“It will be a difficult weekend on paper. The track is not the ideal style for us, we expect Red Bull to be strong.” said Charles Leclerc this Thursday at the official press conference before the F1 Italian GP. It is clear, the favorite is Verstappen because of Red Bull’s massive top speed, now, in another league. However, the Monegasque will try.
In front of him, a Max whose words warned of what was to come. In the Netherlands he won and despite that, he warned that “In Zandvoort, we lacked faster, but we did well on the straights and looked better here”. The Dutchman is looking for his 11th win in 16 dates, the fifth in a row. It seems nothing can tickle the current World Cup leader in the so-called ‘Temple of Speed’. His Red Bull is a rocket and Max is in a state of grace.
We will have to see how Mercedes behave, who at Spa two weeks ago suffered from their greater resistance to progress with Lewis Hamilton 7th in qualifying ahead of Russell, 8th, who could finish in fourth in the race.
George will be the star’s main weapon this weekend, as Lewis will start from the bottom of the grid due to an engine change.
Mercedes may suffer again in the ‘qualy’ and the doubt is to see what Fernando Alonso can hunt in this situation. Waiting for more penalties for the engine change, the Asturian could opt for a very good starting place on Sunday.
