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. 🤔
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
5 second penalty felt light give he just took a constructor rival out of the points.
Yeah bring back the drive thru penalties.
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, 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.
I like how little effect the DRS has here. It was nice to see the Red Bulls struggling to overtake cars, that brought some tension. Bad luck for Piastri, he had a good race.
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.
Braking late and running over the chicane is the defense maneuver of today?
Monza doesn’t exactly encourage overtaking
Almost 30 years of watching F1, and there’s still something new 😄
race control being confused lol
Is this really news though?

Almost bit too quick for it to be an unforced mechanical failure. Bet someone forgot to connect something, or unplug something.
I was expecting a dull race for some reason, but it turned out to be a pretty fun one
Rogue mechanics jumping onto the grid lol
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
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.
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.
Soo, how far will Vestappen be ahead today?
A: 0-10s
B: 10-20s
C: 20-30s
D: more than 30s
Is this after the first lap or first pitstop…
Think the real question is: how many corners until sainz ends up in the gravel?
He can’t help it, it’s in his genes. His dad races on gravel all day.
Perma opposite lock

This comment aged like milk. What a drive he put in!
D will not happen. Then he will demand an additional pitstop for softs and the fastest lap.
If F2 is anything to go by today, it’ll be A due to so many people going off. Which heavily increases the likelihood of another driver dive-bombing him, not being able to brake, and to take him out because it’s glory or nothing. My money would be on Leclerc doing that because his position is being threatened by Sainz.
