Formula 1 Pirelli Gran Premio d'Italia 2022Formula 1

[Jimlaad43]

The Autodromo Nazionale do Monza celebrates its Centenary this year, as the parkland circuit was initially opened in 1922, so coupled with Ferrari celebrating 75 years of competing in Motorsport, this is going to be a proper Italian celebration. Max Verstappen is looking unbeatable at the moment, so he is going to be trying to get his first win at this circuit to spoil the Ferrari party. Mercedes will be hoping to join in the fun and get their first win of the season. However, the past two years have thrown up crazy races and unexpected winners, will anybody outside the top 3 teams find themselves on top of the epic Monza podium above the straight covered in Tifosi? We will only find out at the ITALIAN GRAND PRIX!

Please make the tifosi proud, Scuderia. Screw up extra hard, your fans are waiting!

We are asking them to screw-up the screw-up? You know far too well that they will screw that up too.

Weekend hasn't started yet, but that's not holding back Ferrari:

Can't screw the strategy if you don't make it to the track.

Can't screw the strategy if you don't make it to the track.

They'll find a way

 

[McLaren]

Trying to get the bad luck out of the way like Charles with the 312 T4, but unfortunately, the Formula Gods are not so easily satisfied.

There’s a chance that Ferrari might be running a special livery this weekend. Special liveries almost always lead to great results :

"In order to fail during a race, you must first make it to the race..." Clever.

They're dressing like a yellow flag for when one of them inevitably leaves the pitlane with a wheel not properly attached and has to stop at T1.

 

[Blitz24]

Ferrari is running the national colors of Belgium/Cuba/Russia?

 

[Liquid]

Ferrari's alternate has been yellow with black in the past due to the badge. I seem to remember their pitcrews wore yellow and black in the early and mid 1990s as it tied in with then-fuel supplier Agip.

 

[MagpieRacer]

Looks good, yellow is the true colour of Ferrari is it not? Was hoping to see an all yellow car but this is still decent.

 

[Liquid]

What a horrid way to show off a livery. Get rid of that background.

 

[Samus]

I like the logo on the rear wing. The rest, not so much.

 

[lancia delta hf]

I always wanted Ferrari to do a season in yellow or at least one race.

 

[Veinz]

I'm just glad it's not a sprint race weekend.

Back when nomex overalls were for the drivers only and pit lane speed limits were inexistent.

 

[NICKname]

Ferrari is constantly celebrating various anniversaries or otherwise invoking nostalgia and they never get it right. They didn't even paint the entire engine cover yellow. At least it looks better than the time Mercedes wanted to do an old school livery but wouldn't commit to anything beyond the front wing.

 

[Mr Grumpy]

I really thought they were going to paint the whole thing yellow.

They obviously only had a tester pot of yellow paint.

 

[SestoScudo]

Im really annoyed with Ferrari.

I was expecting a, all Giallo Modena livery just for this.

Thanks Ferrari for ruining my dream of seeing a Ferrari F1 car having all yellow.

 

[Blitz24]

Looks like this guy will be on hand for the race weekend.


For those who don't know him (probably most people), he is half responsible for this song, which has seen an uptick in popularity in the United States over the past 2 months.

Nah, his most famous song is Freaks. A dually memed song, being the basis for the "When Mom isn't home" Trombone Dad and Oven Kid video, and also for someone discovering that the melody is made using the stupidest Synthesizer app called "Delay Lama".

One disappointment out of many for the Tifosi this race weekend. Fully expect Max to run away with the win, Perez being a lonely second and at least one of the Ferrari's retiring.

 

[Dennisch]

Lewis is changing his engine and starts at the back, Perez and Sainz will probably do the same.

At least back then they didn't leave their toys lying around on the floor.

Yup, another 'back of the grid gang' forming. HAM, BOT, MSC already confirmed, as you say PER and SAI expected, as well as TSU for reprimands.

EDIT: Add another to the list, VER with a 5-place drop for a new ICE.

5 place drop will put him 6th to 8th. If Russell gets a good qualifying it will be between him and Leclerc to lead lap 1 (or crash each other out).

With all the other penalties VER could conceivably start still 3rd if he qualifies on pole thanks to the quirks of the system. Assuming the penalties for SAI and PER are confirmed, of course.
