2018 Italian GP Monza: Practices and Qualifying

[prancing horse]

Great job Kimi
Expect seb to take him on and the lead at the start
Hopefully Kimi will lose only the 1 place at start
Also here there is no dirty side
I understand why the team sent Kimi ahead. We need Kimi to finish ahead of Hamilton and best way is to have in on pole

Look, enough of this childish name calling for Lewis. Come on people. We better than that.

He deserves it. He’s an arrogant clown who thinks he’s Jesus. Tired of him in this sport and it’s about time he starts seeing red. People complain here about Rai, about Alonso, about almost every driver. Hamilton is not off limits imo.

[Cavallino]

Kimi and Lewis are on the clean side, outside line. Seb is on the insdie line.

[chinmay]

That’s the driver difference
Bottas is a So So pilot

That's setup issues, the so so driver on average was not even a tenth slower than Hamilton in qualifying in the first 12 races.

[mwk360]

Alonso and Kmag being investigated?

complain yes, but silly childish names, no.

thanks was looking for that info

Another proof that Mercedes Spec 3 is as powerful as Ferrari Spec 3. Hopefully Kimi and Seb can block Hamilton going into turn 1.

LOL, the only reason Mercedes is close because Hamilton pulled a monster lap.

good point

[JChan]

How about the Merc Flex rear wing from last GP? does the FIA turn a blind eye on it?

[Cavallino]

Ferrari HAS to think through this. Seb needs the win, he needs the 10 points.

You have to work through all scenarios.

I say on the start Kimi moves slightly over to the right. But not in the way of Seb. Let Seb go through turn 1 in the lead. Make it so Lewis's only chance is to pass both Ferrari's around the outside. If he can pull that off, tip your cap.

pretty much as we've seen with F.I and Williams ,but the best thing is it doesnt seem merc are faster, so that leaves it in the aero departments hands .

a clean start from seb and kimi into the first corner and lets hope M.A does the right thing for the WDC and it could be only 7 points difference getting ahead of myself but its actually possible now

Of course.

Yes they do, because they are FLEXable regarding Mercedes.

Yes absolutely, Mercs is so powerful,and Ferrari did fastest lap ever in F1 history.
I think you said yesterday, that Mercs is 0.5 sec ahead Ferrari in quali.

kimi did an interview day before saying he wants to beat seb , so i dont know how they will ever talk kimi into doing it unless they do it in pitstop

[Cavallino]

Today only makes sense if you plan on having Seb go around Kimi. And keeping the 1-2. This could be genius if it gives us the 1-2 with Seb in front.

[mwk360]

Everyone on the Ferrari pit wall looked mega happy ..except the guy at the far end..................................... the strategy guy.

he has the fate of the possible wdc in his hands tomorrow

[jgonzalesm6]

Kimi holds the fastest lap ever....EVER....and at Monza.

Amazing 38-year young Finn who holds 46 fastest laps vs. Ferrari’s No.1 driver, Seb Vettel’s 34 fastest laps.

[Ed Harley]

By giving a team order. But I don't think that is necessary.

[Cavallino]

If we didn't need the points so badly, we could let Kimi have this race.

that was yesterday. He'll say something else tomorrow.

Ferrari sont do it. For all the talk about team orders etc, it is mercedes that are screwing bottas over.

[chinmay]

Monster lap? Can you explain how? Bottas was struggling with car setup whole weekend and in the end he was just 3 tenths off Hamilton. Send me the video of universe you live in, must be fun.

Lewis got a nice tow from Kimi, and then Bottas.
And still got beaten.

So I don't see what could suggest that.
If anything, Ferrari is probably more powerful now.

[jgonzalesm6]

Last row lock out in Monza was in 2000 with Schumacher and Barrichello...........18 years ago.

[Ferrarichamp]

congrats to the team, a great result. Now we just need a clean start tomorrow, and we should win the race.

[tifosi1993]

The only thing that matter is a Ferrari 1-2. I want both Ferrari's to remain P1 and P2 after the start.

The team probably should do a swap towards the end of the race, if we are miles ahead.

[tifosi1993]

Yeah it is fun. You should go outside rather than dwelling in the basement, because we live on the same planet.

And I don't know why you are so upset, I mean I praised your idol Hamilton. You kept saying how your beloved Mercedes going to trash Ferrari...guess you are feeling angry.
