FORMULA 1 GRAN PREMIO HEINEKEN D'ITALIA 2016: PRACTICE 1/2/3 *** SPOILERS ***

You're ready "early", Speedy, as always...ah, but everything is inverted down there...

Rgds

 

Mercs will obviously win it, Ferrari should be able to get on the podium. We may see max dragged off into the Royal Park by tifosi anxious to explain driver etiquette to him via the use of diagrams, a rope and a horses head. Hopefully, daddy Jos has already made him do a thousand lines before this weekend 'I must not overstep the mark and take silly chances, daddy wants me to win', and has told him he won't get his allowance this month if he keeps arguing with the bigger boys

On a side note, ever thought that max looks a bit like the love child of Robert Kubica and the bride of Frankenstein? He's no oil painting ! Hehehehe

 

I was getting a little worried!

It should be interesting to see Max back on track.

 

Good morning! Tire tests continue.

 

Hello everyone.

 

Limited mileage in FP1 for Ferrari's new engines.

 

Manors are surprisingly far down. I thought they might have had a shot at the Toro Rossos. Let's see how the weekend unfolds for them.

 

I understand they say if thing go well they might get in reach of Q3. Now that would be an achievement and an upset for many others.

 

Love Monza! Sorry to hear that Diffey will be back on Sunday to announce the race, it was awesome to not have to listen to him last week.

 

Very good!

 

Max Verstappen given 'gentle warning' by the FIA after more criticism of his driving style | F1 News

"Charlie was keen to show him a replay of Spa," Red Bull boss Christian Horner confirmed to Sky Sports F1.

"It was a gentle warning to say 'that''ll be a black and white flag'. [It was] a bit of a warning."

 

Best news in a long time! F1 without Monza would not be F1.

 

Agreed

 

Still hoping for the Scuderia to pull out a surprise here. Vettel was on top for a moment, but Merc quashed all of that shortly thereafter.

Red Bull did not run super softs, as I understand it, so we don't have a real gauge on their performance. Still, I hope for something unexpected.

 

LOL good one

Prost actually had bodyguards at Monza when he was Alboreto's rival for the title in 1985.

 

That was always prosts style, I think he was hiring them en route back to the pits after Japan when he ratted on Senna to Balestre!

 

He sure must have had one hell of a sickness.

I've never minded him, but I kinda like the guy filling in today.

 

According to the guys on the F1andDone podcast it was diverticulosis.
