All times are UK times

Poll closes before Quali.

 

Quali is another one where the teams are allocated a different tyre compound for each session!

 

I really hope that Ferrari can have a good showing here on home soil,if only for the millions of fans around the world.It`s probably wishful thinking but I`ve gone for Charles,Red Bull and Verstappen can`t win them all,can they?

 

they can til an engine goes pop.

Ferrari are nowhere

 

Can`t see a Honda engine going pop .that power unit is pretty much bulletproof now,infact the whole car is.

What I was hopeing for is a big shunt into turn one on the opening lap and a bit of classic mad Max gets involved and is taken out.

Charles slips past all the carnage and wins Danny Ric. style from a couple of years ago.

 

Perez doing Perez things, or at least Perez things since he challenged Max.....

 

And then Charles can sip his own sweat from his shoe on the podium

 

And we can hear once again that fabulous Italian national anthem. Oh for the Michael days.

 

Albon.

 

Impressive!

 

Well done Tsunoda, I woulda missed the start otherwise

 

"that was naughty" the hypocritical ****, he's done 10x worse there in seasons past.

 

Mercedes pit wall ‘ George, more management turn 6, turn 6

George ‘I don’t know if you can see but I’ve got a car right up my arse!’

 

Game over! :-(

 

Verstappen on for a cruising 10th in a row- yawn.

 

investigating some banging wheels, that's how interesting this race has become.

 

very very very dull.

reality is track is too narrow and too up their own holes to do anything about it.

parabolica and all that ****e.

this is a virtual cannot pass track.

even with drs there's not enough room to really do much

 

Ferrari's are sitting ducks now they've lost their train.

 

perez took his sweet time to catch back up to sainz.

now drs and should should make it 1/2

 

Sainz DOD today. Heroically dogged defence all day.
