2019 Italian Grand Prix - Monza, Sep 06 - 08

Vettel went out on softs at the end of Q1 and then directly in the pits. What's the point of wasting set of softs? Probably will do 2 runs in Q2?

he was only 0.3s in clear in the end. that's with verstappen and perez out of quali. They probably wanted to cover all eventualites. He didn't do a flying lap on those softs i think so they should be OK for q3 first run.

Are we to believe that Renault are that close? If is it that Ferrari and Mercedes are just cruising around?

[NathanOlder]

What I dont get is how Mercedes are 3-4 tenths slower in S1 compared to Renault, Ferrari ect. It has the slowest corners on the lap in there and Merc are mighty in the slow stuff.

[Phil]

Will Ferrari beat themselves because Vettel will not give as much tow to Leclerc as is perhaps the plan?

[NathanOlder]

Vettel off the track on his first run there, also Kimi spinning off in front of Lewis must have put him off ?

[Phil]

What I don't get however - they all have two drivers. Instead of relying on other cars of other teams to tow them, why not simply do it yourself and concentrate on an optimal outlap?

[NathanOlder]

And Lewis lost his tow with Kimi crashing out

Yeah , I think its just down to no one wanting to be the first pairing out, if you follow another team out , both your cars get a tow, Then all the shenanigans start and they all get mixed up.

[F1NAC]

what the heck? first they didn't clock time for bottas and then suddenly is up?

[MtthsMlw]

So close between Ferrari and Merc, whoever gets the better tow will be on pole.

[NathanOlder]

Bottas now gets his lap time on the board ?

[Restomaniac]

Gotta love Sky. Bottas’ time appears and around a minute later Sky notice it

[etusch]

Vettel's time is still there. What a fair administration fia?

[F1NAC]

Will need to wait later for replay to see when did he cross the line

[Phil]

On the replay, i think Vettel was just on the line enough to make it okay. Very thin line though.
