Well that didn't exactly go well for him last time so i can't see it being any different again sadly.

Same sources say he rejected Renault's offer, so I don't buy that he'd go back to Renault powered McLaren. Unless of course the former was bullshit or he did reject them hoping that he'd be fine at FI and has now been told to f*** off.

Very lucky escape for Ericsson and the marshals in that big crash in second practice.

This is what happens when DRS fails

Massive crash, very pleased to see him walk away with no issues. Two weekends in a row we've seen the benefits of the halo in full force.

 

 

 

Did have a minor giggle at it being Ericsson tho. Keeping that meme alive

I love Marcus Ericsson, but just in sort of a tragic way. :lol: Don’t think I’ve seen this meme though?

It’s that twitter meme where whenever there’s a crash everyone “blames” Ericsson.

 

 

 

Renault today are out for blood. They’ve protested the Haas over an Illegal floor and now have just come for Red Bull on twitter saying that Dani Ric was a DNF because of a clutch failure, and his Renault PU was perfectly fine

Haas knowingly raced an illegal floor in contrary to Technical Directives and thusly Renault’s complaint has upheld and Romain Grosjean has been disqualified from the Italian Grand Prix. (Provisionally of course Haas can still mount a pointless appeal)

That will be crucial for the fourth place in the.constructors championship.

Haas are indeed launching a pointless appeal

 

The FIA warned them if they raced this illegal floor they’d be open to this so I can’t imagine the appeal will succeed

Definitely one of the most thrilling & exciting Italian GPs I can ever remember (they're usually drab affairs aren't they?) Looks like that last hurrah victory for Kimi is not going to happen.

 

Anyways, absolutely buzzing for the next GP as I will in fact be there in attendance!

Absolutely disgusted at 1) the stewards decision and 2) the C4 arselicking commentary over the Hamilton / Vettel incident. I’m hardly Vettel’s biggest fan (and it even gave Kimi his best shot at the win as Ferrari clearly would have played swapsies :D), but to me Hamilton did not leave Vettel anywhere near enough room in his extremely heavy car. I feel like Hamilton deserved a penalty at least as I felt that was pretty dangerous and sure others have been penalised for similar...

Really? Hamilton went round the outside cleanly and vettel understeered into him - even his biggest enemy Rosberg said it was 100% vettels fault! To be honest I don't think either were to blame was just one of those incidents, certainly not as blatant as verstappens swivel into bottas for example.

I f***ing hate Hamilton and am literally counting down the days until he finally retires so he can f*** off and look like a blind person dressed him on a red carpet, but I’m not so sure that he was to fault here

Not Hamilton's fault at all. Vettel had understeer through the corner causing the contact. Racing incident

 

Actually a really good race throughout despite a disappointing end result. Both major races yesterday were genuinely exciting all the way through.

Revised 2019 Grid Predictions:

 

Ferrari: Sebastian Vettel (Confirmed) & Kimi Raikkonen

Mercedes: Lewis Hamilton (Confirmed) & Valtteri Bottas (Confirmed)

Red Bull: Max Verstappen (Confirmed) & Pierre Gasly

Renault: Nico Hulkenberg & Daniel Ricciardo (Confirmed)

Haas: Kevin Magnussen & Charles Leclerc

Force India: Sergio Perez & Esteban Ocon

McLaren: Carlos Sainz & Lando Norris

Toro Rosso: Artem Markelov & Brendan Hartley

Sauber: Antonio Giovinazzi & Marcus Ericsson

Williams: Pascal Wehrlein & George Russell

Prediction correct as Lando Norris has been confirmed as McLaren's second driver.

It was an better Italian Grand Prix compared to recent years, shame that Kimi didn't get that win though.

 

 

 

 

That's brilliant news about Lando btw, nice to see a kid working his way through the ranks into the Sport & get such an opportunity! Now just hoping McLaren don't produce yet another pig of a car.

I guess I watched a different incident to everyone else then, I still look back on it and can’t see any way that Vettel could have made it through without contact. :P Oh well, stewards made their decision, on to the next one!

 

Good on Norris stepping up to McLaren next year, let’s hope they can provide him with a decent car to at least match the Renaults!
