Grand Prix thread Monza - Formula 1 Heineken Gran Premio D’italia 2021

By the time I had typed “that worked out well for Hamilton” it had stopped working out well for Hamilton.

 

Verstappen still in second though, so that’s still some good news for Ham.

 

I was thinking max had learned to play safe letting riccy go then he tangles with Lewis

 

Come on Riccaido, now he's getting used to the McLaren he should match or probably be faster then Norris.

 

Letting Danny go is one thing but letting Lewis….. no.

 

Not a lot in it to be fair.... Was worth a shot, didn't work out.

 

Really hope next year's changes actually do allow the cars to run closer.

 

Macca are going to get done by an undercut here.

 

Or just by Hamilton being able to run longer on the hards.

 

Ricciardo could be vulnerable to an RBR undercut though.

 

Yup.

 

Great job by the McLaren boys but it’s going to take something special to stay ahead after the pit stops- I think the undercut will get it done for Max.

Lewis also going long and then bolting on the softs for a sprint finish is a danger.

 

Surprised Perez wasn’t given the hards and do a long stint special today, unless they get him to do the same thing on the medium?

 

Probably not going to happen. But a Macca win would be really nice.

 

The graphics at the start suggested mediums then soft I think but surely they need to go on hards? So Lewis will have a charge at end on softs against others on hards?

 

When they pit, they medium will see them through. Not sure how long Hamilton will run.

Edit.. ignore that. Not thinking.


In my defence, only just woke up before the race.

 

Ricciardo undercuts the undercut.

 

Well that's unusual.

 

How can commentators on an F1 race miss the fact that Hamilton has passed Norris?

i **** you not - Sky are awful.

 

Well that’s worked out well for Lewis. Managed to finish typing it that time.
