Unexpected win for Ferrari and Charles Leclerc today in Monza.
Second win for him in Ferrari's Gp.

Another missed opportunity for Mclearen, another win lost, with a better strategy and a no fight on lap 1 between them it was an easy win.

Max now must be worried about the situation, without Adrian Newey RBR is not the same anymore.

Yup totally unexpected.  I kinda stopped focusing on the race when I thought Piastri was gonna win it.  But then I got back into it at the last three laps and was totally surprised that Leclerc was leading.  Lol.  I guess I'll watch the highlights at F1's YT.  It also looks like Leclerc is starting to come on his own.  I saw some clips of him telling his team to stfu when they kept bugging him about some brake setting. 

And yeah, both of Leclerc's wins are special to him...  Monaco and Italy.  The former is where he lives, the other one is his team's home race.  Good one for Leclerc.  Love to see him win.

Basically Mclaren thought that two stints was the way to go (most everyone did so) and Ferrari probably made a mistake that just got lucky and did one stint. Surely the pit stop gives you about 20-25 seconds of break, but then you get fresher tires and go faster, and McLaren had the speed so they thought they could, but somehow Ferrari just kept it going for further and di not lose the position and won.

It's clear that one sting was better option, but looks like it will not be all that much of a good news in the end for Ferrari since they just won by luck. Mclaren will keep on being better and they will keep on getting good results, it is not a secret that we are going to see this situation working for Mclaren for this season and probably next one too.

A generally very bad weekend for Bagnaia, scoring only one point in total and then a stupid racing accident today, Bagnaia would probably prefer to forget the weekend.

But a perfect weekend for M. Marquez, congratulations to him, nobody could have beaten M. Marquez this weekend.

marquez deserved the podium after how he slumped when he was with honda and he was able to adapt well to this bike and give the best results. even if i am not a fan of him, i am happy to see how he got the podium that he has been waiting for. he is now in third position in the motogp standing, and that is already a very good result that he can show and most likely he can still increase his points.

Technically speaking Ferrari could definitely win, but I doubt that will happen because Mclaren is much better, one thing that will be shocking to see is that Red Bull could be third place, and Max could still win. I do not know how frequently we get constructors and drivers have different teams, but in this case it would not even be second, it would be third place, which shows how terrible Perez actually is, because if Perez did anything even remotely close to Max then they would have been good.

The domination of Red Bull lasted like just three seasons, they had one of the greatest dominations ever just recently, and yet now they look like they are third or even fourth fastest car, Mclaren is faster than them by a mile, and Ferrari looks faster, and to be fair Mercedes even looks faster right now. Whatever Red Bull has to do, they have to do it quickly otherwise they are going to lose the title, not only team but Max may end up losing as well if he keeps getting worse results.
