Charles will bin it.

And Sainz will get screwed with some random strategy pit stop tire choice.

“Why did you put me on inters??? It is bone f***ing dry, there isn’t a cloud in the sky?”

“Ah one moment Carlos… we are checking…”

BOTH Ferrari drivers under investigation for failing to meet the minimum lap time between safety car lines set to prevent accidents caused by traffic.

I was wondering how Ferrari would ruin their weekend, they got creative in breaking a brand new rule

Stewards: No Further Action.

Hey what did you expect at Monza? Those stewards have spouses, children, cousins, fourth cousins twice removed, and their children. They want them all to get out of Italy alive.

Yea certainly felt like a business decision

‘Box, box, box, Charles’

‘Wait, where are the tyres?!?’

‘What tyres?’

Ferrari is in a golden position for the race but you just know they will somehow goof it up. I doubt either car will be on the top step at the end of the race.

Another great Race.. I think if the Ferrari boys had worked closer together by dropping Carlos back slightly keeping Charles within DRS and the toe, Perez would have really struggled to get past and we could have potentially been looking at second and third for the Ferraris.

Just a thought, if you remove Red Bull from the equation, this would be an incredible championship.

Another great race from Liam Lawson, to finish mid-table in his second-ever Grand Prix is amazing.. Great racing between Lando and Piastri, and Carlos and Charles, and a very rare mistake from Lewis not giving enough space to Oscar.

Yeah, brilliant racing.. Thrilling.. I'm amazed that they didn't get told to cool off, like the Ferrari of old.

IMHO they would have if it was the other way around.

Actually a great race by Ferrari without any stupid driver errors or strategy choices.

LOL, Mercedes drivers just saying screw it and going full send with the overtakes. 5 second penalty to overtake on track when you can easily pull out a 5 second lead in like 3 laps was totally worth it.

Possibly although I like to think Vassar is a real racer at heart..

Although Leclerc was very lucky not to get a penalty for doing almost exactly the same thing to Perez, that Lewis did to Piastri

It was sort of exciting but when max wins again it gets very boring very quickly. You could look at the result and say it was a red bull one-two but the reality is perez was miles off max. At least in the merc dominant years you genuinely didn't know which one of the drivers might put it on pole and/or win the race. Now the cars are so reliable it makes max's dominance even worse. An engine failure or tyre blowout would at least make it a little bit interesting!

Not max's fault obviously, it's on the opposition and max's team mate to take the fight to him. But for me it's taking the appeal out of it as a spectacle. Watching drive to survive again with my son and it makes you long for the days of Danny Ric sticking it up the back of max in Baku... Good times!
