Italian Grand Prix Monza, Italy. Both Mercedes score points after advancing positions in a competitive race. Nico was able to gain two positions and Michael three after successful starts.
Both drivers felt they got maximum performance out of their cars. Nico finished in fifth and Michael in ninth. Impressive starts propelled Nico from seventh to fourth while Michael surged into the top ten.
Nico had a chance to hang on to his fourth place position but lost it to the late charging Vettel. Rosberg had stiff competition at the start of the race with Kubica and near the end with Vettel. Nico was basically satisfied with his performance but wasn't happy losing fourth to the Red Bull of Vettel's. Although he was satisfied leap-frogging Robert in the Drivers Championship points.
Michael drove a clean smooth race and was happy with his start, but was less pleased when both Webber and Vettel managed to get passed after strong defensive moves.
Ross Brawn felt Mercedes had respectable results having two cars in the points.

Given that MS is half a second slower than nico, our car would have to be at least half a second faster than RB or Macca for MS to stand any chance- and that aint gonna happen.
He's just a waste of a seat.
