2019 Italian Grand Prix - Monza, Sep 06 - 08

[Shrieker]

Leclerc played it dirty twice, but whatever it takes to win as a Ferrari driver at Monza I guess. The most he was going to get at Monza was a yellow card, and that's exactly what happened. At least he won't be complaining when Max pulls similar moves on him in the future, amirite ?

Vettel and Stroll should've been black flagged by the way.

Too much people forget what happened in Canada and the outcry from drivers themselves. If they penalized leclerc like many people are wishing it would be the same situation.

So good job by the stewards anyways. Just cause your boy Hamilton didn’t win it’s not enough of a reason to go on a penalty spree

Leclerc won dirty. Period. If it was other way around you would be crying foul. What is the point of black+white flag if your are going to give another warning *after* it??? How many warnings are enough warnings?

Third one is a penalty isn't it?

for once ferrari's straight line speed was simply too much to handle.

As a side note. verstappen couldnt pass perez for like 25 laps sitting in his drs. That new merc engine is no slouch.

Wasn't Perez running a brand new spec 2 Mercedes engine? Just curious

I believe they brought out a new spec 3 but I'm not sure. I think they all had spec 2 engines available but spec 3 they simply only had enough for one for everyone. They supposedly rushed one overnight from the factory to get installed this morning. They should have had spec 2 engines around and ready so I can only really imagine it was a spec 3 getting rushed over.

No once a black and white is shown then next is penalty!

Well yes, he was. But so was verstappen.

edit. I know he (perez) was running a new engine, i presumed it's the latest spec? Spec 3? honestly, i forgot which one is it.

Holy macaroni!
Ferrari without slipstream and on slower tyres is faster than Mercedes aided by slipstream and DRS. Did they build this SF-90 dragster only to secure a win in their home race?
PS: Monza finally confirmed - Honda is the weakest engine on the grid.

I asked that question. Were they that desperate for a home win that they sacked off the WCC and WDC to achieve it?

Perez was on a new spec 2. He reverted back to an old spec 2 for this race which blew up and he got a new spec 2. That's why he didn't have to start from the pit lane (same spec).
If I'm not wrong though..

I have no preferred driver. Had Hamilton won the same way leclerc did, I would still say the same.

I mean, suck it up. How many times ham did the same and nobody said anything. He might do the same to leclerc in the next race, fair stuff.

Why is there a desire for hard competition and rivalry, if the one time we have a fight you’re gonna scream “Penalty!!!! Penalty!!!! This is not racing!!”

[El Scorchio]

Have to agree about Leclerc’s driving. Great for the sport but a bit dirty. Definitely got the rub of the green with the stewards too- but would you expect anything else in Monza?

I can’t help but feel he got an advantage cutting the second half of the chicane which kept him in the lead after going off.

i think you may be right.

It is more complicated than I thought. Thank you both

Do you think guys that Lewis did throw away his only chance in this race when he moved to the left of Charles too early instead of wait until arriving at the braking zone and then dive bomb into the inside?

he was too close to not move to one side, but there was no use coz Leclerc kept on moving 3 to 4 times! so no use
