Round 16 and we’re in Monza, a proper classic circuit. Car set-up is similar to Spa, so expect more Max/Red Bull domination and Mercedes to be back in trouble. It will be interesting to see if Ferrari can get through the weekend at least doing the basics right.
I’m no fan of Ricciardo, but it was sad to see his performance last weekend, I hope things improve here but as Monza needs the one thing the 2022 Mclaren doesn’t have- a high top speed- this is extremely unlikely. It's possible that Barrichello's 2004 lap record could be beaten this year.
Here’s to another great race.

Thank you for these threads PIAP!
I expect Red Bull and Max to absolutely dominate all weekend here, in fact I wouldn't be surprised if Red Bull get an easy 1-2.
Sadly, with the pressure of performing for the Tifosi, I'm expecting Ferrari to make an even bigger balls up of their weekend than they've managed of late.
Personally, I hoper Merc are more competitive here than in Spa.

Also Tsunoda is on for a 10 place grid penalty for breaching the reprimand limit.
Might as well take a new engine or two at the same timeIf they put 2 in, only the second one can be used in other races. Rules were changed a few years ago to stop teams *cough*McLaren*cough* hoarding parts but only taking a 3 place drop as they were at the back away.

Do we think a slippery Williams will do better?
One of them maybe, the other, er....I don't think they'll do that well here, everyone else will be just as slippery around here. It's not like spa where Albon can get a decent gap on someone on the straight and defend like hell around the rest of the track.
