Now watch the Ferraris take each other out.
It almost happened! Holy shit…!
That would be so painfully ironic. Imagine going from P1 and P3 in qualification to a lap 49 DNF.
I was so worried the entire time
That was an unusual rookie mistake by Hamilton. 🤔
5 second penalty felt light give he just took a constructor rival out of the points.
Yeah bring back the drive thru penalties.
That collision was 100% on Lewis. Piastri is such a smooth operator.
Alex Wurz said that Piastri left a bit too little room - but yeah, Lewis definitely is the one who caused the collision
Wasn’t Piastri going straight on the right side of the track and Lewis veering to the right? How is he supposed to give more room?
Yeah he had a few inches to the grass, not sure where he was supposed to go there
I expect so much more from him tbh.
Leclerc’s performance the last laps laps was dismal. He completely lost his head, heavily overdrove his car and tires in corners and under braking and losing it entirely a couple of times.
I think he’s a bit frustrated. Ferrari have kept going backwards in his time there, and it’s got to hurt to see Max, who he kept up with almost 1:1 in all the junior formulas, winning everything and taking every record.
But yeah, his driving at the end was abysmal. The tifosi would have lost it if he took out Sainz in T1 of the final lap
Sainz seems to constantly move twice without consequences.
Isn’t that legal so long as it’s not done under braking?
Correct me if I’m wrong but from what I know it’s allowed to move once before braking and not allowed under braking.
You would know more than me there. I can’t tell you one way or the other.
Guess we both must die stupid then ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Such an unfortunate turn of events
He is allowed to move back up (before the braking zone) while leaving a car width on the outside.
Sainz, Leclerc and Perez basically doing identical laptimes. Let’s ignore Max and it’s all really tight
That describes the 2023 season really.
True story.
Crazy to think not too long ago Hamilton was lapping Albon in a Red Bull. Now Albon is ahead of Hamilton in a Williams
It makes me happy to see his recent success. He’s out driving his car every weekend.
Almost 30 years of watching F1, and there’s still something new 😄
race control being confused lol
Is this really news though?
Braking late and running over the chicane is the defense maneuver of today?
Monza doesn’t exactly encourage overtaking

I was expecting a dull race for some reason, but it turned out to be a pretty fun one

Almost bit too quick for it to be an unforced mechanical failure. Bet someone forgot to connect something, or unplug something.
Rogue mechanics jumping onto the grid lol
Kinda looked like Alfa to me.
I thought it was someone from Aston - unless the Alfa lot have different gear this week with the livery change.
Someone is getting a penalty
I haven’t seen anything noted by the stewards yet. I’m surprised though, I figured for sure it would be an infringement. Maybe it won’t be looked at until after the race.
It sounds like the teams were told, but not the people on the gates, so it might have been ok
I’m excited to see the new and innovative strategies Ferrari will use to completely fuck up their race.
Switch Leclerc and Sainz back and forward and then double stack them.
And forget to get the tires ready.
Oh wait, the pits are ok, the strategy is logical. Time for the drivers to fight each other on cold hards.
Edit: this is the thing I dislike about Max’ dominance. Other drivers have given up on winning so hard they’d rather fight their teammates for a chance at a podium. And I do cheer for Max as he’s Dutch but has a Belgian mother. (And I wish good things for Ferrari because of Schumi nostalgia and because Red cars are pretty)
Nah just see if Leclerc can use the kerb to get enough to air to stack himself right on top of Sainz, then get a 2-3 finish that way.
Carlos doing so well to control Max’s attack.
He really is. It’s all he can do, too. Not enough pace to build a gap.
How has Perez not yet gotten a penalty for track limits? I thought for sure he’s left the track more than 3 times.
He’s given the positions back, which is basically the consequence. Overtakes outside of track limits aren’t legal, but the stewards generally just order the position returned to the driver who was ahead before the driver left the track.
I thought track limits were track limits though? Even if a position/advantage isn’t gained.
This is the part where I say I’m not an expert on Formula 1 rules. You’d have to ask someone far smarter than me.
No, you don’t get track limits penalties for going off-track if you lost time doing so
Often the stewards will say they won’t be strict at certain corners. This lets the drivers carry additional speed through those corners and go off on the outside.
But they certainly will hand out penalties for repeated offenses at corners they haven’t okayed, because the main reason drivers repeatedly go off at a corner is because it is faster to go off at that corner.
In that case they gain time. If someone is repeatedly pushed off at a corner at loses time every time, they will never get a track limits penalty for that.
Stewards should have given him a warning for track limits for sure
