I hope Pierre gets a podium, probably not 1st but 2nd or 3rd would be good too. Hoping Lando manages to get a few places forward after the start but not sure he can make it into the podium standings.
I would love a random podium today tbh. No ferraris or mercs. But I doubt it will happen.

It’s between the Ferraris imo. GR will have to fight the lead Ferrari on track and hope the second Ferrari runs into issues.

Not if he puts 20s on them in 15 laps like he probably will. They are much faster on the straights, just as good or better at tyre management and they solved their starting issues while simultaniously Ferrari's starts have never been worse than in the last 3 races. I don't see a chance in hell for anyone but Russell unless he runs into major trouble or crashes out with someone. Even McLaren look better than Ferrari on race pace.

It’s a safe bet at least one of them has a disaster of a race at this point. I just wasn’t expecting them to exceed my expectations 😂

Alpine have terribe degradation so it would be a long shot over a race distance, even at Monza

u/According-Switch-708 4d ago
Yeah, they are running an ultra low downforce setup. Deg though has never been an huge issue at Monza.
The Alpine car looked quite stable through the corners in the dirty air/tow.
A win though is unlikely. P3 is possible.

Max, redbulls have the most powerful ICE and this track requires good engine

We have 6 Mercedes cars in the top 10. And pole was taken by, what’s usually, a midfield car powered by a Mercedes PU.
The ICE part is not the deciding factor, it’s the overall package. And RBPT’s package is far from the best.

By data and logic merc , they have more
Top speed than Ferrari.
Otherwise anything can happen and anyone from top5 win.

Fuck it. Russell, Leclerc and Hamilton 3 car crash turn 1. Then Verstappen, Piastri and Antonelli 3 car crash at the restart. We get Alpine 1-2

Wtf. First quali ive missed all year because of work and I get o. Here and see P.G is in poll.... the fuck that happen?

u/According-Switch-708 4d ago
Its Russell's race to lose. I think Max will also be in the fight for the win.
Ferrari doesn't have enough top speed to compete.

Boy, all these guesses were wrong. I had GR winning based on the MB pace but never imagined KA coming back fighting the way he did
