I'd expect some fireworks - my guess is neither Yuki nor Daniel is there next year (one up / one out)

This is Yuki showing he is still immature. He wasn't going to get that pass done and only ended up making Daniel miss his window (being on softs / having Max lap them). Yuki pulls a large market and has matured some, shenanigans like this put a real negative view on an otherwise positive race.

Alpines fault for sending out Ocon close enough to get slipstream from Max and then Ocon for trying to capitalize on it.

They ran FP2 for 90 minutes without issue shortly after covering with cement, I'd say those won't be an issue now

First of all, why with all the TV production there, could the telecast not get a single live shot of the section in question? It wasn't until 25+ minutes after red flag they showed this picture.

Thanks for pic and live link... It's exactly what you'd expect, 20 dudes standing around watching one dude look at the hole scratching his head... I feel bad for anyone that actually paid to go to see FP 1/2.

Well... Looks like Max was right, all show, no racing.

RB is expected to not be as dominant next season. Having another driver besides Max who drives in a similar style to Max sounds in theory like a pretty good strategy to remain a contender.

As it was and shall be 🤣

Not an ideal first win with it being a sprint and Max's clinch of the season, all the same, great to see for piastri and team McLaren.

Imo, in years past, there's generally THE driver and then the other team with an outside chance. This year, 1 is sealed but 2-5 is pretty much wide open. So give Max and RB their due and then watch the others vye

Monza overall was a snooze fest. Outside of Max being held up by Ferrari and by the way, it was never a question of if he would pass but when, the rest of the action was horrendous. I'd say this and a few other older and smaller tracks need to go, however with their legacies, that's unlikely. The next best thing would be more DRS to have in theory battles back and forth throughout the race.
