    **** me le clerc.

    They are telling you to save that front tyre with brake balance.

    The gap is now 9 with 5 to go. All he needs do is save the tyre

    I don't think Piastri is closing quickly enough here...

    This would be heroic from Leclerc if he holds this

    This is down to big braking zones.

    If the fronts lock it's all over.

    If he doesn't lock up he will be OK by the look of it.

    Basically piastri and mclaren stayed out too long and lost lots of time then pitted and had to race back

    Ferrari just gambled and piastri thought his tyre was too dead to try

    No love from the commentators for Magnusson.

    Norris grabbing that fastest lap point, so not all bad.

    Alonso missing 10th by 0.2!
    Albon 9th is a decent result especially with his new team mate in 12th on his first race.

    Finally Ferrari get strat right.

    Just about! :) He was an outsider for the title, but that was a crappy way to end it.

    Wonder how much of the marbles Leclerc scooped up on the way back.

    All of them I reckon plus a metric tonne of dirt from where he was driving.

    As much as I prefer McLaren over any other team, I'd love to be at Monza to see a Ferrari win.
