Ferrari seem to be porpoising

More teams are .. you hear the MB, ALP/AR are also complaining.
Not especially strange in this battle of ultra low DF, but still.

Free practice boring with this tyre allocation

the Red Bull looks surprisingly slow on high fuel

Ferrari take new components for both drivers. No Penalties

They also use their ERS software token for the season - allows you to make a temporary adjustment or something?

Looks more like bouncing than porpoising to me. The track is quite bumpy.

You would expect less porpoising with lower downforce all other things being the same... but it's a clue now that the teams also run softer springs at Monza?

but we need more full wets even though we haven't had any racing on full wets in quite some time.

Do you think last week at Zandvoort before the red flag, when it was pouring rain to the level of full wets, had the Alfa not crashed would have they red flagged the race? I'm not sure.

From what we have seen of the capability of the full wet tire, drivers would have fallen off the circuit and if it wasn't for the Alfa crash, it would have been for someone else's crash. The drivers have said the full wet tire is horrible.

Verstappen has switched to the trimmed flap rear wing.

Merc and McLaren might be fighting Albon in quali again

[FW17]

Will there be track limit deletions in this track? Lesmo and Ascarai exits seem to be prime spots to gain an advantage

[AR3-GP]

Mclaren has a problem with their DRS. It doesn't close properly.

I just watched lando on the run to Ascari and the wing was open, and then in the brake zone it was stuck like this for a few seconds:



It fully closed a moment later
