I don't think Verstappen did much wrong at T1, Norris barely made the apex himself

Saving tyres? I just don’t see the Red Bull winning this.

Long run pace in practice looked good enough to win, he looks faster in a straight line than the McLarens as well. Just depends how the tyre deg goes.

Just noticed Antonelli has dropped to 10th. What happened?

Got bogged down off the line.

Hope Russell makes the move soon. He looks like he has some pace. We already know Ferrari will fall off a cliff in the second half.

Shocked by all the track limit warnings coming up, it's not like there's a lot of turns.

That Red Bull is a speed demon around here..

 

[Vinno]

Seems like that Merc hasn't got the straight line speed to make a dent on Leclerc.

You know it must be decent cos Tsunoda is in the top 10 rather than his usual home in about 14th!

I'm listening on R5 Live and it's very boring.

Classic Monza - Exciting start/first few laps - then just nothing......

 

[imtoooldforthis]

This top 3 isn't going to change is it with deg this low. Norris doesn't have speed of Max and Piastri doesn't either and seems a bit slower than Norris.

Maybe things change on Hards

Gasly time - 1:25.448 deleted - track limits turn 5 lap 15

Feel like that’s one of the first radio exchanges we’ve heard from Ferrari/Leclerc, that wasn’t met with absolute hatred from the driver, in a long time.

 

[Flibster]

The medium tyre is going to do over half distance? So the tyre compounds are too hard then.

 

[Mad_Jay]

Now we're at peak Monza, can't see the order changing much now.

Red Bull put a tea tray rear wing on Max's car for FP3 after being low down in the speed trap. Seems like it was the right call.

 

[Mr Jack]

Nicely executed pass by Kimi.

 

[Flibster]

Race control - turn 4 incident involving Sainz noted - Failing to follow race directors instructions - Escape road instructions

 

[Emlyn_Dewar]

Tsunoda was sleeping there.
