Looks like Ferrari are giving it all they got to get P1 at their home race. Wouldn't be surprised if they're essentially sacrificing engines for this.

Isn't there a lot less greenery at Monza, this year? In places it almost looks like it's recovering from a forest fire. Just drought, I suppose.

Yes, this comparison had been posted on reddit & discord. Brundle mentioned a big storm earlier in the year in FP1 or 2.

Watched the onboard of Max's fastest lap; he makes it look so effortless. Gas, brake, steer. That's all there is to it.

Max just casually went out, set the fastest lap, by some margin, and retired to the garage. Saving his tires for more important matters.
