at the next race? Race ban?

    This is a great picture of Felipe Massa. Ruddy love Felipe. Such a top bloke.

    Aidy Muttram:  Interesting that teams are penalised for trying to avoid tyre blow outs. Weren't they told the tyres were 'safe' at Spa?

    Benedict Salido:  A breach is a breach. RIC was stripped off his podium last year. Now that it's HAM, he's exempted?

    Lisa Hrabec:  Why was it acceptable to take away Ricciardo's podium in Australia but unthinkable to do the same to Mercedes @ #ItalianGP, external

  6. Vettel doesn't want to talk about tyrespublished at 15:46

    Sebastian Vettel, who finished second, has been asked about the investigation into Mercedes' tyre pressures by Sky Sports:

    "Look, I think it's not fair that you hammer questions at the drivers because it's not directly our decision.

    "This race happened, we've all been through the podium ceremony, which was fantastic. It's a bit of a shame that we've started to lose the focus of the result.

    "Please, stick your microphone in someone else's face."

    He wasn't angry when he said it, but still, Seb, very harsh...

  7. Massive step in wrong direction - Rosbergpublished at 15:41

    The outcome of the stewards inquiry is not of primary concern for Nico Rosberg, you would imagine, after a hugely disappointing end to his race.

    He retired late on with smoke billowing out of his Mercedes, and he said: "It is a massive step in the wrong direction. I keep going. Giving up doesn't exist for me."

    Tom Boddington:  Yes it's a small margin, but rules are rules and Mercedes broke them. They should be punished.

    Stuart Humphrey:  When were the pressures checked? If wrong why were they not told to correct?

    Hamish Warnes:  Feel that the FIA has to be strict when it comes to tyre regulations especially considering the recent safety concerns.

  9. League of his ownpublished at 15:37

    It was a great day for Sebastian Vettel as he secured second for Ferrari, but was also a historic one for the German.

    He became the all-time leading points scorer in F1 history as he moved on to 1,796.

    Chris Hawkins:  Shouldn't the team get fined rather than the driver, as it was not him who made the decision or error of pressure.

    Cammy Bouse:  Are people really trying to say they shouldn't be disqualified?! Especially after all the safety concerns over tyres!

    Martin Wilson:  Symonds being inconsistent calling for Hamilton DSQ, Williams ran mismatched tyres & no DSQ.

    Shayan S:  It's a shame for Hamilton but if Mercedes have broken the rules then they've got to pay the price, no question about it.

    Ben Leonard:  Of course Williams are calling for disqualification! Then they'll have another driver on podium and in more points!  

    Ed Stevens:  I'm not surprised Williams are pushing for a Hamilton DSQ. That would move Bottas up to 3rd!

    Well, now we wait to find out the outcome of the stewards inquiry. At the moment, Lewis Hamilton is the Italian Grand Prix winner.

    His seventh win of the season means he has 40 wins from 160 starts, compared to Ayrton Senna's 41 in 161 starts.

    Hamilton leads by 53 point, he only led by this much in 2014 after winning the double-points Abu Dhabi GP.

    Andrew Ebling:  Is F1 really shambolic to the point of penalising or excluding a driver over 0.3PSI of tyre pressure?

    CJ Ed:  If Hamilton is disqualified & Ferrari is gifted a win - in Monza!!! - smacks of conspiracy to me. Just saying.

    Ben Murden:  I had 26psi less than I should have in my tyres the other day. It definitely didn't make me any faster...  

  15. Tyres not reason we won - Hamiltonpublished at 15:21

    Here's a bit more from Lewis Hamilton's Sky interview:

    "Formula 1 is about running to the bare minimum. For whatever reason today, 0.3psi - if that's what it was - 0.3psi.

    "It makes no difference to the car, particularly on one tyre. I'm sure Pirelli could prove it. That's not the reason we won today.

    "I don't know when any decisions will be made because I haven't spoken to anyone."  

  16. Hamilton not worriedpublished at 15:18

    Lewis Hamilton is talking to Sky Sports F1 right now and is asked about the tyre pressure investigation.

    He says: "No need to worry. I've had an amazing weekend. What will be, will be.

    "I don't know what to say about it, it's not my job. Today I've been so happy with how the car has been in the race."

    Williams head of performance Rob Smedley is now talking to Sky and agrees with his colleague Pat Symonds about the potential punishment for Mercedes:

    "It's a safety issue - as far as I know, it's a disqualification."
