F1 returns to the temple of speed—who do you think will emerge as the winner?
Set the scene for me. Formula 1 returns to Monza this weekend for the Italian Grand Prix, a race that has featured on the calendar every year since the formation of the sport. So it’s almost literally dripping with history. Box, box for full wets.
Ahem. The championship battle is finely poised...as in, we’re not sure if there’ll be one yet. But at Zandvoort last weekend, Lando Norris crushed the rest of the field and showed that—on recent form, anyway—Red Bull doesn’t have the fastest car anymore. Imagine typing that just a couple of months ago.
Elsewhere, it’s one of the backmarkers making the biggest headlines: After a crash in FP3 last week, Williams finally ran out of patience with Logan Sargeant, dropping him with immediate effect and giving his seat to Franco Colapinto to keep warm until Carlos Sainz Jr. arrives in 2025.Franco who? He’s an Argentine driver who had been racing in F2 this year until he got the call to step up to the big time earlier this week. He has one feature race win and a single F1 practice session to his name.
Finally, the Italian GP is of course Ferrari’s home race, so the stands will be a sea of red all weekend long. It’s five long years since Charles Leclerc last won here, but if his unexpected P3 in the Netherlands is anything to go by, a surprise result isn’t out of the question.The Italian GP gets underway at 9pm PH time on Sunday, September 1. Yep, it’s September already. Where’d the year go? Anyway, qualifying starts at 8pm on Saturday, August 31.
The most recent race with similar characteristics was Austria. McLaren was pretty handy there, so let’s go for a repeat of the team’s one-two here three years ago, followed by one of the Mercs in P3. Topped the speed traps at the Dutch GP, didn’t they? Well, except for Perez. And few people expect to see him on the podium again on current form...Sergio Perez will punish us for saying that and romp to victory having notched pole by six-tenths.
