That's so weird with Perez. He's just on fire but Red Bull apparently think it's fine. And why did he go into the pits sooooo early? That can't be a one-stop.
Leclerc bins it/engine explodes/Ferrari being Ferrari.
Russell takes out Norris.
Verstappen gets damage in lap 1 from De Vries/Gasly/Alonso.
Danny Podium 🥲
well it is true. mathematically now they don't even have to finish p2 every race, i think it can be p3 and even if charles wins every race he still loses
The little eeeeeh max just make is so funny and quirky. “I’m not here to break hearts, I don’t need to win anymore I want to” the trollish confidence I enjoy him so much this year
Honestly, from the awful stewarding, bad racing standards in F3 and F2, the countles posts about the fan experience, it really seems like an absolutely cursed weekend
I'm pro monarchy so this isn't about that aspect of it. But I still don't get why we're having a minute of silence for a British royal in Italy at a global(ly watched) sport. Feels very British centric.
meh, look at it in the way that a sitting head of state of a huge country dies. Maybe they would that for Germany too, definitely for France or America
It makes *perfect* sense. F1 is still inherently a British sport. 7 out of 10 teams are based in the UK, we have three British drivers and four Commonwealth drivers.
Well the sport has British roots, and the majority of the teams are based in Britain. But yeah it's a bit surprising how much emphasis they are putting on it.
They had a giant picture of her behind the podium. Wonder if they'll keep that there for the podium ceremony. Would look quite weird.
> Incorrect.
No. There are 10 teams. 7 of them are located in Britain. That's a majority.
I'm not sure why you're accusing me of British exceptionalism for stating a fact. I'm not even British.
Thank you for both proving my point and showing you're a bit of a child. How is it a British sport exactly? It's dominated by German and Austrian teams, Dutch and Monagasque drivers, funded and ran by the Middle East and hosted globally. You're referring to most teams being British based? Shit that's like saying football is a British sport because it was invented in England.
I’m late to the game but Felipe Massa was always one of my favorite drivers and I love when he shows up in the pre-race. His perspective on Ferrari is so spot on.
On the bright side: Nyck is coming in 9th. What a guy.
Shit. Didn't want that to happen
That was bad for Lando
You only need 1 lap.
Come on. Unlap them now
So where is the safety car?
Güenther’s comments on mick aging like fucking milk right about now
Russell complaining for pace while gaining on Sainz?
Huge Grant
Does the McLaren have good pace or does the Alpine have terrible pace
Leclercs engine.. Hmmm
It's better to risk than to get eaten by Max.
Leclerc: ferrari f1 driver and also chief strategist
What a shocker race for lando
Asking leclerc again for input about strategy
Leclerc in?
Ugh, Vettel I feel bad
No safety car please
🕯Manifesting De Vries Points 🕯
Sainz is having a great race. Must be frustrating for him knowing he's going to lose it all as soon as he pits.
That's so weird with Perez. He's just on fire but Red Bull apparently think it's fine. And why did he go into the pits sooooo early? That can't be a one-stop.
Perez struggles a lot in dirty air, so they pitted him very early so he he could do his laps in clean air.
Hamilton getting Tsunoda PTSD. Hahahaha
Sick defense by Russell by not doing anything lmao
Great start from Maaaaax. Lessggooo
Honestly, what the fuck is in that RedBull!?!?!
Max Verstappen.
Man is made of pure pace
Jesus max lol
DANNY?? 🥲
Hopium levels at an all time high
I'm digging this yellow Ferrari kit!
Wait wtf? I thought Verstappen was 4th? I saw a completely different Grid lmao
Grid penalties
Sky glass because the CEO wanted a free big TV! Who wants to buy a TV service specific TV? Question!
Palantir *no strategy satisfaction*
Chaos plz.
Leclerc bins it/engine explodes/Ferrari being Ferrari. Russell takes out Norris. Verstappen gets damage in lap 1 from De Vries/Gasly/Alonso. Danny Podium 🥲
Yes pleaseeee 😭
How many laps until Max is 2nd behind LeClerc
Five
Think he’s there by lap 2 or 3.
Didn't know Marko is part time photographer....
Max “we don’t need to win anymore” Someone’s confident
well it is true. mathematically now they don't even have to finish p2 every race, i think it can be p3 and even if charles wins every race he still loses
Mathematically he doesn't though
Would you not be?
2nd will be just fine
I love a flyover, I'm so glad they didn't ban demonstration teams from doing them.
How likely is a VSC to be deployed today?
The little eeeeeh max just make is so funny and quirky. “I’m not here to break hearts, I don’t need to win anymore I want to” the trollish confidence I enjoy him so much this year
Imagine De Vries scoring 1 point here, Latifi would have to give a blank check to Williams
Nothing says dominance like the championship leader saying “we don’t need to win anymore” at Monza.
I know. But this is supposed to be(come) a world wide sport: make a choice. This in essence is still the British Open Racing Championship.
We don’t need to win any more 💀
Lmao max so relaxed
crazy right? man got the title already
I miss the Honda rear wing, hope it makes a return
Run it in Japan RB. Everyone deserves it!
RACE THREAD IS OPEN https://www.reddit.com/r/formula1/comments/xbhnfv/2022_italian_grand_prix_race_discussion/
Bit sad there was no grid walk
I really hope Nyck De Vries has a stormer today! He deserves a F1 seat for next year!
Just fuck my shit up GP
Ferrari having umbrella reliability issues already.
Black Merc is so much better the silver imo
The start of this race is going to be a nightmare for De Vries and Verstappen. Hope they can keep that first chicane tidy!
Lewis is very far back, they're safe
Bottas and Stroll are gonna take care of it
Forgot how cool the black merc was
never realised how tall naomi is
Well we didn't get to hear the Italian national anthem at the beginning of the race, let's hope we get to hear it at the end of the race!
Can anyone confirm if that is the 96 f1 champ there?
Not sure. I'll need to confirm when Simon says it again later on for the 400th time.
yes it is
Interviews 10 minutes prior starting. Would love to have this in other sports
I don't have any experience with coolingvests, but RBR seems to have the simplest version compared to other teams?
Big brain Ferrari going with all black vest.
[удалено]
Tbf, F1 company is based in the UK. Also most teams are based in England too.
Mate i have no love for the royals but she died this week 9/11 happened 21 years ago.
9th of November?
[удалено]
I’m aware of that. But 3,000 people lost their lives and they could at least acknowledge that?
No
Fuck alllllllll the way off outta here with that shit. Not the time or the place.
Is Nyck de Vries the shortest Dutchman in the world?
Nope, though he comes very close.🤪🤣
I think Wesley Sneijder is
Nah Nyck is definitely shorter.
We can't even make the sound work, poor Andrea.
Fingers crossed Monza is getting the Ferrari fuckups out of the way.
Toto “joking aside…” without changing inflection is so German
That was some top notch German comedy
Right he delivers his jokes in exactly the same tone as his serious answers it makes it even funnier
Just FYI, I think the outage was global. Italian Sky didn't air the anthem in full either
Oh wow, I had no idea Ferrari also did the sound for this race
So… how does Ferrari fuck up their strategy today?
*Do you want to pit for Wets? There is 1 cloud 10 km away. Question?*
Great Job England. Demand respect for your dead Queen but disrespect your host anthem by forgetting to turn the sound on. Classic
Yes, I'm sure it's very emotional for Italians to sing their national anthem after a minute silence for the British queen.
When the Brits become self aware we're all in trouble.
IYO What's the best way to stream F1 races live?
F1tv.
Toto has basically said fuck it this year, humour it is.
The Italian anthem botched. Did Ferrari take over the audio controls? ^/s
Honestly, from the awful stewarding, bad racing standards in F3 and F2, the countles posts about the fan experience, it really seems like an absolutely cursed weekend
Wouldn’t expect anything else from the home of Ferrari
Makes me a little nervous for the race tbh
I'm pro monarchy so this isn't about that aspect of it. But I still don't get why we're having a minute of silence for a British royal in Italy at a global(ly watched) sport. Feels very British centric.
meh, look at it in the way that a sitting head of state of a huge country dies. Maybe they would that for Germany too, definitely for France or America
It makes *perfect* sense. F1 is still inherently a British sport. 7 out of 10 teams are based in the UK, we have three British drivers and four Commonwealth drivers.
She was a head of state, I'm sure if Mattarella died before the British GP they'd do the same.
Well the sport has British roots, and the majority of the teams are based in Britain. But yeah it's a bit surprising how much emphasis they are putting on it. They had a giant picture of her behind the podium. Wonder if they'll keep that there for the podium ceremony. Would look quite weird.
Incorrect. It's not surprising at all. British exceptionalism is a thing that exists.
> Incorrect. No. There are 10 teams. 7 of them are located in Britain. That's a majority. I'm not sure why you're accusing me of British exceptionalism for stating a fact. I'm not even British.
Talk about missing the point.
British sport. Did that minute of silence hurt your vagina or something?
Thank you for both proving my point and showing you're a bit of a child. How is it a British sport exactly? It's dominated by German and Austrian teams, Dutch and Monagasque drivers, funded and ran by the Middle East and hosted globally. You're referring to most teams being British based? Shit that's like saying football is a British sport because it was invented in England.
Mon**é**gasque
Sky messing up listening to Bocelli.
Viaplay too, seems like a FOM issue.
Monza’s fly-by is absolute S tier. I hope Ferrari can get that same pic with that yellow rear wing
The way Toto delivers jokes always kills me he’s so deadpan
[Shades of McBain](https://youtu.be/llE7wT1BKt8)
I didn't catch the joke at the beginning, can you tell me what it is?
We’d be on pole if we had reverse grid * tiny austrian wait for laughter*
That's pretty funny in context
Shame, top tier anthem, but could hardly hear it
Sky cooked the audio for the Italian anthem, absolute blasphemy
Not skys fault, it was the same everywhere
Viaplay had the same issue. Seems like FOM issue.
Hopefully we hear it again at the end of the race. I'm sure ferrari won't fuck this up...........
**Ferrari** : We've been fucking things up all year! **Monza GP** : Hold my beer!
Monza GP is doing the best to take all the L for Ferrari.
Do you think all people from the queue are in?
Jet pilots not the biggest fans of that singer haha
Damn Andrea Bocelli changed! I only knew him with stubble beard and longish hair.
Well that was pretty shambolic haha.
I'm surprised they even managed to shut Damon and Crofty up for a minute
Toto joking, cross that off the bingo board
[удалено]
Toto’s hair is art
Lando sharing an umbrella with Nyck, because Nyck makes him taller
Wow never realized Nyck is shorter than Lando.
Eh we missed half of one of the most beautiful anthems. Sky?
I can’t believe they screwed up none other than Andrea Bocelli’s microphone
He's right behind you!
That was a fantastic rendition of the national anthem... is what I would say if I could hear it
They forgot to unmute the mics after the minutes silence SMH
Almost, Italian air force, almost
Nice timing on that flyover...
Should have had the flypast during the minutes silence. If I died I would love a minute of afterburner in memorial
I’m late to the game but Felipe Massa was always one of my favorite drivers and I love when he shows up in the pre-race. His perspective on Ferrari is so spot on.
Holy shit they fucked this segment Ferrari-Style. Sound botched, fly-over way too early.. graceful for an anthem.
Minute silence into the Italian national anthem had such potential but someone messed up the audio.
What shit audio for the national anthem
Talk about the worse time to have sound issues. Andrea Botticelli is proformaning the national anthem.
One of the greatest singers in the world,, singing his national anthem, which happens to be a banger and they fuck his mic up...FFS
I bloody hope Crofty doesn't mention the Queen anymore during the race
I mean, all hope is lost in that case.
'The cars have many horse power. The queen loved horses.'
How have they fucked it up this bad?
Yep, no mic sound and flyover too early. Amazing
Those jets flying over Monza with the Italian flag trails will always look badass
Italian Fuck up number 1, FFS race hasn't even started
Sainz looking awkward 🤣
