This is how we live Checo Pérez’s comeback and Max Verstappen’s triumph in Monza

Checo Pérez in the fast Monza, how far can he go starting from P13?

Max Verstappen wins the Italian Grand Prix. Czech Perez traced from P13 a P6. It seems good, but Sainz and Hamilton came back more. Nyck De Vries in his first F1 race, finishes P9.

PODIUM

  1. Verstappen

  2. Leclerc

  3. Russell

It looks like the race will end with the Safety Car. It’s lap 52 of 53 and the safety car is still on track.

Verstappen, Leclerc to pit. Russell P3 same. Sainz P4 to the pits… will there be laps left to run?

Safety Car: Ricciardo stayed on track. Some teams wait for their cars.

Checo Pérez to the pits. He will have 10 turns left to come out with the knife between his teeth and pass with rubber tires. The Mexican came out P7.

It looks like Verstappen is going to win another race against Ferrari and Leclerc. Sainz is P4, 14 seconds behind Russell. 12 laps left. Will he catch up?

Charles Leclerc follows 19 seconds behind Max Verstappen. The Dutchman did not loosen his pace, and he defended very well. Everything comes out to ‘Mad Max’.

Right at the exit of Norris, the Briton finds himself against Pierre Gasly’s AlphaTauri, but Lewis Hamilton was the ‘winner’ as he passed both and the former champion is P7. Not bad after leaving P19.

Norris did 34 laps on the medium tire. Degradation, as the drivers said, is not a problem at Monza. Perhaps Checo will be able to finish the race with this set of toughs. Czech Perez ya P5.

Lewis Hamilton to pits and came out P12. More or less like this it would go to Checo Pérez if he stops. Will the hard ones that he put in almost at the beginning of the race hold up? He has 26 turns with them.

Charles Leclerc pits and switches to soft compound. While Carlos Sainz passed Checo Pérez and is P6. Leclerc remains P2. Now it’s the chase for Ferrari, it doesn’t seem like Red Bull is going to stop with Verstappen again.

Fernando Alonso on his chest. Czech Perez gain another position. And it was all for the Spaniard, he withdraws from the race. Now Checo Pérez is behind Lewis Hamilton by 4 seconds and with a better pace on the hard compound.

Carlos Sainz Jr. to the pits in race 31 of 53. The man from Madrid has a soft compound and starts P8, behind Checo Pérez, but Sainz with a new and soft tire.

Max Verstappen with better pace than Leclerc, is seven seconds behind the Monegasque.

Lewis Hamilton completes the pass on Alonso and the Englishman is P6. Checo Pérez, P8, is 7 seconds behind the Spaniard from Alpine.

26/53: Max Verstappen pits and goes from red to medium. It would be everything for the Dutch pilot. Will there be another stop for Leclerc? Charles Leclerc takes the lead.

Lewis Hamiton, who has not pitted, is P7. He has 23 laps on the medium tire just like Fernando Alonso, with whom he fights for P6.

Pits Stops: Several pilots have started their arrests. The window opened on lap 18. Checo Pérez is already P11. The Mexican driver has to keep a fast pace to protect himself when he stops for the second time, it will be difficult for him to go to the end with that tough game. For now, the strategy overcut works for 11, now depends on race pace to complete it. If not for more, then it was a undercut to all those pilots who passed.

PIT STOP: Charles Leclerc goes to the pits and goes to the media. He started with soft. Would it be enough for the end of the race? Max Verstappen leads.

Lap 12/53: Sebastian Vettel stays on the track. It was all for the German’s Aston Martin and causes the Virtual Safety Car.

The Mexican driver is still in the race. Very strange that white smoke coming out of the right front tire. Carlos Sainz is already P7 with the Ferrari. Charles Leclerc in P1 1.5 seconds behind Verstappen.

Checo Pérez to pits: goes from medium to hard. There is a lot of smoke in the right front tire, something wrong with the brakes.

Lewis Hamilton lost in P18… Monza has not treated the multiple champion well: last year they crashed against Verstappen; now the rhythm does not appear

Carlos Sainz Jr. is already in the top 10. Checo Pérez P13, is led by the two Aston Martins.

Lap 5 of 53, Max Verstappen passes George Russell and the race begins between Leclerc and Verstappen, heads up.

Lewis Hamilton, who started P19, was only able to gain one position. It is normal for riders like him to be cautious in the first corners, when it is difficult to pass and very easy to get hit. The fastest cars always have the most to lose.

Max Verstappen attacks George Russell for P2. Charles Leclerc 1.2 seconds behind Russell.

Carlos Sainz has already passed Checo Pérez and is P15.

THE ITALIAN GP STARTED: Charles Leclerc holds position; Russell follows P2 and Norris P6, he was the one who lost the most. Varstappen from P7 to P4, another good start for ‘Mad’ Max. Czech Pérez from P13 to P15. and Carlos Sainz is P16.

Already in formation lap… Checo Pérez started with yellow rubber.

Is he Italian Grand Prix16th date of the 2022 season of the formula 1one that is being dominated by Max Verstappen.

in the swift Monzaone of the ‘cathedrals of world motoring’ next to Indianapolis, Le Mans, Monaco, Silverston y Spa (does it happen Suzuka already earned the right?), Ferrari has stood up to the Red Bull y Charles Leclerc will start from pole. His mission is clear: go as fast as he can to escape from Max Verstappenwho will start seventh.

Carlos Sainz Jr., has a more complicated one: reaching the podium from 18th position. But no individual effort is enough in the formula 1 to win, this is a team sport par excellence, and that is exactly where Ferrari has failed the most this season: poor strategies, poor race reading and poor pit stops have doomed the efforts of Charles Leclerc y Carlos Sainz before in Monza in front of the tifosi?

Czech Perez he also has a comeback career. The Mexican driver will start 13th with the Red Bull and it shouldn’t be much of a problem to get to the top 10, but it would be desirable to go further forward and directly attack Carlos Sainz and his attempt to reach the podium, there would be the competition of the Mexican who achieved a podium in ‘the temple of speed’ in 2012.

The starting grid, after multiple sanctions, was as follows:

  1. Charles Leclerc from pole

  2. George Russell

  3. Lando Norris

  4. Daniel Ricciardo

  5. Pierre Gasly

  6. Fernando Alonso

  7. Max Verstappen*

  8. Nyck De Vries

  9. Guanyu Zhou

  10. Nicholas Latifi

  11. Sebastian Vettel

  12. Lance Stroll

  13. Czech Perez*

  14. Stephen Ocon*

  15. Valtteri Bottas*

  16. Kevin Magnussen *

  17. Michael Schumacher*

  18. Carlos Sainz Jr.*

  19. Lewis Hamilton*

  20. Yuki Tsunoda*

Pirelli expect a run to a single stop. The window would open between laps 18-24 for those starting on the soft compound; 23 to 30 for those with a yellow rim. Then you can go on the hard compound and finish the race – maybe some, like Carlos Sainz o Lewis Hamilton starting from the bottom, try a long initial stint on the soft tire and execute many ‘overcuts’ on your rivals. We’ll see, it all depends on the pace of the race.
