Abu Dhabi Grand Prix Q3 results: Verstappen takes pole

Verstappen starts well and wins Italian GP with safety car on track

With a superb start and an efficient strategy to take the lead on lap 34 of 53 and not let go again, Max Verstappen (Red Bull) won the Italian GP on Sunday morning (11) and increased his advantage at the top of the Formula 1 standings. Pole position Charles Leclerc (Ferrari) was second and George Russell (Mercedes) completed the podium in Monza.

Four drivers dropped out, most notably Daniel Ricciardo with five laps to go. The safety car was called, all the cars at the front went into the pits, but the delay to get McLaren off the track prevented the final stretch of the race from being exciting. Verstappen won his 11th race of the season under a yellow flag, the safety car only coming out for him to cross the line.

Formula One now stops for three weeks. The next round is scheduled for October 2 at 9am in Singapore, and Verstappen can be champion in this race.

Russell threatens at the start

If Leclerc had faltered at the start, he would have been overtaken by George Russell. The Briton got off to a good start and even switched sides to try and squeeze past his Monaco-born opponent. Leclerc held the lead and Russell complained of being pushed at the chicane of the first corner, as he had to go over the barriers and lost steam in the fight. No penalty was called.

Verstappen flies and thinks

Seventh at the start because of a punishment, Verstappen gained positions in the very first seconds of the race. Lando Norris, who was third, had a slow reaction at the start and was one of those responsible for giving up position to the Dutchman. With faster laps stacked up, the Red Bull driver decided to attack George Russell’s second place on lap five and with a beautiful maneuver put him aside and passed with great pace. After that the thinking was strategic: no desperation, wait for the best moment to attack Leclerc.

Impressive Sainz

The Spaniard’s race generated heated reactions from the stands at Monza for the great number of overtaking passes in a great performance of his Ferrari. Sainz started 18th because of punishments, and even though he was not used to the back of the grid, he managed to gain an impressive 14 positions in 14 laps to reach fourth place. The overtake on Daniel Ricciardo that yielded precisely this position was one of the most exciting, because the Australian was trying at the same time to pass Charles Leclerc, but took the worst even to defend his position.

Hamilton vs. Alonso

The duel between world champions had a new chapter in the Italian GP. Fernando Alonso played hard to defend his position over many laps, but was unable to hold off a great maneuver by the Briton on lap 27 for sixth place. Unfortunately for Alonso, his Alpine had a problem on lap 33 and he was the second to retire.

At about the same time, Hamilton went into the pits for the first time and changed his tires to soft. He came back in 12th place, but made an incredible climb up the order to stabilize in sixth. The most impressive overtake was a double overtake on Lando Norris and Pierre Gasly for seventh place. Soon after, Ricciardo was also left behind.

Around lap 45, Leclerc averaged 0s5 faster than Verstappen, but the mark didn’t seem enough for a surprise on the final straight. But then the unpredictable happened: with five laps to go, Daniel Ricciardo lost his engine and had to abandon the race, which forced the safety car and could have added excitement to the final stretch. All the race leaders went into the pits to change tires, but Ricciardo’s McLaren stayed on track for a long time because of dangers in removing the car, and the race ended under a yellow flag.

McLaren news: ‘Good skeleton’ in A522 helps Alpine one step ahead of McLaren

Alpine insists their recent victory over McLaren is largely down to the strong “skeleton” and backbone of their car.

Until the end of the season, the fierce battle for fourth place in the constructors’ championship could turn into a one-sided battle for Alpine.

With two regular points from Fernando Alonso and Esteban Ocon, France are already 24 points ahead of McLaren – just like this season, with Lando Norris taking all the heavy lifting and Daniel Rie Cardo continued to struggle.

But aside from the drivers, Alpine thinks there’s a lot in the A522 car that allows them to take home an advantage against McLaren.

“We’ve been working hard for years before these regulations started to apply new technology to our cars,” said Alpine’s technical director Matt Harman, as quoted by Motorsport.com.

“It gave us a very strong backbone, a good car frame. There’s very effective technology out there.

“This allows us to focus on our aerodynamic requirements and our mechanical performance characteristics to ensure we can make progress, so we’re in a good position at the moment.”

Focusing on aerodynamics from the start leaves a lot of room for improvement, Harman said.

“The original intention of our car this year was that we just wanted to make sure it was aero,” he said. “It’s about making sure every aspect of the car supports or facilitates air flow. We did that.

“Every technology we put into the car is designed to ensure that we give our aerodynamicists the best possible opportunity to express themselves.

“And I think you can see that there’s nothing holding us back as aerodynamicists. What’s limiting us at the moment is just our own ideas. So that’s an important idea, and I think it’s going to keep us going.”

Alpine sporting director Alan Perlman believes the working harmony between the team’s bases in England and France has also improved.

“Matt really spent a lot of time at Viry (Renault’s F1 engine base) and worked closely with these people,” said Permane.

“On the track we’ve always had a good relationship with them. I suspect in the distant past we might have felt guilty for being two teams, or they said it was the drive unit. It’s not like that anymore.

“It wasn’t designed by Enstone at all. But it was designed in collaboration with them, of course in terms of construction, where the parts are going, etc., so it’s a very strong relationship.”
