2017 Italian Grand Prix - Monza, 1-3 September

[Henk]

Thanks god. A wet weekend would be phenomenal, especially if Verstappen's car doesn't tire itself in a knot again.

If only we could quit the oil diatribe.

Verstappen was set/scheduled to take a penalty for a new engine. Not sure if they'll take it if it's raining.

[SchuMassa]

As it stands, both Friday sessions will be held in wet conditions, while it will be sunny on race day. Saturday is dubious though.

Press Conference Part 1:

oh my... gets popcorn!

[Treble]

It's official: Ferrari won't bring the new engine in Monza. They'll use the third engine, they used in Spa.

Part 2:

Is the planned ''Curva Grande'' change now changed or is it still the same?

[BanMeToo]

Apparently that plan was delayed by one year? I saw a comment yesterday which said that...

Wow did Vettel ever look uncomfortable when Ocon and Perez were first speaking. At one point he even found a very interesting spot in the floor.

Am I the only person not undstanding the over the top hype that always follows Ferrari?
Yes their car is red and they have been in the sport for 70 years. However they don't own the rights to long term participation. McLaren have been in for 51 years, Williams for 40 (or 48 if you include their previous guises), hell even Sauber have made 25 years.

Watching that press conference when the question was asked 'Seeing as it's 70 years, what is everyone's Ferrari moment' I just rolled my eyes and couldn't watch it. I hope someone said 'when their engines kept going bang last year, that was GREAT!!!' But I doubt it.

Looks like a wise decision, however what are the chances that this old engine will perform to full potential without a blown up

Yes, I think you are. . Or maybe you and some of the other from the 2014 brigade.

I've been watching F1 for far, far longer than since 2014. Sorry.
