    Really the same could be said about Canada, where Vettel held off Hamilton and DRS the entire race. One difference we have seen emerging is Charles is more comfortable with the car over a wider range of tracks, and getting stronger as the season progresses. He is learning, adapting, and getting the most out of the car. Hopefully he can capitalize in a couple more races.

    Without DRS the margin would have been much greater than 20 sec;) But yes, the car is lacking except for speed.

    Ferrari's engine is a proper masterpiece.

    Shame about the rest of the car, lol

    If Leclerc wins the next race, it will show he is the real deal. The car does best with fast tracks, it's to slow in corners.

    I think someone said Austin may be a possible win for us, could be I guess


    Forza Ferrari..... the only racing team and car marque that matters. Italia forever It’s easier to apologise than it is to ask permission

    But they had to let the German car win in Germany, and didn't take the win from the Italian car in Italy.

    They'll have to DQ half the field to let Haas win in Austin. :D

    A car has to be good overall to aim at the championship, not just fast on some circuits.
    In recent years, only Mercedes managed that, and neither Red Bull nor Ferrari have matched that versatility yet.
    But surely they will be catching; both Ferrari and Honda engines are on a par with MB power already.
    Now it's their chassis and aero that need some work to deliver regular performances, and not sporadic wins.

    Don’t bully fchat please :) :)

    The difference is, young fella, that Leclerc is outperforming the car, whereas Elton just drives his perfect machine. One shows class, the other is crass


    By the way, I’m not bullying you, please feel free to read my posts and have a warm fuzzy feeling in your belly. :) ;)


    PS. I PMd you earlier, care to respond, or is silence proof of a guilty feeling Karim?

    Absotively. Holding off attacks by two different Mercs, Leclerc showed talent worthy of a seasoned veteran.

    A very impressive performance by the young driver.

    Great race by Charles. He was under constant Mercedes pressure but didn't make any critical mistakes (unlike his teammate). Charles also showed his teeth with his aggressive defense. Good call on the warning flag, let the drivers race wheel to wheel without contact.

    Another mental collapse for Vettel, truly sad to watch him get lapped by his teammate. Monza and Canada show how far he has fallen from his prime.

    Drivers get old. Reflexes change. Reaction slows. Young lions feast.

    Hamilton will stay until he can no longer win. That will happen eventually

    First I spotted Leclerc's opaco Pista Spider,
    then I spotted himself in the podium!
    Photos are mine.
    Great result and now counting 50% victories of my Monza GP attendances (2006,2010,2019).

    In case you didn't realise (???), you duplicated your post on different threads.

    Or maybe it's for effect ?

    I call it spam.

    In this thread it was a recap of great driving by Charles. In the other thread it was a recap of Hamilton whining about great driving and tactics by Charles.

    Ermm... This one was a recap from official F1 youtube channel of a great battle at Monza, for the pleasure of all F1 fans who watch this thread.
    IIRC you started another thread where the same battle was essential to the topic.
    So I don't seem to see your problem. I think not everybody reads both threads and if you watched that recap here or there, you don't have to watch it again. But what does feel better on Earth than Ferrari's win on Monza? Ask yourself.

    Cheers,

    You may not see a problem, but I do.

    Spam is spam, whatever the excuse you use trying to justfy it. :D

    I call it beautifull, or does it hurt so much to see a Ferrari win?
