How about that race

Monza played its magic and ensured an Italian team won powered by Honda.

we needed a race like this as fans

Why did Toto Wolf risk Hamilton's limited number of engines for just a few points with 20 laps remaining, knowing their cars were set up to be leading the race and not for coming through the field? Max was told to park his and Bottas could hardly pass anyone. They weren't going to earn many point on Hamilton who is on his way to his 7th Championship. With the new single engine mode for the rest of the year, they will all be running near max!

Yeah, it all makes no sense to me.

You think Lewis would back away just to save the car. He’s a racer and he’s gonna go for it while there’s a chance. I thought he did great to make up 10 positions. Had he dropped out it would have been bad for F1 and for Mercedes.

and even if he has to take an engine penalty, don’t you think he can make up 5 spots in a race. If nothing he’d still finish on the podium the way he has been driving lately.
