It is the final race of the European season, which means a trip to Monza for the Italian Grand Prix! And, both BBC and Sky are live. Whilst it is indeed the end of the European season, there are of course two more races that are held in the daytime for European viewers, that being Singapore and Abu Dhabi.
The only notable mention this week is that I believe this is Allan McNish’s last race of the season with the Radio 5 Live team. It was noted back in March that McNish would only be with the team for six races with Italy being his last. Whether he will be back in the paddock with them for 2014 remains to be seen. After the race concludes, it is the fourth edition of F1 Legends this year, this time featuring Alain Prost as Steve Rider’s guest.
