Just realised we have another month long break after Singapore (before USA).

Is there any chance Red Bull do a driver swap then, particularly if McLaren overtake them in the constructors. Essentially audition both drivers for the second seat.

EDIT: however, Red Bull management may not make it out alive if they drop Checo directly before Austin and Mexico.

They should dump checo then but wont.

What would be the point? If they were going to do it, it had to be in the break that just happened.

Who do we think is going to be the next first time winner?

Albon if he gets into a more competitive car?

Antonelli is the only new driver going into a front-running car.

Anyone else would require an unusual grand prix - e.g. one which is severely rain and/or crash affected. These things do happen, but the smart money is on drivers from the big-4 teams (McLaren, Red Bull, Ferrari, Mercedes).

Monza has thrown up some odd results in recent times.

But yeah, it's a fair point.

I'd like to know how they work out the tyre allocations, is it about aiming for a certain amount of stops in the race or is it something more arcane?

Nah that's pretty much it. They'll generally aim for 1-2 pit stops across the medium and hards when choosing the compounds. They want a balance of tyres degrading to make the race exciting but not degrading so much that safety becomes an issue

The Lawson replacing Sargeant this weekend rumours are ramping up.

Pass mark for Liam would be not totalling the car for the next 3 months.

His eyes are deadset painted on.

Dutchies have stopped Haas from leaving for Monza because they haven't paid back their Russian sponsor.

Seems set for an announcement sometime this week surely ?
Could have a fair bit of support this week at Monza, with both Lewis (joining the local team next year) and an Italian joining the team next year.

His performance is not improving and is unlikely to get better.

Doohan for the Bradbury.

Antonelli if he's stepping straight into the Mercedes.

Stroll

That would be a sight!

 

[Gunf]

Would love to see Yuki get a win even if it is a Bradbury

 

[Nuggs Bunny]

Could very well see a first time winner this weekend if someone comes out with a full Monza spec car good for this one round of the season

Mathematically, yes. Realistically, no unless Max has a couple of DNFs or finishes out of the points.
