Although Charles Leclerc salvaged with a second place at the Temple of speed it was Max Verstappen who won on Ferrari's home ground. The Dutch driver was miles ahead when the race was neutralised 6 laps from the end. George Russell completed the podium in third.
ICE penalty for Max so weekend might be at least somewhat interesting. With Perez, Sainz, Verstappen, Hamilton all taking grid drops, the likes of Alonso/Ocon/Russell will be fighting for 1st/2nd rowYou just have to read between the lines a bit. The Championship leader will have his fifth engine of the season fitted for the Italian GP. However, as one hears, it should only be about the internal combustion engine (ICE). Red Bull should not replace any other components of the power unit.
Qualifying will be interesting certainly but I think you could still make good money on a Verstappen win, even with 5+ drop. At worst he’ll start 6th and still win the race.organic wrote: ↑09 Sep 2022, 13:20

Ver's penalty is only 5 places. If he takes pole with lec,ham,sai,rus and per behind him (hypothetically), he starts 2nd or 3rh behind Lec and/or rus anyway. Rus will be sitting duck, then it's a fight with lec. Lots of assumptions made here, but that's how it would be.
sainz also has a 10-place for a new gearbox I believe, but it's not botg as that rule is only related to engine penaltiessearch wrote: ↑09 Sep 2022, 14:10engine penalties for Perez (+10), Hamilton (botg), Sainz (+15), Tsunoda (botg) and Bottas (+15) are confirmed as well now

(edit: those numbers may not be 100% accurate btw, just calculated them quickly myself)
does hamilton need to run in quali(any sessions) if he's back of the grid? asking this because of the rules I don't knowJuzh wrote: ↑09 Sep 2022, 13:51Ver's penalty is only 5 places.

in theory, he needs to set a time within 107% to qualify for the race, but I don't think this has ever been enforced.Ozan wrote: ↑09 Sep 2022, 14:19does hamilton need to run in quali(any sessions) if he's back of the grid? asking this because of the rules I don't knowJuzh wrote: ↑09 Sep 2022, 13:51Ver's penalty is only 5 places.
