#i hope i can catch the race in some reasonable fashion djdjdjd

I was certain Carlos would be in front, all week end Charles was slower on quali sims but better on race pace. He has a different set up.

I’m sorry for Ferrari fans, but I’m à Charles fans before Ferrari and I’m a bit disappointed. But he had great runs, and a great lap with no slipstream. So it’s all good.

Again sorry for Ferrari fans but if a win is possible I do not want it to be for Carlos here. But with Charles luck, the only non RB win could go to Carlos in Monza 🥲 great for the team but Carlos already has a bad ego and bad teamwork we don’t need more.

Anyway I almost hope Max is faster soon tomorrow and maybe Charles could chase him with his set up. But again would ferrari let Charles try and risk a crying Carlos (because with pole he should be favored tomorrow in strategy and we know how he doesn’t follow orders even if they have talked about it before) ? We’ll see tomorrow maybe Charles won’t be much faster even with his set up choices.

No that’s very fair, I think in general a lot of people feel that way!

You nailed it; we know how Carlos usually is when it comes to team orders and generally playing games, how much Charles/Ferrari lost out on before with all the dawdling and bargaining. But now, with a potential Monza win on the line… oh I’m prepared for Ferrari to be Messy 😭

Like, given the chance, of course you’d want to be immortalised as a Monza winner while driving for Ferrari… even if the rest of your career in red has been wholly unremarkable.

The general trend is definitely that Max has atomic race pace so he’ll likely just sail into the lead and stay there. But knowing Charles’s luck, any misfortune Max may have may benefit Carlos more than him.

Charles generally has superior race pace, and with all the pressure of starting at the front and trying to impress the home crowd, it’s not unimaginable that Carlos might stumble here or there (Silverstone 22)

From what I’ve seen people expect the meat of the fight to be between Max and Charles, but momentum is on Carlos’s side as Charles didn’t really gel with the car so far this weekend. I wonder if they’d be allowed to fight for the lead if it came down to it…

Anyway, we’ll see how it pans out, hoping for a good race for Charles, especially after the very meh weekend at Zandvoort.
