Great start for Carlos Sainz against Verstappen in the Italian F1 GP

After more suspense than usual, as the start of the Italian GP had to be delayed by a quarter of an hour due to Yuki Tsunoda abandoning the formation lap, Carlos Sainz had to maintain his concentration and reset the way of thinking. He was ready for the start, one of the most important exits of his life, in the Italian GP, ​​from the pole position, and dressed as a Ferrari in front of the dedicated ‘tifosi’. He went back to the first starting point with the thought of taking it all out. Winning was difficult against a Verstappen who theoretically had more race speed and, above all, better breakdowns. But I have to try. The first goal should be to maintain the first position at the start. And he did it perfectly.

The Spaniard started well and quickly went to the right of the main straight to secure the inside of turns 1 and 2 where there was only room for one car. This is how he defended first place against a Max who did not suffer from his position.

Leclerc, starting 3rd, had to pass Max to help Carlos. The Monegasque slipped behind Carlos on the inside, he slowed slightly in turn 1 and Russell took advantage of this to get on the outside and with a faster attack on Charles with better traction. The ‘Principino’, instead of attacking Max, had to think about defending himself and close the British well.

Behind, Fernando Alonso started from 10th position with an Aston Martin suffering in the long stretches of the ‘Temple of Speed’. At the start of the 2023 F1 Italian GP, ​​Fernando Alonso did not get places and lost one position. After the first meter he was 11th behind Hülkenberg (10th) and Hamilton (9th).
