120 kilo's heavier in combination with less of downforce !
You know what that means ...

Hard tires? Lol

Max gives the impression that the race setup they have will reduce tire slip and overall tire deg which makes a ton of sense.

Charles seems to give the impression that the car is actually very stable with the low downforce setup so maybe their tire deg won't be as bad as we think.

I would not mind seeing Charles win Monza, I was super happy for him in 2019 in his slow car defending ferociously against LH.

Realistically, the signs are pointing to another Super Max victory.

So Max may start from 4th? Alpine reckons so.

Based on quali, Max should be able to dispatch Nor and Rus pretty handily and I think he'll be able to outpace Lec soon after.

Yeah, race pace wise with fuel load, I believe Ferrari will have trouble with tires, I think RB planned for the entire race with their Downforce setup, and they have about the same average top speed on the straights, with RB's downforce setup.

Remember, it's not if Ferrari will fuck up during the race, it's when

TBH, I think Max loves the challenge, he seems extremely bored when the race goes his way and he just cruises to victory, he seems like he loves fighting hard for the win and challenging Leclerc/Saintz

I feel tomorrow, Turn 1 will be utter chaos, and I expect a few cars to take damage. Not sure if everything seen during FP and QUAL, but the Ferrari's have actually locked up on turn 1 quite a bit (Leclerc actually locked up in all FP and I believe Q2/Q3)

RUS has said Max should be leading by lap 15.

Seems a bit quick especially because I think Max will start on soft and will need a tire change. I think Max will lead around 20-25.

Gonna turn it into a 'street racer' & take myself back to 1987-89

Looks as though Max has that second WDC in the bag

No, it's 'supposedly' for Mrs Chappers to 'pop to the local shops' as she thinks the G31 is "a bit big" says the woman that wanted a Range Rover

As we know MAX , he won't take prisoners !

It's not difficult to understand. We saw what MAX did at Spa and Zandvoort ..

Today MAX's setup was race setup with more downforce , not really a QF setup.
This means thinking ahead

And MAX has Hannah on his side to work on that perfect undercut moment

I think I love her !

That's why MAX is the number 1 ..Some say ..MAX is the reborn Senna !

Also, am I the only one who likes the yellow/black Ferrari firesuits + hats?

Definitely the yellow FERRARI lettering on the wing must remain permanent.

That's correct . MAX is P7 at the startgrid and It's just confirmed by the FIA .

They can now choose any tyre they start on so the final bolt on and who's where on the start grid determine when, still a 'provisional' pole line up with Fia spinning their heads keeping Max on 7th for now.

Of course the v-verde and shpagetti club are in charge of the start grid.
