If nothing crazy happens in the race we could take some points out of Alpine this weekend with Ocon starting way back. Did not expect this good of a start of the weekend here in Monza. The car certainly isn't suited to this sort of track this year.
God knows wherevthe car is suited to, buy suited or not Lando seems to find 7th!

I don't want to get my hopes up yet, tracks temps expected to be high tomorrow, traction zones are crucial here and the car sucks at both. Lando and Daniel can't afford fight faster cars, they will need to watch rear slip.

At least we thought it wasn't. Given Daniel is up with Lando suggests maybe it is.

That's the aim, takes chunks out of Alpine however that comes. Can expect the front runners to come back quickly during the race. Will be exciting to watch.

Daniel would be p5, Max is P4

Verstappen definitely will jump ahead, but I am afraid even Carlos and Lewis coming from narnia have a pretty good chance of finishing ahead.

As far as I’m aware, pack of the grid is applied first so Lewis goes to back leaving nor&ric 6&7 therefore Max’s -5 gets him to 7th which turns into 5th

Daniel would be p5, Max is P4

Doesn't max have 5 place pen? Surely he can't be higher then 7th?

I know its all a bit farcical but that would be absolutely ridiculous.

Carlos, Ham and Per penalties are applied after Max's pen - Penalties are applied in qualifying order

So it is farcical. And if this is the case sonething needs sorting out.

Ok, that could well be, as far as I’m aware, that was true bar back of the grid penalties but I guess we’ll see tomorrow

Indeed. Amazing how a 5 place drop turns into 2 places in our lovely sport

New idea: anybody with back of the grid isn’t allowed to set a time, gets ordered by wdc position. Anyone with a 10place and pen can’t go Beyond Q1 and anyone with a 5place pen can’t go beyond Q2.
Really easy way of sorting this mess out
