Looking like possibility of Rain at the start.

[Redfive]

it's raining right now.

I'm looking forward to a good race at the front and although I want Charles to win I would take a Max win if Charles is 2nd. Hopefully Carlos will be on the podium too!

[jgonzalesm6]

yep, watching the Porsche Super Cup race. 50% chance during the F1 race.

[Greig]

With our tyre deg rain might not be the worst thing.

[wisepie]

This is the kind of weather forecast where my heart will be in my mouth, only hope we stay on track and the rest could be a lottery. Forza ragazzi.:pray

[Tifoso Svedese]

Yeah the main thing is a Charles top two while waiting for upgrades and not binning it. Rain could increase his win chances a bit, but to win championships we need solid podiums all the time. Vettel left enough points on track to potentially win it both in 2017 and 2018 and we can't afford something like that again.

[patrese86]

Really didn't want rain.

[Hornet]

If it was up to me, I'd rather not take the risk of DNF in the rain.
In a normal race, at worse Charles can still finish P2, which is fine at this point of the season given his points lead over Max.
A DNF will quickly cut down that advantage he have.

[nani_s23]

With our tyre deg rain might not be the worst thing.

Yup. Just keep the car on track & wait for right moment. I would take this wet track over dry track where we had tyre graining issues. To me RB looked fast in dry conditions.

[SilverSpeed]

CL out on inters now.

[stefa]

Rain has stopped. Track is wet. Intermediate tyres.

[stefa]

Will it be standing or behind SC start?

[SilverSpeed]

More rain to come after the start of the race though.

https://trackweather.live/formula1/italian-grand-prix

[nani_s23]

All teams with Ferrari engines (so Charles & Carlos too) have changed the fuel pumps ahead of the race.

[jgonzalesm6]

Intermediates can do over 40 laps by staying on the dry line.

[nani_s23]

Charles first outlap was on full wets and now he switched over intermediates

[SilverSpeed]

On what lap Max his engine will give up guys?

Place your bets...

[KingCharles]

Rain is always tricky and a DNF could happen -let's hope Leclerc and be careful. RB will be very happy with wet conditions.

[jgonzalesm6]

Latifi should get a grid ADVANCEMENT on the next race IF he stays in the garage.......:-D

[stefa]

Latifi should get a grid ADVANCEMENT on the next race IF he stays in the garage.......:-D

:rotfl

[jgonzalesm6]

NICE flyover by the Italian aerobatic team.

[Kyss4k]

Lol at Sky having Rosberg as an expert on the couch in his home. What the hell?

[stefa]

There are some blue patches of sky

[SilverSpeed]

So at the start no DRS, hopefully CL get's a better start then Max and can build a lead.

But with the wet track many SC's will come I'd expect.

[stefa]

First couple of laps are going to be hectic

[tifosi1993]

:ferrarifl

[SilverSpeed]

More rain in 30.

[Kyss4k]

Good luck Ferrari :pray

[ferrari1.8t]

Heat beating, fingers crossed…Forza Ferrari!! Here we go!

[SilverSpeed]

Idiot McMower

[Greig]

oh great

[Kyss4k]

as§dlůkigfhj oůiasdjfg oůpisdejfgůoasidejhfgůaoisdjhf ůoaids are you kidding me?!!!!

[458 Italia]

Terrible start.

[ferrari1.8t]

What bad luck…never going to win the WCC like this

[tifosi1993]

Bloddy Ricciardo. Retire.

[Greig]

what a terrible lap 1 for us

[stefa]

This is crap!!!

[jgonzalesm6]

Sainz is done.

[elnano14]

For **** sake

[WS6TransAm01]

Hahahahahah

Carlos in the heaven again.

[SilverSpeed]

Bad start and a McCheat for us.

[stefa]

Both cars terrible start!!!

[jgonzalesm6]

Just bring the car home Leclerc.....maximize the points.

[Kyss4k]

All we needed to do with the gap we had, is to take it easy, develop the car, be careful... instead we are not making any development letting Red Bulls catch us and then throwing our races away. Why?

[stefa]

CL need to salvage as much as possible points today

[SilverSpeed]

Rookie mistake by Dan couldn't he bamzai into a RB...

[Rishu]

Damn you Daniel

[Tifoso Svedese]

Ricciardo!!

[Greig]

Charles still in a good position in changing conditions but another haul of WCC points lost.

[Rob]

All dani rics fault

[patrese86]

Sainz gets ****ed then by Ricciardo

Then he lies over the radio

[Kyss4k]

It was our terrible start that got us into this position, so no one else to blame, than us.

[ferrari1.8t]

Now Charles needs to be careful on the restart…he’s got places to make up and will take chances. This could get worse

[458 Italia]

I don't see how they can just excuse that from Ricardo.

[jgonzalesm6]

All dani rics fault

agreed.

[ferrari1.8t]

All dani rics fault

Stewards don’t agree :furious

[SilverSpeed]

It was our terrible start that got us into this position, so no one else to blame, than us.

Yeah right....

So if we Q in P5 we wouldn't have this?

Makes no sense this comment!


Just most of the left side starters had a better start.

[Kyss4k]

Yeah right....

So if we Q in P5 we wouldn't have this?

Makes no sense this comment!

No... if we didn't start like an F2 car, we would still have been at worst 2nd and 4th and not in the situation where McLaren could bonehead us. Easy as that. We've had the worst start of the field with both cars basically.

[KingCharles]

Wow! We are ****ed

[paneristi]

2DNF can harm our WCC

[458 Italia]

You can't go on the kerbs in the wet like that!

[DJTaurus]

Lec is not good under rain conditions.

[ferrari1.8t]

Why can’t we tifosi have nice things?

[jgonzalesm6]

No further investigation regarding Ricciardo on Sainz.

[stefa]

Ferrari is bouncing like a yoyo

[Brembo]

Terrible! Saints is lucky he already got his contract.

[stefa]

CL not even close to LN

[tifosi1993]

Well done Charles

[458 Italia]

Easy day for Max.

[Kyss4k]

GJ Chrales

[SilverSpeed]

Boo Yaaa

Lando!

[WS6TransAm01]

Good job Charles.

Have to limit damage at this point.

[458 Italia]

Lovely pass that

[bogs1207]

What happen to carlos?

[jgonzalesm6]

Nice pass Leclerc on Norris.

[Noquarter]

Sainz is natural born loser.

[Kyss4k]

If we won't win, it was only because of the owful start. The pace looks good.

[stefa]

Go CL!!!

[tifosi1993]

Charles .5 seconds quicker than Perez

[stefa]

CL is faster than per

[WS6TransAm01]

CL is faster than per

But slower than Max.

[SilverSpeed]

When CL leads we have SC all the time and now suddenly not a single one haha :rotfl.

[gump1480]

We are slow in this changing condition...easy RB 1-2

[ferrari1.8t]

Great move by Charles! A Red Bull DNF would help lesson the blow on our WCC.

[Kyss4k]

We are slow in this changing condition...easy RB 1-2

Yeah... sadly looks like it

[Kyss4k]

Wow we are slow! Why are we so slow?!

[SilverSpeed]

Wow we are slow! Why are we so slow?!

Because the others are faster.

[458 Italia]

See this is why we don't need DRS.

[jgonzalesm6]

Russell overcooked into the chicane against K-Mag....

Russell overtakes K-Mag.

[Greig]

When CL leads we have SC all the time and now suddenly not a single one haha :rotfl.

Already been a SC? lol

[458 Italia]

Shame the Haas is going backwards.

[drax]

I think P2 is the best we can hope for on normal conditions on this race

[stefa]

See this is why we don't need DRS.

100%

[tifosi1993]

I want some one in the midfield to jump the gun and go for the slicks.

[stefa]

In 23 race calendar, idealy 23 wins will be super, but that is not possible, so race by race and collect points!

[ferrari1.8t]

Charles gaining on Perez…now 1.275 behind.

[ferrari1.8t]

I want some one in the midfield to jump the gun and go for the slicks.

You got your wish, Danny ric goes on the slicks

[tifosi1993]

Track is good enough for slicks.

[ferrari1.8t]

Do we pit or wait for rain?

[Greig]

Should have pitted with Perez.

[bogs1207]

We should pit

[SilverSpeed]

CL BOX BOX!

[Kyss4k]

Aaaand the progress on Perez is gone. He will fly now on softs. or not :O

[WS6TransAm01]

Should have pitted. ***

[458 Italia]

I hope they know what they're doing with Charles.

[458 Italia]

hamilton :rotfl

[SilverSpeed]

1 lap to late arg why didn't we pit with Perez they we jumped Max.........

[Greig]

Nice ahead of Perez.

[458 Italia]

Slow stop.

[DJTaurus]

I really hate sainz. We need help.

[Greig]

Not ahead of Perez lol

[ferrari1.8t]

Should have pitted earlier…ugh

[stefa]

Disaster stop

[458 Italia]

Ah damn.

[Greig]

Wow Ocon terrible release

[SilverSpeed]

Nice ahead of Perez.

mmm Yes I see :rotfl

[bogs1207]

We should have followed perez on the pits.

[stefa]

CL should have pitted when Perez did

[Greig]

Charles has the pace to pass Perez and Max will DNF anyway :-D

[Greig]

CL should have pitted when Perez did

Not lost us much tbh

[ferrari1.8t]

Charles has the pace to pass Perez and Max will DNF anyway :-D

Let’s hope so!

[stefa]

So far this race is..... ugh

[Kyss4k]

It looks like the classic Ferrari race from last years. Mistakes, bad stops, bad starts, not a great pace... I don't like it. Let's turn the wick up Charles, please.

[Aziz]

Slow race pace, slow pit, just excellent... We should wait for another 4 races to bring updates

[ferrari1.8t]

Charles FL

[tifosi1993]

Where's the DRS. Come on enable it.

[SilverSpeed]

Enable DRS and Perez is a goner...

[Kyss4k]

Yeah... we've had races where DRS hurt us. Now it can help us and they will not enable it. Great.

[DJTaurus]

Are they going to give DRS ?

[Greig]

Why no DRS????

[ferrari1.8t]

I think we need some DRS….going to ruin our tires fighting Perez

[Greig]

Slow race pace, slow pit, just excellent... We should wait for another 4 races to bring updates

:rotfl

[patrese86]

Why is there no ****ing drs

Muppets

[WS6TransAm01]

Why no DRS????

Because Ferrari is doing the chasing.

I bet if Max was behind Charles DRS would have been open 8 laps ago.

[tifosi1993]

Get on the radio Ferrari. And ask for the DRS.

[stefa]

RB is clever use PER as a buffer

[Kyss4k]

Ok, the race is gone. Everything is against us. I am furious.

[gump1480]

That 1.4 s was so crucial

[ferrari1.8t]

Perez pulling away now…:-s

[stefa]

3rd is max today

[458 Italia]

We can't respond the the red bull's pace.

[Tifoso Svedese]

Have race control fallen asleep on the DRS button? Ridiculous.

[WS6TransAm01]

Charles is falling back.

Ugh.

[stefa]

This is it...

[totox]

We can't respond the the red bull's pace.

Because our porpousing is massive in the straights

[458 Italia]

Oh dear Mick.

[stefa]

I had such high hopes for this one

[Aziz]

:rotfl
What is so funny

[tifosi1993]

Magnussen, who's not even a tier 1 driver, making Mick look quite ordinary. He can't hide behind Mazepin anymore.

[Kyss4k]

Schumacher is an absolute joke. I didn't expect him to be this bad having the genes he has.

[fratelliferrari]

How is it possible we lost soo much pace in 1 weekend…I know RB brought updates but this is just horrible…Iam at the track now but I wished I didn’t go to this GP. What a disaster!

[458 Italia]

Who is the race director today?

[stefa]

Great results with lounch spec car, but now it is time for some working upgardes

[ferrari1.8t]

How is it possible we lost soo much pace in 1 weekend…I know RB brought updates but this is just horrible…Iam at the track now but I wished I didn’t go to this GP. What a disaster!

A lot of variables; weather, track temp, graining, teams brining updates….

[jgonzalesm6]

Magnussen, who's not even a tier 1 driver, making Mick look quite ordinary. He can't hide behind Mazepin anymore.

+1

and K-Mag has been out of F1 for a year??? or 2??? I forgot already....:-)

[ferrari1.8t]

We can’t get passed RB without DRS. Enable it

[Greig]

What is so funny

Your comment.

[stefa]

How is it possible we lost soo much pace in 1 weekend…I know RB brought updates but this is just horrible…Iam at the track now but I wished I didn’t go to this GP. What a disaster!

I feel your pain

[Tifoso Svedese]

Race control are a bunch of dumb F's. What's wrong with them?

[KingCharles]

See this is why we don't need DRS.


Actually we DO need DRS

[Kyss4k]

They are saving Redbulls with the DRS not allowed. This is a joke. The whole F1 is a joke.

[stefa]

Seriously where is DRS?!?!?!

[WS6TransAm01]

We can’t get passed RB without DRS. Enable it!!!

That’s why it’s not being enabled.

[jgonzalesm6]

So this is what F1 looks like without DRS.......

[PURE PASSION]

In this race (with their updates) RedBull are a bit faster then us and can control their race / tires better then us. We are not too slow ,just 1, 1+ tenths but we need a bit more speed on this car to put us definitely I front. I would like to know, since RedBull has made so many upgrades on their car and we nothing ,how is the badget???!!

[stefa]

Race pace ia awful!!!!

[FerrariF60]

We have no pace to keep up with the bulls

[Kyss4k]

Now I am sure, F1 is scripted. They want RB to win today to get closer to Ferrari on point to make the season interesting.

[458 Italia]

Others have managed to overtake without DRS, we just seem to lack grunt, but I concede that we could really do with it now!

[Tifoso Svedese]

We have no pace to keep up with the bulls

Leclerc is miles faster than Pérez but he's not allowed to pass by race control.

[bogs1207]

Still no drs.

[Greig]

Now I am sure, F1 is scripted. They want RB to win today to get closer to Ferrari on point to make the season interesting.

Red Bull are just a bit quicker than us this weekend, no big deal or scripting.

[ferrari1.8t]

Now I am sure, F1 is scripted. They want RB to win today to get closer to Ferrari on point to make the season interesting.

I’ve been thinking the same thing. It’s to convenient, they want to stop Leclerc from running away. It’s like RB are allowed to win half the races, and us the other half lol

[Kyss4k]

Red Bull are just a bit quicker than us this weekend, no big deal or scripting.

I am talking about the DRS not being enabled. Leclerc would be ahead of Perez twice if it was.

[FerrariF60]

Red Bull are just a bit quicker than us this weekend, no big deal or scripting.

Agreed Greig, but some couch experts can’t see that

[Aziz]

Your comment.

Why? Are we 1-2. Are we 0.5+ faster then rb

[FerrariF60]

I am talking about the DRS not being enabled. Leclerc would be ahead of Perez twice if it was.

Oh so yiu nanna fake pass?

[KingCharles]

Put the DRS on!!

[Greig]

Why? Are we 1-2. Are we 0.5+ faster then rb

Throwing toys out the pram will make it better for you :-D

[patrese86]

Race director has gone from one extreme to another. They've been super quick to red flag everything, safety cars, now no DRS. Just pure incompetence once again by Formula 1

[Kyss4k]

Oh so yiu nanna fake pass?

Eh... I want an equal racing. Redbull got fake passes on us thanks to DRS. Why can't we?

[ferrari1.8t]

I am talking about the DRS not being enabled. Leclerc would be ahead of Perez twice if it was.

Ya, who knows their reasoning for not enabling it yet. We can speculate all we want…

[stefa]

MV to lap LH :-D

[KingCharles]

Oh so yiu nanna fake pass?

Dumb comment - cars are set up sometimes with DNS in mind. If you were not going to have DRS then you set the car up differently

[tifosi1993]

They've enabled DRS now. Too late.

[JChan]

Question? who activated the DRS? is it race control or the Pit?

[Tifoso Svedese]

*sarcastic applause*

[ferrari1.8t]

There is DRS…. Let’s see what Charles has left

[stefa]

Ya, who knows their reasoning for not enabling it yet. We can speculate all we want…

I don't see any

[Greig]

I am talking about the DRS not being enabled. Leclerc would be ahead of Perez twice if it was.

Perez would prob just use the same DRS to pass again though.

[Alonsomaniac]

Okay. NOW we need to look for updates on the car for next race.

[ferrari1.8t]

Anyone able to tell me the live points if the race ended like this? What’s the damage?

[Kyss4k]

They've enabled DRS now. Too late.

Yeah, now it's safe to enable it, when CL is not in the DRS window. Great stuff.

[jgonzalesm6]

DRS enabled on lap34.

[FerrariF60]

They've enabled DRS now. Too late.

Yeah Charles tires are quite worn to reel in perez

[Kyss4k]

Perez would prob just use the same DRS to pass again though.

I will hold on my belief that when CL would overtake him, he would drive away. Maybe not, but I wanna believe.

[WS6TransAm01]

I love how they enabled DRS after CL is no longer in DRS range lol

You can’t make this crap up.

[458 Italia]

I can't see Charles getting in the window.

[Tifoso Svedese]

The pit delta is a bit ridiculously high here right? Thinking we might be able to undercut him or catch him with fresh tyres.

[Kyss4k]

Yeah Charles tires are quite worn to reel in perez

Well he had to push to try to overtake not having the fake DRS pass posibility.

[SilverSpeed]

CL still driving with bigger margins then Perez.

Seems he's not 100% comfortable.

[Greig]

Lewis about to be lapped :-D

[ferrari1.8t]

Charles now 1.6 to Perez….maybe still a chance?

[Greig]

Bit of rain would spice it up :-D we should have the gap soon to pit and go for FL at the end.

[ss-89]

Combination of track setup and tyre warmup issues I think have cost us. The lack of practice sessions has probably cost us a bit in terms of setup so not going to read too much into it. Red bull have brought upgrades as well. Season is long.

Anyway back to the race I'd pit charles at lap 48 on to softs and see what he can do if the weather holds. Give him 15 laps.

[ferrari1.8t]

Lewis about to be lapped :-D

Nothing better to see!

[SilverSpeed]

I bet Lewis is gonna ask soon what are those blue flags are for haha :-D.

[jgonzalesm6]

Lewis about to be lapped :-D

Has that ever happened before in his F1 history?????

[ferrari1.8t]

Charles now 1.6 to Perez….maybe still a chance?

Now he got held up by back markers ugh

[ferrari1.8t]

Charles now 1.6 to Perez….maybe still a chance?

Now he got held up by back markers ugh

[Greig]

Has that ever happened before in his F1 history?????

I would imagine so.

[458 Italia]

Nothing better to see!

Brembo's hero! :-D

[Kyss4k]

By the way I'll throw something in... Redbull brought their upgrades here even though there was just 1 practice session before racing started. We were scared to do that and we lost. Standing still will not win you races and I guess we are seeing it in action today.

[ferrari1.8t]

Brembo's hero! :-D

Lmao! Roseberg said it, him and Russell are in the same car, no excuse.

[Rishu]

Why are they broadcasting battle for 11th? Where are the leaders? where is Ferrari in their home race?

[Greig]

By the way I'll throw something in... Redbull brought their upgrades here even though there was just 1 practice session before racing started. We were scared to do that and we lost. Standing still will not win you races and I guess we are seeing it in action today.

What did they bring? thought it was just some weight savings?

[jgonzalesm6]

I would imagine so.

I'm thinking in 2009 possibly???

[458 Italia]

By the way I'll throw something in... Redbull brought their upgrades here even though there was just 1 practice session before racing started. We were scared to do that and we lost. Standing still will not win you races and I guess we are seeing it in action today.

Agreed. The updates are ready to go, they trust the correlation now so they should've brought them.

[WS6TransAm01]

Oh look. The “GOAT” about to be lapped and 9 spots behind his team mate with considerable less experience

[458 Italia]

wolf looks happy :-D

[ferrari1.8t]

How annoying is that he is in 14th, and we still have to watch him for the whole race. My god, give it up. I don’t care that he is DRS.

[stefa]

Oh look. The “GOAT” about to be lapped and 9 spots behind his team mate with considerable less experience

:rotfl IT WAS ALWAYS JUST THE CAR!!!!

It's really been the hamilton show for ages now.

[458 Italia]

Max still pumping in fastest laps...

[totox]

Agreed. The updates are ready to go, they trust the correlation now so they should've brought them.

With the amount of bouncing the car is showing in the straights the should fix that first in order to unlock pace, before add upgrades.

[stefa]

Just two weeks ago, Ferrari was flying, class of their own, and now...

[WS6TransAm01]

and Russell with wrong front wing settings to add.

But Hamilton is the GOAT, right?

Thank you :)

[FerrariF60]

Red bulls speed is worrisome....we desperately need some updates
Enough is enough running with pretty much the launch spec car 4 races in

Common Ferrari time to bring some valuable updates

[stefa]

Actualy very boring race

[SilverSpeed]

Just two weeks ago, Ferrari was flying, class of their own, and now...

Because RB got the setup wrong...

[DJTaurus]

and Russell with wrong front wing settings to add.

Link ?

[458 Italia]

:-ZZ

[stefa]

Link ?

They told him via radio

[SilverSpeed]

How many attempts you need Sir spoiled Lewis to pass an Alpha :rotfl.

[JacKy]

Why we do not pit? What we have to lose ?

[jgonzalesm6]

But Hamilton is the GOAT, right?

pffffft......."That's a negative ghostrider."

[FerrariF60]

Actualy very boring race

Of course when we’re not winning
If we were in Max’s position of course we would like this kind of boring race

[Kyss4k]

I don't think the race is as boring as it's frustrating...

[jgonzalesm6]

Link ?

During his pit, team radio radioed to Russell abuut the front jackman messing up his front wing settings.

[458 Italia]

Great the rear end is going off.

[stefa]

Of course when we’re not winning
If we were in Max’s position of course we would like this kind of boring race

[PURE PASSION]

Red bulls speed is worrisome....we desperately need some updates

That keep evolving their car from day 1. Everything they bring gives them pace. So we have 2 questions
1st how much money they have spend for laa those upgrades (and how much more do we have)
And 2nd what do we have in the pipeline????

[SilverSpeed]

Max DNF incoming soon.
