Poll: Italian Grand Prix 2022, Monza - Race 16

[Flibster]

Final grid announced, it's the same as the provisional one above.

Will be interesting to see whether RB get better value from DRS as they have more aero to drop. Smart move to negate a DRS train (if it works)

With their flappy drs again.

This Jackie Stewart interview is sure dragging on.

With their flappy drs again.

They're just waving goodbye to the other cars

The stat that overtaking here is more difficult than Monaco. I saw it mentioned in this thread also. This just refers to overtaking for the victory, or is it covering back/mid-field also?
If it's just for pole to victory, I can't say I'm too surprised. Mid-field I'd be a bit surprised if it was true.

Not sure about 'more difficult than Monaco' but it's not great. Last year, outside of sprints, only Monaco and Hungary (and Spa but y'know) had fewer on track overtakes.

Still loling that De Vries hammered Latifi here in quali after being in the car for about 20 mins

Shows you though it is 95% the car what a difference a good driver v a bad one still makes.

 

[Emlyn_Dewar]

I guess for the entertainment it'd be bad for Leclerc to win, but it would be good to see. He deserves a bit of luck.
Been burned countless times expecting a good race from interesting situations, but today I really think it'll be a good one. This time.

Was Ferrari in charge of the audio during the anthem?

Risk of rain for F1 race is 0%

Crofty with 3 laps left and the leader 25s ahead - “AND WE HAVE A 0.5% CHANCE OF RAIN. Don’t tune out yet, this is about to get interesting”

 

[Emlyn_Dewar]

If there's one thing we can say for certain, it's that you can never rule out rain. I think I saw a cloud earlier over one of the mountains in the distance. They'll just be starting to do the calculations for starting on inters.

 

[Flibster]

Leclerc, Russell, Verstappen, de Vries, Ocon on new softs.
Everyone else on a mix of new and used mediums.

 

[Stu999]

Bloody Verstappen fans and their red flares.

 

[Psycho Ned]

Max will be 2nd in about 3 laps.

 

[el_dazza]

Max up to 3rd already..

 

[Tigget]

Bloody Verstappen fans and their red flares.

Hahaha I was going to comment that nobody seems as offended now we’re not in the Netherlands…. Surprise surprise!

 

[Stu999]

Danny Ric FTW

 

[englishpremier]

Was going to post, what are the odd on Danni Ric jumping Noris at the start.

 

[Locky]

That redbull is so much faster than every other car on the track.

 

[Trusty]

formidable first few laps from Verstappen
