Lewis Hamilton took the victory at Monza during the 69th Italian Grand Prix after he collided with his title rival Sebastian Vettel on the first lap. The Briton extended his lead in the championship to 32 points.

It would be nice if someone driving a non Mercedes can win the championship.MtthsMlw wrote:Kimi had no chance, Ferrari being fooled by Mercs fake pit stop and using Bottas as a road block which destroyed his tyres. Merciless and dirty win by Merc.
yeah, there was no need for extra fakes. They just looked at the times and were ready each lap. In the end rai had enough pace to prevent overcut, so they just left hamilton out a few more laps.
I don't understand why Vet didn't go onto mediums with that first lap pit stop... maybe he didn't have a new set?
This year these cars seem to understeer more when they are overtaken around the outside. Vettel should have known that, it's not the first time for him.Sevach wrote:Dumb move by Vettel, very very dumb.
Mercedes using their number 2 for all his worth, Ferrari not doing it.
Still fantastic job by Hamilton.
? Was it every tenth they are allowed to give him? Horner is so dishonest comparing clean wheel to wheel to Verstappen's blatant foul. Not a fan of purposefully slowing down a competitor tho... Hamilton would have won even without using Bottas as a blocker.TAG wrote: ↑02 Sep 2018, 16:43What a race. My prediction of a Ferrari 1-3 was wrong, who'd have thunk it? I do hope Vettel's red mist doesn't cause this exciting championship race to fall apart again as it's done in the past. Bottas a fantastic drive, defensive when he needed it, charging when he needed it and smart when he needed it.
Oh the other hand, Verstappen is not only stupid, obstinate and dirty, he's not learning from his mistakes. Still young, but man it the kid thick.
Exciting race to say the least.
Bottas should just learn to drive with a car like that, he has no racecraft. Pretty sure if Verstappen would been in de Ferrari or Mercedes would have won, his time will come and I will enjoy your tears then.foxmulder_ms wrote: ↑02 Sep 2018, 16:39I am sad for Kimi but it was Ferrari who got panicked after Lewis's pit and asked from him to go for it. This killed his tires. Otherwise he may have chance.
Hamilton was just fast today, great race by him. He knew what he was doing.
Vettel does not deserve this year. Like last year, he is doing too many mistakes. I am surprised but I agree with Nico Rosberg.. hahaha
Abysmal actions by Vestappen. He is just sour sour grape. He thinks he can move left right whenever he wants. Weird. Redbulls wonder boy will fall flat on the face of the hype.
As I wrote at the beginning of this thread. Merc and Ferrari is almost identical. Racecraft is the main determinant.
Definitely.
