Formula 1 Heineken Gran Premio D’italia 2021Formula 1

Think they need to change the rules for qualifying for Monza.
Too many fights for the "tow".
3 cars out at a time for a few seasons might be needed to let the teams know not to try this sort thing, While Q3 of 2019 was funny do we need to see it again?

Penaltys do apply on the result of the sprint quali since the sprint quali is the actual qualifying. Who wins the sprint gets the pole and will be in the books for pole position. Bottas doesn't have pole until he wins the sprint quali.
In Silverstone Lewis started the sprint first, Max won, Max got in the records for pole in Silverstone 2021 even if Lewis won the normal qualifying on friday.

 

[Grayfox]

LOL Max with the hook.

Massive crash Sainz with 250km/h. HANS system and the physical neck training etc does its works.

Edit: good he's ok, medical check mandatory.

 

[andrea]

Sainz again lmfao what is this guy doing

 

[PaMu1337]

Kinda weird to crash that hard into the inside wall.
They have a few hours until the sprint race, wonder if they can fix it in time.

Sainz again lmfao what is this guy doing

Looking at the onboard it's difficult to tell what he did to cause it, at least for me. Also his head being so far forward is a worry.

For Kubica's photo album:

LOL Max with the hook.

 

[Grayfox]

Not that scene, max used one of those acting stage hooks

Did anything of note come from the incidents yesterday in Quali? Off the top of my head there was at least 3 that flashed up as "will be investigated after session".

Norris and Ricciardo gooooooooooo!

Gasly noooooooooooo!

 

[BrainsBush]

What a start of the sprint race. Have to see some replays.

Ai Gasly

 

[Grayfox]

Safety Car

That was interesting. Hamilton seemed to have a decent get away, better than the McLaren behind but then the McLaren started catching.

edit: After seeing the replay, he did Bottas the start up after the initial launch.

 

[PaMu1337]

Not much Gasly could do there

 

[Jimlaad43]

So, with Lewis fallen back, will Bottas be deployed to ruin Max's race? In either roadblock or bulldozer fashion?

Looked like Lewis' car started in 4th gear. Have you seen the replay with the camera from above? very slow start

Nope, we'll probably hear about it at some point. He seemed to bog down.

McLaren on the softer tires probably helped?

 

[BrainsBush]

With Bottas' grid penalty Max is on pole position if....

 

[ROAD_DOGG33J]

Looks like our podium is set unless the soft tires go off.

 

[BrainsBush]

Perez that will cost you 5 places

Edit: ok solved

 

[Grayfox]

Excellent performance so far by danny

 

[PaMu1337]

What's happening with Giovinazzi? He's really performing much better recently than he has in the past

 

[Grayfox]

love that speed-vehicle width overlay.

 

[andrea]

Is he complaining about something?

 

[Sum1s2pid]

Still not sold on sprints, but am glad McLaren moved up the grid a bit for tomorrow.

Shame about Gasly. Dude has a lot of work to do.

 

[BrainsBush]

With the two McLarens splitting Max and Lewis this is going to be a very interesting race tomorrow.
Nice Max pole and two points

 

[Roo]

Russell loses out in qualifying to a Williams teammate for the first time.

Christ, was that only 18 laps? Felt like 50.
