LOL, no such luck. Here we go again with one team with clearly a faster car than the rest. Oh well such is F1 racing...

Ferrari now have a complete package. Mercedes are now lost to respond. They stay too long with the long wheel base. Motor wise Ferrari have .2 on them easily it seems.

There is no reason for Ferrari to lose races other than by their own doing. They have the fastest car and two top three drivers. It should be game set and match!

Now that is funny!

Looks like whoever laid out that course doesn't realize what a crappy turning radius an F1 car has. At least they are putting on a show in Milan. I stayed in Milan a few year ago when I went to the Grand Prix and you would never know a race was even going on. No posters, no souvenirs, nothing. Only time you saw any fans was on the train to Monza.

Ok, glad to see Kimi get the POLE!!!! Would like to see him win one more before he hangs it up. Just know that after the first turn and team orders come into play, he will have to let Vette go by. Anyway hoping for a good race.

ayrton88 · 09-01-2018, 04:31 PM

I hope Kimi disregards team orders. Especially if he doesn't think he'll be signed for next year.

I hope he can get away well at the chicane..

but seeing that bitter-vettel after the qualify... can imagine he won't give raikkonen a easy time at the start...

however, even if raikkonen can get away at the start... I'm pretty sure ferrari will try to do anything that doesn't look like a team order to swap the position...

+1 its so close with Lewis Ferrari cannot afford to let points go away from Vettel. If possible an 'engineering' of a swap has to be planned already.

sometimes I am really puzzled how come ferrari have to pit raikkonen so early...

it didn't look like he was losing time to hamilton at the end of his first stint, the gap was consistently around 0.8-1.0s.

there's no significant blister(s) on his tires, he didn't complain about lost of traction.

and he was extending the gap on verstappen.

but ferrari bought him in... just because they saw mercedes send out the crews??

For the pace that raikkonen was having during the first stint, he can stay out for at least another 3-5 laps, or even 8 laps like what hamilton did.

at least he can have some fresh tires to compete with hamilton.

also, why ferrari would ask him to push when behind bottas?

they should know he can't pass bottas, and to push like that will just kill the tires, which it did.

raikoonen could have just stay behind bottas, thus also able to nurse the tires, wait til bottas pit-in then compete with hamilton again.

Nice summary here.

God-Speed · 09-11-2018, 08:24 AM

Well, it's official. Kimi is off to Sauber for 2019. I've got nothing!!

Hotrodz · 09-02-2018, 01:08 PM

I will say it again the only reason for Ferrari not win is because of their own doing. They got totally out gamed by Mercedes and Hamilton and Bottas executed their strategy perfectly.
