Go Daniel!!

 

[BrainsBush]

Gio.

Great start of Daniel. Very agressive Lewis on Max?

 

[Blitz24]

Hamilton is off at the chicane, Giovanazzi spun exiting the chicane with damage, Gastly also moving slowly.

 

[Grayfox]

First Virtual Safety Car of season IIRC

Edit: VSC

 

[Veinz]

**** show already

LETS GO DAN

 

[Touring Mars]

Verstappen and Hamilton knocked wheels at Variante della Roggia, Hamilton complaining that Verstappen "pushed him wide", even though they were going through the tightest chicane in F1 side-by-side. Hamilton loses out and drops back to 4th... can't see Verstappen getting any form of penalty for that.

 

[ROAD_DOGG33J]

That's the start Lewis needed yesterday.

 

[Grayfox]

Wonder if Danny has learnt how to drive the McLaren or its cause its Monza and his driving style less impacted by the less braking zones.

 

[Jimlaad43]

Gio can only blame himself for that. Missed the chicane on his own and then wandered across the track like Vettel in Canada.

 

[Sum1s2pid]

Hope Sainz's car is OK after that bump.

 

[Grayfox]

Both Alpha Taruis are out

Didn't Sainz blatantly bump into his rear wheel? I don't think Giovinazzi is to blame for this.

 

[Veinz]

Hamilton will overcut everyone imo

Sainz had nowhere to go even if he backed off.

 

[PaMu1337]

Unless something weird happens, that's highly likely, yes

 

[Grayfox]

Danny is pushing his luck on the exit of Parabolica.
2 strikes so far and we have just started

Sainz was on the outside and had a car rejoin and squeeze him off the road. The only difference being that Hamilton smashed on the brakes to avoid a collision. Everyone who moaned about Vettel's penalty that day needs to sit there with egg on their face as we've just seen why that was worthy of the penalty.

 

[NotThePrez]

Danny Ric is slowly pulling from Verstappen, just over a second between them.

Edit: Some great racing between Checo and Sainz!

 

[Grayfox]

Sainz had nowhere to go even if he backed off.

But he is in the "Dirty Air" so he will wear out those hards faster, which means he will have to pit more.

 

[andrea]

I'm kinda surprised Norris and Hamilton have fallen so far behind.

 

[Jimlaad43]

Latifi casually running 10th is something I hadn't noticed.

 

[NotThePrez]

I'm kinda surprised Norris and Hamilton have fallen so far behind.

Norris might be trying to defend Hamilton from getting past and going after Danny. The McLarens apparently produce a lot of turbulence which makes them hard to follow. Since McLaren also has the top speed advantage here, it's tough for Hamilton to get past.

 

[andrea]

Lando, what are track limits for 100€

Perhaps you're right, although at first glace it looked like Sainz fault, i need to see the replay again.

Also Bottas seems to be climbing up real quick through the order, i wonder if he will manage at least 5th.

 

[ROAD_DOGG33J]

Look at Bottas go. He's overtaking. Amazing

 

[Sum1s2pid]

Leclerc creeping up on Norris and Lewis. Damn that guy's quick.

 

[andrea]

Legreg is closing in 👀

 

[NotThePrez]

LecLerc might be a threat to Hamilton in a little bit...

Edit: Contact between Vettel and Ocon.

 

[Jimlaad43]

Perez has had clear air for about 10 laps now but he's still 5 seconds behind Leclerc

10$ says McLaren screws this up in the pitlane...
