1st hour has been completed with un unexpected Merdedes at top.

By the looks of it, they are a contender. The Mclaren has really up their game and they are continuously with their upgrades and tests. They have gotten the formula for this classification. They have a few years to continue.

If Ferrari cannot make a high position this GP, the upgrades that they have probably aren't that great. I'm looking forward to this GP.

It will depend mostly on the upgrades of the other cars.
Mclaren can be a real conteder now IMHO, until the end of the season.

Of they can keep pushing upgrades for RBR will be a lot harder now that they have Newey No more.

I don't think Ferrari will be able to fight in every race, I see Norris in a better place.

If Max can keep it consistently at the top, there wouldn't be any problem with him winning the driver's championship. The points that he has can be overturned in a few GP if he doesn't score at all but we all know that's unlikely to happen unless another DNF again.

It does look interesting and it's amazing how McLaren is really a top team now because of the upgrades and their drivers. Other teams should do something, *ehem* Mercedes.

this so far is the race for the title, the others drivers looks already out from the fight.

Max should win, it will be a fun fight for the second place.

That's true, and it's also a funny and appropriate quote, but things have become a bit tighter and hopefully Max will have to work a bit harder for his victories in future, as we'll all benefit from it.


I was also expecting a Ferrari winner, but I'll wait for practice and qualifying, in Monaco it can also be helpful if you give up the early points.

Cmon Verstappen would you give us all a break please?
I was hoping he would finally lose last race after average results in training, but this guy is unstoppable in his RedBull car. 
My prediction was on Leclerc to win in Italy, but he finished only on fourth place with Norris and Piastri on podium.
Maybe Leclerc can do it in Monaco next, it is his home country after all.

From the race of yesterday we come to a conclusion that no matter how many upgrade packages you bring to your car it is always Redbull with Max that wins the race.I would use a Max quote for those saying "if we only had a couple more laps" and that quote from Max is "if my mother had balls,she would be my father" and the moral of the story here is that every team should continue to work hard on even further upgrades if they want to win races.

The front runners are definitely moving closer together, if the race had lasted a few more laps, Norris would probably still have been ahead of Verstappen, but Ferrari have definitely caught up and are clearly the third force at the moment, I'm pleased that it will be more exciting again in the future.

no, nothing is decided at the moment and anything can happen.
Sports journalists name one a day, someone will guess and say: I told you so.

To be honest, we don't even know if Max will stay next year, let's say 99% of the time he will stay but he should have a release clause activated with Newey's departure.

Congrats to Saint-loup, famososMuertos and jeremypwr for winning the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix Yellow Cap @ Superbru

Congrats to crwth for winning the Emilia Romagna GP Challenge

I'm really surprised that this many people predicted the podium successfully. Because of collecting only 13 points in this round I have dropped by 5 places at once. There are still so many races to collect extra points however I absolutely need to make better predictions.I thought Norris was going to overtake Verstappen after giving him a difficult time near the end of the race. Verstappen was especially complaining about the battery but Norris couldn't make it. This was a big disappointment for me.

Don't worry you have done well,I throw up quite a few positions with my choice of putting Verstappen in 5th place today and a Norris win followed by Piastri and Sainz,it was a radical choice from me,it was either make it or break it and I totally break it this time,now the dream of the first place is a distant memory.

Sainz is not better than Perez,he seems an inconsistent driver,in difficult tracks like Imola he showed once again that he is not capable of beating his team mate nor the McLarens so for me Sainz is not better than Perez and I don't think Perez will get sacked in favor of Sainz,Sainz has already signed with Audi in 2026,for 2025 we don't know yet.

Three yellow caps, and a few people all half a point behind, but I somehow managed to only score 12 points. Some things you know you just aren't built for, F1 seems to be one of these things for me! Oh, Tsunoda...


Is this a fair outcome and therefore good riddance? I can't tell =)

Results for the race of today.

The Redbull is still winning but their dominance is not big like before

In the race looks like Redbull has an advantage of 5-6 seconds for 30 laps so far which is not the best of gaps,as a single Safety Car or a car accident can make it disappear in an instant.Just some drops of rain would be hugely appreciated here as the battle between Piastri with the Ferraris looks really great while the first two guys not giving any spectacle,just running their laps and I think if nothing changes Max is going to win again without much of a hassle,easy victory,so more of the same in this race which we all were expecting to be different,it is so difficult to overtake here as even with DRS you need to be a super talented driver to make the move on an opponent who is near the same performance as yours,slower cars are no problem to pass.

I count on Piastri to actually beat Norris in the race as well because he is way more talented than Norris. I also don't count him out from actually winning the race because Max and RedBull are really in a decline period and that means other drivers can speculate this situation and actually give 110% in order to beat Max.

Race is about to begin in 10 minutes and unfortunately there are no signs of rain.

Once Again Max got the poleposition, this time as underdog.
Perez is always the same failure and he will probably sacked at the end of the season, maybe for Sainz.

We have a small probability for rain tommorrow, anyway I bet it will be a fun race since Norris is very competitive and Ferrari should have better tire situation.

I put Norris on podium and for the win with Piastri following and then Sainz and Leclerc.Only then I started put the other drivers and I thought playing it radically would bring up some good shit during the race.I am in no way changing what I put there as I know chances are for real in the race.McLaren has only to be extremely patient with their race strategy and to not make early calls,from what I have seen during these last races the team who have the latest call in the race strategy usually have been maximizing their race like we saw in the last one in Miami.I am sure in here the race will be much more beautiful than the last one so let's see what happens.
