2019 Italian Grand Prix - Monza, Sep 06 - 08

I blame Renault for the stupidity!

Why? Renault actually blinked first. Others could have gone out earlier if they wanted too.

fake blink though, he went out and slowed everyone down, nobody wanted to get ahead of him to be the first one out

I find it funny though, all those serious faces in pits

Then don’t wait around till 2 minutes to go like an idiot then.

I would have loved to see who comes out on top, but even so, it's all about the tow anyway, so having that said, I think 2 and 3 for Mercedes is fantastic and might (will?) win them the race tomorrow. On one hand, I think Mercedes will have the stronger race pace and if both Mercerdes can retain their positions beyond T1, I think strategy they might have some options to force Ferrari's hand. Could be Bottas win actually if strategy falls into his lap. Gonna be a good race.

But most of all, I am looking forward to a straight fight between Hamilton and Leclerc.

Rubbish Q3.
Ferrari were the only ones within right to wait out the time as they were already on Pole.
The others though.. that was really silly.

It was a good old fashioned game of chicken, Mercedes said well we're happy with 2nd and 3rd so make your call and Ferrari said we got pole so make your call. Poor Charles will be out there on his own tomorrow with 2 cars behind easier on tyres, faster race pace with no rear gunner, so advantage Mercedes for now.

Stroll Hulk Saintz penalty for blocking. Leclerc and Vettel can blame those 3 for blocking.

The waiting isn't a problem the moving roadblock through turns two and three is a problem.

a bunch of f**king retards, entire f1 grid. all of them. just no other way to put it. f**k em all. if im paying for ticket on the stands i'd be burning the whole place down.

Wasn't that bad, they all played a game, and it finished the way it did. I found it very entertaining.

[Mattyw]

What a mess. Amateur really.

Why has Vettel kept his time? Clear as day all 4 off the track

Of course the waiting is the problem. Even if they all made it none of them would have made good time as they would have been crawling over each other into turn 1.

good times don't matter, but when you're blocking people and preventing them from getting by when you're obviously going slow it's a penalty.

[Phil]

Regarding possibly penalties and those teams moaning about being slowed down - sorry, but if they wait until the 2 minute clock and leave it that late, well, then they're all to blame for putting themselves in that mess. Fair game really.

[Singabule]

I prefer one hot lap for each driver like old days, the championship leader start first! Hell this qualy, wasting our time!

[yelistener]

This sh*t is gonna be worse next year due to the same aero regulations, unless F1 does something about it.

The 2021 regulations will most likely stop this nonsense, not completely destroy it, but water it down to maybe 2017 level where slipstream wasn't THAT important in quali.

Merc have to be thrilled with their grid positioning right now.
