Poll: Italian Grand Prix 2022, Monza - Race 16

[englishpremier]

Monza is a boring track and dry weather isn't going to help that. Isn't it also usually a 1 stop?

I expect Alpine and Williams to do well. Both are mega quick in a straight line.

Will Ferrari try the tow in qualy? What could possibly go wrong

 

[Feek]

Forecast added to first post, it's going to be dry.

Hopefully we get a repeat of the 2019 Q3 - that was hilarious

Sad and glad at the same time.

Gasly is reportedly unwell with a high fever; unclear whether he will be racing, at this point.

Get well soon, Pierre! (Like he'll read this )

 

[Flibster]

Hamilton expected to start from the back of the grid with an engine penalty.

Mercedes are still trying to work on recovery of his 3rd engine which suffered damage in Belgium. Suffered 45g impact.

 

[SKILL]

Hamilton to give Russell the tow in Qualifying then?

Hamilton expected to start from the back of the grid with an engine penalty.

Seems to be confirmed on the BBC website.

I was questioning watching the race anyway but now I definitely think I'll find something better to do.

Max, Bottas, Hamilton, Sainz, Tsunoda all starting for the back.

Should be a nice win for Leclerc.

I fell asleep during FP1. Boring track is boring. I think Monaco is more interesting.

Has something changed for Max then, he only changed his ICE which is a 5 place penalty, has he changed more now?

No he just wants a challenge

No he just wants a challenge

Understandable , must be quite fun starting at the back in Monza, a great track to do it at. Qualy now seems a little redundant but the race should be good.

Last to first challenge, just for the content. Can't see anything but an RB win here, even despite Ferrari leading the way in FP1 & 2.

Anyone else thinking the engine penalties are starting to make F1 look a bit stupid though?

Yea, that whole system needs to be reworked.

My take on the engine penalties:

Mid race blowup ala Sainz in Austria? Replace it, count it against your yearly limit but no penalty.

Changing it because you want a fresh engine for a power track? Back of the grid and no qualifying for you. Make the penalty mean something.

Constructors point penalty would be the obvious choice I think - penalise unreliability (and potentially constructors end of year payout) rather than the drivers chances of a win

Both RBs are carrying big engine penalties. Going to be Rus vs Lec baring badly times safety cars.

Norris could be in for a good result - looked quicker than the Mercs so far

really like the yellow on the ferrari. it would look much better without the fin being yellow. but all the other bits go so well.
