Poll: Italian Grand Prix 2018, Monza - Race 14/21

[Leeroy Jenkins]

When will Kimi get a message that he's overheating or has a brake issue and have to lift and coast more? Thats the usual 'fault'

Can't they mess with the engine parameters from the pit lane? Just reduce some power on Kimi and eventually Vettel will catch him

Is there ever a race on Sky that isn't going to OMG mega exciting race in prospect

Nope. Telemetry is one way only. Can receive but not transmit. Was banned shortly after Newey in the McLaren era remotely changed the oil feed from the main tank to the reserve tank.

Yep, and people need to stop whining about it because every team will do it in the same situation

All teams use team orders, but Ferrari use them more than other teams, and have a much stronger 1st/2nd driver policy.

My memory isn't good enough to recall the specific race, but around when it looked Kimi wasn't going to drive for Ferrari in 2019, Kimi finished ahead of Seb this year with no car inbetween.

The gap should be less between Seb and Lewis in the drivers championship, couldn't say if it should be 7 less, but for whatever reason Ferrari messed up (or Kimi disobeyed orders).

All ready here to go for a ride, but I can't resist seeing a Ricci Lake banzai move at T1 that takes out half the field.

Cloudy. Rain the the last 10 minutes then that’ll never happen.

Kimi to get screwed over somehow.

Austria. Kimi was 2nd to Vettel's 3rd. Hamilton was already out.

They’ve never been able to do that, it’s telemetary only.

 

[CaptainRAVE]

Sky too excited. I love monza, but I am skeptical.

 

[Deleted member 651465]

I hope Crofty doesn’t do the SHOUTY voice for the entire first lap. I know it won’t happen tho

 

[el_dazza]

60% chance of rain?

So that means no rain then.

 

[Flibster]

They were able to several years ago, but it was change to receive only very soon after. All adjustments now need to be done in the pitlane or by the driver.

 

[el_dazza]

Vettel's off!

 

[RSR]

Get in!!!!

 

[MagicBoy]

That was inevitable, Vettel should have conceded.

 

[CaptainRAVE]

Hahahaha. Side by side. Racing incident. Kimi to win. As usual Vettel loses his head.

 

[Flibster]

Forza Ferrari....

 

[UTmaniac]

LOL @ SEb, silly man, that was Lewis' corner

 

[CaptainRAVE]

Vettel can never keep his head. Should be good racing now.
