Formula 1 Pirelli Gran Premio d'Italia 2022Formula 1

[Samus]

Michael Masi, sat at home: GO RACING! TIME TO GO RACING BOYS! LAST LAP BATTLE! SOD THE BACKMARKERS!

 

[Veinz]

what a mess

 

[IforceV8]

"We only need one lap"

 

[Demon Drone]

This season has really turned into a stinker.

 

[ROAD_DOGG33J]

Can't finish behind the safety car, if it doesn't come out.

It's out now.

 

[AshenGraey]

Just red flag the race!

 

[andrea]

Peak Italy guys.

 

[Touring Mars]

Well, at least one Aston will see the chequered flag...

 

[OutlawQuadrnt]

Italian punctuality at its finest.

 

[Samus]

Stick a fork in it, this one is done.

Two points for DEV.

Message for LAT...

 

[Blitz24]

1. Max Verstappen
2. Charles Leclerc
3. George Russell
4. Carlos Sainz
5. Lewis Hamilton
6. Sergio Perez
7. Lando Norris
8. Pierre Gasly
9. Nyck De Vries
10. Zhou Guanyu

I will be stunned if they get this restarted so I am posting this now.

 

[Demon Drone]

Feel like I'm watching an IndyCar race with how they've dealt with this stricken car.

 

[MagpieRacer]

They won't get racing again. Shame.

 

[Touring Mars]

Great result for De Vries, but Latifi has had his chips.

 

[Veinz]

Latifi is now 21st in the standings loool

 

[Jubby]

This is a trash finish. The FIA mucks this up again.

On a separate note; If DeVries isn't taking over for Latifi from here on out, it's a travesty.

 

[Famine]

Heh, apparently a race can finish under SC. Who knew?


Edit: Russell is just a podium machine...

 

[AshenGraey]

They should change the rules....if an incident happen within 10 laps of the end of the race they should immediately red flag the race to prevent this from happening again and then restart with a dash to the finish cause this is annoying.

 

[lancia delta hf]

What a frickin **** show. Waste of my 2 hours.

 

[Jimlaad43]

Shoulda let the two lapped cars go, they do have precedence for that

 

[NotThePrez]

As much as it sucks and kills the mood, it's the right call imo. Don't need a repeat of Abu Dhabi '21.

Also, as much as I like Latifi as an individual, De Vries' performance today should be the last nail in the coffin.

 

[PaMu1337]

First RB podium on Monza since 2013

They should change the rules....if an incident happen within 10 laps of the end of the race they should immediately red flag the race to prevent this from happening again and then restart with a dash to the finish cause this is annoying.

They should bring a joker card - if there is an incident in the final 5 laps, they bring Masi out.

 

[Skygrasper550]

Welp, they're finishing behind the safety car.

Amazing drive from de Vries, P9 so that's 2 points for him on his debut. No doubt he deserves an F1 seat.

 

[Liquid]

If it was red flagged, they would normally declare the race as it so close to the end wouldn't they?

They wouldn't actually do that because it's Ferrari at Monza. Leclerc was never even close to winning anyway, declaring the race wouldn't have changed that. Nothing would have made a difference to Verstappen winning; not enough laps left and the race was too close to the end for a red flag anyway.

Ted Kravitz's butthurt tears are marvellous though.

 

[Veinz]

The recovery vehicle took way too long to get to the McLaren.

 

[Demon Drone]

As much as it sucks and kills the mood, it's the right call imo. Don't need a repeat of Abu Dhabi '21.

God forbid they red flag to sort it out. F1 keeps looking more and more like a farce.

 

[NICKname]

They didn't go car racing 😳🥺

Two more wins to go for the world record!

 

[ROAD_DOGG33J]

The recovery vehicle took way too long to get to the McLaren.

Too long to declare a safety car period, too long to get the safety car out, too long to get the recovery vehicle

 

[Samus]

Horner saying that VER was fastest all weekend, must have been in the toilet during quali.

If it was red flagged, they would normally declare the race as it so close to the end wouldn't they?

Not anymore, races are always finished these days even if there is only 1 lap after a red flag.
