watt:MB, F or RB all could win Going to be fun!!!
That’s not even gonna be close. Red Bull has the far superior car everywhere on track. Ferrari has slightly higher top speed but that doesn’t come in to play much, if at all. And Mercedes only had some advantage on medium speed corners.
It was only close cause Hamilton dragged that car to places it should be be in. Only way Ferrari can win is a mechanical problem for the Red Bull and only way Mercedes can win is if Ferrari fucked up their strategy AFTER Red Bull retires.
Binotto nice sandbag saying Max would gain .5 sec w new tyres, maybe they'll keep it together. Chuck n Carlos are quick when Binotto puts the right tyres on. Uh Oh, Carlos said 'many options w strategy'
MB lost their last lap tp Perez spin.... Did you have the splits showing they weren't competitive?
But I hope you're right.
The start should be amusing.

CGX car nut:George made the call and Lewis could have made a similar call. But everything is now reduced to second guessing as Lewis doesn’t enjoy competition within his team.
RUS was a split second away from taking both himself and HAM out. If that had happened, I would have paid to be a fly on the wall in the debrief meeting.

Haha, Lewee almost took himself out Lap 1 again; and Totos post race comments tell that Lewees insufferable behaviour is getting old for the team so the debrief will be ugly as is!
MB pace has improved and given the disaster that is Ferrari, as i said before MB will likely finish second in the Constructors
BTW, Lewee fkd up himself but of course screamed at the team:
"But at the same time, they could not factor in what happened. Hamilton did not admit after the race, but he had made a mistake. He had the engine in the wrong mode at the restart. That's why Verstappen found it so easy to pass so soon - Hamilton was down on power"

and team radio shows just how wrapped RB is.

In my eyes, Lewee completely redeemed himself here:
I only saw highlights as I was at Indy all day.
Red Bull again demonstrated they have the best car, Max literally just drive right pass Hamilton o. The restart.
Ferrari, hmm, oh boy. That’s all I can say.
Mercedes gambled. And lost. Russell demonstrated why he was signed. He is the future of Mercedes.

Ferrari reveal striking new look for Italian Grand Prix anniversary
Thomas Maher7 hours ago
Ferrari have unveiled the yellow team gear Carlos Sainz and Charles Leclerc will sport for this weekend’s action at Monza.
Ferrari are heading to their home race at Monza this weekend as Formula 1 descends upon Milan for the Italian Grand Prix.
While their championship challenge has faded significantly during the middle part of the 2022 season, there are still plenty of reasons for the tifosi to feel jubilant for the Monza race as Ferrari appear certain to challenge for victory on home soil for the first time since Leclerc’s historic 2019 win.
To celebrate the occasion, Ferrari have come up with an unusual new look for the grand prix weekend at Monza.
Ferrari roll out a yellow colour scheme
Taking to social media on Tuesday, counting down the days to their home race, Ferrari showed off shots of race drivers Carlos Sainz and Charles Leclerc sporting yellow T-shirts.
One tweet had the caption “C²”, referring to their two drivers, and included Sainz and Leclerc in a variety of poses to show off the clothing range.
“Shop the Monza look – get your hands on the new ‘Giallo Modena Special Edition’ T-shirt NOW,” said another tweet.
The reason for the colour yellow is the team are celebrating 75 years since the inception of the Scuderia as an independent constructor (which was actually Enzo Ferrari’s second attempt at a team). This is also the reason for the 2022 F1 car bearing the moniker of the ‘F1-75’.
Yellow and blue are also the colours of Modena’s flag and arms, the city in which Enzo Ferrari was born and raised.
For now, it appears the team’s yellow colour scheme only applies to team gear and race suits, with no plans to change the base of the car livery. However, there could be a nod to the yellow included in the form of a logo emblazoned on the nose and sides. This is yet to be confirmed by Ferrari.
While Ferrari have raced with yellow colour schemes in various motorsport categories during their long history, a yellow Scuderia Ferrari F1 car is particularly rare. In the early 1960s, teams such as Ecurie Nationale Belge and Ecurie Francorchamps, both Ferrari-affiliated teams, raced in yellow.
There has been only one yellow Ferrari F1 car that raced officially for the Scuderia, which was fielded by the team for Olivier Gendebien at the 1961 Belgian Grand Prix. The Belgian driver won the Le Mans 24 Hours with Ferrari and was given the chance to race his 156 at the Belgian GP as a ‘thank you’.
