It ends rather disappointingly the Italian Grand Prix, not so much for the show that the 20 riders gave us, but for the much-discussed management of the Safety car which lasted until the end of the race, with safety and entertainment paying the bill. The two Ferrari drivers also pay for it, who conclude with frozen positions: Charles in P2 and Sainz, author of a great comeback, in P4. Climbing the top step of the podium for the fifth consecutive time is Max Verstappen. The Dutch already from the next Grand Prix in Singapore, will have his match point, given the detachment that grows, to become the 2022 World Champion. We have seen a lot of battles on the track, and also some great comebacks, but just as many retirements. Let's see the tops and flops at Fanta F1!
TOP
Verstappen: Perhaps Max allowed himself a small dose of emotion to stand on the Monza podium for the first time in his career – and moreover on the top step. The Red Tide won't be on his side, but you don't experience such an energy often. Max scores 5 out of 5 and comfortably continues his sprint towards his second world title thanks to another proof of superiority and maturity from the whole team.
Sainz: Sainz starts from the back but doesn't get discouraged and puts on a great show on the track arriving in P4 also thanks to an F1-75 in excellent shape, and with a Fresh Power Unit that you can squeeze like a lemon. Carlos deserved more for the comeback and the quality of the overtakings. Not for nothing has he secured the vote of the Sky public which elects him as the best driver of the day. To underline But also the excellent comeback by Hamilton who takes home a nice nest egg at the Fanta F1.
Schumacher: A clean race with some overtaking to be framed for Mike Schumacher, he too started from the rear, arriving one step away from the points.
Bonus: DeVries
Nyck de vries immediately scores a basket. Exploit the full potential of a Williams that flies in the straights and surprisingly brings Williams home 2 precious points on his Formula 1 debut. Great race for the Dutchman who arrived quickly and furiously to replace Albon who had an appendicitis operation yesterday.
FLOPS
Alpine: We expected a great weekend from the two French cars who finished with a retirement and a sad 11th place at Monza, with Ocon even overtaken by Zhou and De Vries. Esteban gains only 3 positions from the starting position while Alonso follows close behind the other old circus lion, Vettel who retired due to a problem with his car.
Aston-Martin: A massacre for the English team that collects two retirements out of two due to a technical problem after a positive trend. There are those who had chosen them hoping for a comeback but what they bring to the Fantamanagers are two very heavy -10.
Latifs: He doesn't finish last and moreover he bulliedly takes them from his teammate who arrives in the points on his debut in F1, placing himself in front of him. He had tried a few chances on Schumacher with a good fight but that wasn't enough.
