Don't think this is related to party modes. They were always gonna be bad in Monza

you're in denial... here comes the traffic jam of doom lol

 

[ROAD_DOGG33J]

This guide time seems to be making things worse.

 

[PaMu1337]

you're in denial

What? RB have always been bad at high speed circuits

 

[TenEightyOne]

All that free space and they all leave at the exact same time. Well done...

True dat.

Just as I did this time last year I still defend that that's just how it is, the cars need the tow or there's no point running a lap. With that said this is beginning to seem far more dangerous than the racing, perhaps we'll see a return to the one-shot lap format just for Monza? I'm torn between the two.

Thats tight Danny, no tow

 

[SlowGrayAudi]

Bad luck for danny, but lucky to make it

 

[Jimlaad43]

Ocon's lap time there shows us why they need a tow.

 

[SlowGrayAudi]

Sainz is on it!!! I hope he does well after bad luck at spa

 

[PaMu1337]

Imagine how this will be on Bahrain Outer. Another very high speed circuit, but a lot shorter.

That will be the most chaotic qualy ever

 

[Skygrasper550]

Sainz is on fire, holy crap. That said, now Leclerc is out. Both Ferraris are now out. Un-🤬-believable.

I think they could've just released some guidance on drafting like teammates can't be within 5 seconds of each other on the straights. This format is good.

In all that mess, Bottas managed to do a 1:18.9xx. Without party mode! That car is fantastic

As most people predicted the party mode ban just exposes that Mercedes have a pretty hot ambient mode.

 

[evldave333]

Albon keeps trying to carry too much speed through turn 11 the lummocks...

 

[numbnuts70]

Ricciardo and the gasman punching.

Did they all do the fastest Q2 laps on softs?

 

[numbnuts70]

Mercs out early.

Was it without party mode? Q3 stints slower. I guess now they turned off or at least turned down party mode. As Q3 engine mode has to be the one to start the race with.

As I understand it needs to be fixed after FP3

 

[evldave333]

RP & Mclaren faster than Red Bull, beware what you protest boys... supreme drive from Sainz better enjoy it while he can...

 

[BrainsBush]

Aaah I thought Q3. Then my mistake.

Sainz P3!

 

[McLaren]

Nice to see Red Bulls protests on party mode are hurting them deliciously ironic.

Enough that a Racing Point & a McLaren beat Max?

 

[Roo]

Less than 2 tenths from P3 to P7.

 

[numbnuts70]

Poor Bottas, if it wasn't for LH....WDCs that would've been.

 

[PeterJB]

Hamilton ballses up the final sector and Bottas still can't beat him.

 

[AshenGraey]

No party mode and Merc still almost a second ahead of the pack!

Red bull not even on the second row....guess they are paying for their protest on party mode??

 

[evldave333]

Enough that a Racing Point & a McLaren beat Max?

To be fair Sainz and Perez have been driving superbly this year...

 

[TenEightyOne]

No party mode and Merc still almost a second ahead of the pack!

Not just that, could be the fastest average lap speed in F1 history?

EDIT: Tree'd by the Sky commentary!

 

[GTFan24]

It seems the ban of party mode made things actually worse... good grief

Red Bull being slow has nothing to do with party modes.
They are always slow on high speed circuits, and RP and McLaren have been pretty close all season. They were always gonna struggle to get on the second row here.

 

[evldave333]

As it stands you could make both mercs start at the back of the grid and they would still come 1,2 even without strat 2.

 

[ROAD_DOGG33J]

Yeah, Albon qualified in 8th last year and the other teams have closed up. Ferrari dropped back. It's not clear that party mode had an influence on RB's performance.
