F1 2020 :Round 8 Monza

Imagine if Hamilton deliberately crashed out to make it a safety car finish to spite everyone.

Consider sock switch, i'd imagine that is quite difficult :pac:

Sainz is faster on the straights but losing time everywhere else.

My god this is close.

He has a record of finishes has he not? it was podiums, but that looks like finishing - i could be making that up though, have faint memories of mentions of it in recent times.

Cork Trucker

Gasly will be the first french winner since Monaco 1996 if he wins? Sainz first Spanish since Spain 2013?

Gasly and Sainz dancing together ...

Rossi IRL

Hamilton won't do anything sill, he has lost **** all points to Bottas

ScrubsfanChris

That's it Sainz
F**k position "I want this win"

Busi_Girl08

When was the last time we saw the "battle for 1st" graphic?

PsychoPete

Good recovery from Hamilton

Sainz gutted not to get that win, he knows that was his last chance of a race win for god knows how long.

Rossi IRL

No points for Williams shock horror

Cool_CM

Pierre Gasly - fair fups!

That was excellent!

I could cry with Joy!!!!

Slattsy

Fair play to Gasly. Did it well there from the front, didn't panic.

Particularly looking forward to Hamilton pissing and moaning, toys will be thrown.

WHAT A RACE !!!!!!

ScrubsfanChris

One more lap and he would have had it

PsychoPete

Took Gasly at 5/1

tipp_tipp_tipp

what a result. Delighted!

Faugheen

If anyone deserved to win a race this year it was Gasly. He has been great to watch this season.

I’m glad for Italians everywhere that they get the podium anthem at least

ScrubsfanChris

Albon might as start sending out the CVs

This is what F1 should be all about!

This is what we have been missing.

The emotion on the radio from the winners of a hard fought battle, a photo finish, some genuine excitement.

ScrubsfanChris

Gasly screaming on the radio in delight.
Sainz on the verge of tears for just missing out on the win

Hamilton a few weeks ago "was that the chequered flag?" He was so bored.

I know what kind of race I'd like to watch

McFly85

Ah lads, what a race. On the absolute edge of my seat for the last 10 laps. Unbelievable drive by Gasly, delighted for him!!

afatbollix

Its great to see the excitment at the podium. All the hugging and happiness.

Ohmeha

Delighted for Gasly, he deserved this win after showing serious character since losing his Red Bull drive

F1 needed this podium without any Mercedes/Red Bull/Ferrari on it

I think the Pink Mercedes might have a (Racing) point to prove this weekend, and as much as we mock Stroll constantly he has had a front row start here.

They certainly made that Racing Point.

I don't think he was bored, he reckons he was in the zone much like Senna desribed of himself at Monaco in 1988.

He has equalled Michael Schumacher's record of consecutive points finishes today.

Faugheen

Hamilton straight over to Gasly to congratulate him before the cry babies try to suggest it never happened.

It was,

a great line from whoever on Sky...

"Even the covid testing guy is out hugging and celebrating"

BrentMused

Thrilled for Gasly.

Very harshly treated by Red Bull and had a really tough year as a result.

A win today and is pound-for-pound surely the driver of the season so far.

Well maybe not bored
But he was so far ahead the idea that we would be passed our even under the slightest bit of pressure was nowhere in his mind.

Faugheen

Mad that it’s the first French winner since Panis in 1996

tipp_tipp_tipp

Super impressed with Gasly, don't think he put a wheel wrong with all the pressure at the end. Was waiting for him to lock a wheel and miss one of the chicanes. Is having a great season, seems to be mentally in a very place at the moment.

Rossi IRL

Verstappen promoted to Alpha Tauri next race

Franz Tost might crack a smile and no cameras to capture it.

Busi_Girl08

Great for Alpha Tauri to get a win on home soil too

Andrew76

Delighted for Gasly and that we got a decent race for a change. Just shows what we’re missing out on when one team is so dominant.

Jordan 199

Last time there was a French and Italian national anthem on the podium was at Montreal in 1995. Alesi and Ferrari.

Cork Trucker

Is 12 years and on the same circuit some sort of record between victories for the same team even if the name has changed?
