The scary part of all of this... can you imagine the speed of this Red Bull at Monza? They'll be untouchable.

They? You mean Verstappen. Perez making silly mistakes, still behind Sainz in P3.

Max is setting the track alight. He is the fastest F1 driver we have witnessed. How come he is so much faster than anyone else, even the sister RBR?

Priority doesn't mean you can squeeze the car on the inside. Alonso's front right tire was already on the right hand side kerb. Hamilton had to give 50 cm to Alonso, and everything would've been 🍑
Ironically max pulled the same move last year at Imola on ham. Difference is ham backed out
No I think it was Hamilton's fault this time, coming with a late braking move from the outside, and the squeezing the car on the inside. Just like I thought it was Verstappen's fault at Silverstone.

Both racing incidents of course, and predictably with the car on the outside coming off (much) worse.

I'm... thinking the opposite? They're basically asking their driver to making the decisions for them.

Compare that to Red Bull or Mercedes where they've got the strategy in mind and look to the driver to confirm.

Here, it seems Ferrari is asking Charles what the go is and then making the strategy up as they go along. If they would be bothered telling him that Russell is pulling away at a huge rate of knots, they probably should've thought of pitting him a lot sooner to try and get some decent pace on fresher tyres and pull the gap back in.

Terrible start, pushing Leclerc etc. His pace is always terrible compared to Verstappen. But I'm of the opinion that's more because of Verstappens excellence and not because Perez sucks.
