FORMULA 1 PIRELLI GRAN PREMIO D'ITALIA 2023 - Monza....Race..... ▄▀▄▀▄▀ SPOILERS ▄▀▄▀▄▀

If there was any contact, I would be calling him a bonehead, but there wasn’t. Really, everyone won. We got ample entertainment, Carlos got his Monza podium, Ferrari got their points, and Charles didn’t go down like a punk.

 

There was contact between Sainz and Leclerc in the chicane....but it was very light contact.....fyi.

 

Wow, missed that. Okay, he was a bonehead.

 

Was that lockup before or after he was told to hold station?

 

Good question, I honestly don't know that part of when he was told to hold station.

 

Yeah, I didn’t record it and I can’t recall. If the lockup came after the order that would be inexcusable.

 

Any truth to the rumor that Ferrari dialed up the engine for this race? They may dial it back down to eliminate the possibility of a DNF from here on out in terms of reliability.

 

New engine with token utilized for software.
Worth 1 tenth at best.

 

After

 

BTW - as Vasseur pointed out post race, they didn't say hold positions but 'no risk'.

Irrespective, Sainz passed him.

 

Yep, saw that as well about Vasseur.

 

Sainz proved today he's just as fast as Leclerc with the right support. He's really been coming through for the team lately.

Leclerc needs a sit down. His ego almost cost the time a solid result.

 

No he's not, not even close, one go doesn't make for the other100 times when he wad slower.....a lot slower....and even today Charles was faster.

 

I could say the dame about Sainz.

 

I think the silly move was on Carlos...znd so did Nico...

 

it always except the job the Indian guy that sounds like Alvin the Chipmunk and the lady with the strong Nort [northern ireland] accent did together, i think it was the Dutch gp. they were very good.

 

What a wonderful day for Powered by Honda, P1, 2, 11, 20 (Tsunoda having a Tsunoda day).
Recond 10 straight wins for Max and the world's greatest auto engineers.
Ferrari dominating qualifying at home and on the podium and getting P4, good stuff.
Extra intrigue with Sainz holding off LeClerc so we can argue about who is the better driver.

 

And the result shows that, right ?

 

same as for when he shunted max at silverstone....

too soon?

lol

 

*cough silverstone cough*

 

He did very well no doubt but “pretty much perfect” just isn’t enough to win.

Would have been great to see them get 1 and 2 at their Temple. Starting to think about getting a tattoo of a Cavallino with “maybe next year” written below it.

 

I wish they raced other cars this hard....(i'm late to the party)

sjd

 

for sure. and good for LEC for making him earn it.

They did well today.

and only 11 seconds behind max...instead of the usual 20-30... maybe they learned something.

 

are those trophies made from cracked 355 headers?

Give Red Bull the championship and let them stay home and let the rest of the field race
