Hamilton received a 25-second penalty for "cutting a corner and gaining an advantage" despite handing the lead straight back to Kimi Raikkonen.

Ex-world champion Lauda said: "This is the worst judgement in the history of F1, the most perverted judgement I have ever seen. Hamilton did nothing wrong."

Monza is the oldest and fastest circuit on this season's Formula One calendar, and Honda driver Button enjoyed a third-place finish there in 2004.

He said: "The Italian fans are really passionate about motor racing. You can sense the atmosphere and excitement around the circuit and Monza also has a real history about it."

The Ferrari star saw his hopes of a fourth successive Belgian Grand Prix victory end with a smash into a wall at the Spa circuit on the penultimate lap.

He said: "It's the second race in a row I've failed to score. The championship situation is what it is, but I'm not the sort to give up that easily."

The Renault driver was fourth for most of the race and had looked set for third when Kimi Raikkonen crashed, but a late-race tyre change proved costly.

He told autosport.com: "It's a good result for the team. We have shown we can be the third strongest team."

The Yamaha ace last raced a Ducati during the 2004 season when he rode a customer 999 with the Renegade team, claiming six race wins.

Italian Michel Fabrizio, current team-mate to Bayliss, is expected to be retained to race alongside Haga.

Two top-10 finishes may see him crowned champion and he said: "Winning is a possibility, that would be fantastic.

"However Croft is not a favourite circuit of mine. It has not been particularly kind to me in the past but hopefully my luck might change."

The Norwegian-born star was keen to sample British racing for the first time but a shoulder injury means he has been forced to reduce his schedule.

Hammers boss Jon Cook said: "I had a long chat with Rune on Friday and he is genuinely disappointed at not being able to join us."

Franchetti set for GP

Berwick's Italian star Guglielmo Franchetti has been handed a wildcard entry into the Grand Prix in his home country on September 27.

Franchetti, who was signed by the Bandits as an unknown talent, has impressed with his recent performances.

Boss Peter Waite said: "This is a great reward for the lad. He is a spectacular rider and it will be a really great experience for him."
