Hamilton going to do just enough to get that 5 second gap.

When's the last time they showed Max on camera? 😆

10 of the best for Max.

Out on his own.

History in front of our eyes.

2011

A great battle between the Ferrari’s.

Hamilton doing better than expected until the penalty is applied.

Max demonstrates yet again that he is the GOAT!!

Andrew76

Monza normally a boring race but that was not bad at all!

mickdw

Madness from Le clerc

Andrew76

The champ champ bossed them all again. 10 on the bounce. Not looking forward to the podium boos though.

Stroll in the park over the radio to Max there.

Which coincidently is what Lance was doing Today at the other end.

10 in a row!!

F1 is in trouble.

Good racing for the first 14 odd laps and good racing behind but if this continues the sport is going to lose viewers worse than the vettle domination and the hamilton domination. its not racing if its not fighting for 1st and there is no fight.

Sainz is mighty impressive defo deserves it and shows Ferrari are backing the wrong horse with Leclerc who is overrated imo

That was a great race for a Sunday afternoon. Great to watch Max really is in the form of his life with a car to match.

Yeah, 5 second penalties don’t take into account how important track position can be. There should be a drive through penalty for causing a collision, so that the driver loses track position and has to do the overtake again.

Found that hugely enjoyable!

Max in a class of his own, plenty of other action across the field though!

Great drive from Perez, good battle between the Ferraris and Alex Albon was heroic considering he was struggling on those tires!

Leclerc isn't as smart a driver as the 3 drivers ahead of him.

F1 is doing better than ever. Periods of domination are a part of many sports. They come and go, proper fans always stay around so let the casuals come and go.

Anyway back to the race, those 5 second penalties are worthless at this track it seems. Happy for Sergio today and Sainz ofc. Sainz driver of the day with all that defending.

Andrew76

That’s some crowd for the podium! Say it’s a great atmosphere.

Penalties need to be an either/or

If the driver doesn't take a Pitstop and serve a penalty then a 1 place grid penalty the next week or something.

2011

That is some of the closest racing in F1 in quite sometime. Fantastic stuff and not just one driver. Perez, Carlos, Leclerc, Max and Hamilton were all fantastic.

Once again Max is able to call that the replay he had justs een of LeClerc lockingn up was on the last lap. He takes it all in 🤣

I don't know you'd nearly want to dislike the sport if you aren't loving what Verstappen is doing and achieving and care more for Netflix drama.

His dominance is incredible to watch if you like seeing people at the top of their game, it's a joy and pleasure to witness it.

"max went so slow on the last lap, because he was watching tv" 😂🤣

Hijpo

How many times does Hamilton have to destroy another drivers race with stupid moves. We have this carry on until 2025, yippee.

He has the race craft of a blind child in a tank.

Indestructable

Iconic podium at Monza.

crowd has been muted???

Well i dont like max or red bull just like a lot of people here dont like/hate lewis, so this is bad imo, I dont wanna watch 1 team win every race one driver win all but 2 in a 23/24 race season dont care for dts so dont care about the "netflix drama" either.

Race was better than most not a classic but better than most of the season.

with the exception of stroll i would take anyone on that grid to win bar either of the bulls

Andrew76

Fair play to Lewis for taking the blame for the coming together with Piastri and apologising to him.

Watching the replays of Sainz battling with Leclerc - great hard racing that. Really impressive from Sainz! He seems to be doing much better against Charles this year? Or that’s the impression I’ve gotten. Don’t think Ferrari has the car to catch Merc for best of the rest.
