Have a feeling Lewis will win here too by a mile, but will wait until qualifying to see the impact of the restriction on party modes and its impact.

Otherwise:
Norris claws like a monster in the last 3 laps.
Giovanazzi gains 4 places after start
Latifi brings the Canadian Meat Seat back in one piece.
New quotable may include, ". . . and Sainz regrets everything."

Voted for Lewis. We once camped overnight inside the track. We took delivery of a new VW camper at the factory and spent the summer touring Europe (and East Africa.) It's a beautiful forest setting. I'd love to see the F1 race there.

Voted Lewis. I don't think the banning of party modes will have much effect on Merc.

I'll be shocked if the Ferrari's finish in the points.

Voted Lewis. That ban on party modes did't even seem to affect him. Wow, what a qualifying lap that was. Hopefully the race is fun to watch.

I read that it was RBR who were really pushing to get party modes banned and it’s backfired massively here at Monza.

Here’s hoping the quali order is finishing order.

Weather forecast calls for sunny conditions.

hopefully there’ll be some good battles mid pack. I see Lewis cruising to victory.

Voted Hamilton but would love to Max or Bottas win.
I don’t think the Ferraris will score points or even finish.
