F1 Italian GP FP1: Ferrari is 1-2 in the standings, but Max Verstappen is another dimension speed[F1-Gate.com]

The first free practice session of the 2022 F1 Round 16 Italian GP was held at the Monza circuit on Friday, September 9, and Charles Leclerc (Scuderia Ferrari) marked the top time.

Scuderia Ferrari adopted a yellow coloring for this event, which was a memorable Grand Prix for the 100th anniversary of Monza. Drivers wear special yellow racing suits and helmets.

Also, in FP1, Aston Martin F1 replaced Sebastian Vettel with Nick de Vries in the rookie FP1 frame, and Haas F1 team replaced Mick Schumacher at the request of Ferrari with Antonio Giovinazzi. I put it on

Sunny weather in Italy on Friday. The 60-minute session started in dry conditions with an air temperature of 26 degrees and a track temperature of 33 degrees.

Charles Leclerc recorded the top time in the first free practice session with 1:22.410, followed by Carlos Sainz Jr. who was just 0.077 seconds behind, followed by Ferrari 1-2. George was 3rd. Russell, Lewis Hamilton in 4th and the Mercedes F1 cars were 3-4 on the timesheets.

However, the best time of Max Verstappen (Red Bull Racing) in 5th place was held down by Lando Norris (McLaren) on hard tires during the attack on soft tires in the middle of the session. In the time sheet, there was a 0.430 difference from the top, but in reality it showed a sense of stability that could be seen in the 1 min 21 sec range.

Furthermore, it should be noted that in the long run, he was more than a second ahead of the Ferraris. Verstappen, who has been demoted 5 grids due to the ICE exchange, looks strong in this tournament as well. Contrasting teammate Sergio Perez was 14th. He seems to be struggling with the low downforce package.

Esteban Ocon was 6th, and Fernando Alonso and Alpine F1 cars led the midfield in 7th. Yuki Tsunoda of AlphaTauri followed in eighth place. Pierre Guthrie, who avoided media work the day before because he was “ill”, ran without any problems and set the 13th fastest time. There must have been reasons to avoid transfer talks.

Antonio Giovinazzi, who runs a Haas F1 team car and is being considered as a candidate to replace Mick Schumacher, appealed with a performance of 0.3 seconds behind Kevin Magnussen.
