Starting Grid Classification and Times
Mick Schumacher How to survive the worst car and the worst partner
Carlos Sainz An ugly blow against the wall
Barely touching anything, letting everything flow,
Max Verstappen
took a massive step forward at Monza. The sprint classification, that F1 experiment to which the pilots themselves must still get used to, was once again favorable for the World Championship leader, who will start from
pole
tomorrow
, with two more points on his locker, while
Lewis Hamilton
, a victim of a serious error in the exit, will have to settle for the fourth position, behind the fast McLaren. Saturday was also positive for
Carlos Sainz
and
Fernando Alonso
, who will occupy sixth and tenth places on the grid, respectively.
All of the leaders advance one place because
Valtteri Bottas
, the fastest today, is confined to the bottom of the table, due to the changes in the power unit of his Mercedes. Another one of those paradoxical situations to which the Finn has accustomed us, that not even when he arrives first can celebrate at will. After the debacle of their leader, inside
Toto Wolff's
garage
the joy was papier-mâché.
The arrival of the first corner was endless for Hamilton, whose acceleration from 0 to 200 km / h was a second slower than that of Bottas.
Nothing was able to oppose the seven-time champion against the aggressiveness of the McLaren, who had fitted soft tires.
With
Daniel Ricciardo
well ahead, Sir Lewis rolled 80 km in the wake of
Lando Norris
without finding the gap, without being able to take advantage of the longer life of his tires, in the face of the alleged degradation of his rival.
And he still has to give thanks, because with four laps to go, the W12 skid off Lesmo could have been catastrophic.
Gasly, knocked out
At Ferrari, on the other hand, they can outline something like a smile. First of all, for recovering Sainz's car in time after the violent impact in the morning. Later, due to the absence of bad news for 18 laps. A plenary session in the third row, with
Charles Leclerc in
front of Carlos, seems like enough reward for this
Scuderia
in low hours.
The exit, as is the norm at the Autodromo Nazionale, was funnel-shaped. A slight scrape with Ricciardo proved lethal for
Pierre Gasly
, who would drag the front wing into turn 3, where he could no longer fit his car on the waist. As a somewhat minor event, the incident between
Yuki Tsunoda
and
Robert Kubica
, which left the Polish's Alfa Romeo stranded on gravel. After six minutes of
safety car
, the restart was much less disturbed. Alonso, who had already scratched two starting positions, was able to get
Sebastian Vettel out of the way
.
Matching, from eleventh position, the four rungs climbed at Silverstone, seemed almost a chimera for Fernando.
However, the Asturian threw the hook just in case.
And he was about to benefit from the fight between
Sergio Pérez
and
Lance Stroll
, involved in some troubles that forced the Mexican to return the position.
The radio conversation between Red Bull Sporting Director
Jonathan Wheatley
and
Race Director
Michael Masi
was once again very tasty, though it did not lead to anything.
