ITALIAN GRAND PRIX 2025 (MONZA)

The shortest race in F1 history, with a few incidents but not big ones. Most of the drama came from McLaren messing up the pit stop for Lando in the end, then asking Oscar to let him by. Commentators and stewards were being really hard on Kimi Antonelli at his home race. The best part of the race was seeing how happy Max was to have won again! 

Practices 

• red flag for gravel and Charles tries to slow fast enough to to avoid passing another car but it’s impossible but they don’t penalize him

• George red flag for losing power

• Davide Valsecchi is here for the F1 love channel! 

• Kimi gets beached in the gravel from going too hard around a corner and his session is over and red flag, noooo kimi! 

Qualifying 

• first time Hadjar is out in q1

• Max on pole! Takes the new track lap record away from Hamilton

• Oscar and Lando second and third. Charles out qualified Hamilton, and Kimi was right behind George 

Race

• they tell Nico Hulkenberg to pit on the formation lap to box to retire the car 

• Lando forces Max off at first corner for the lead and Max goes off the track to keep the lead so they tell him to give it back and he does but he still passes Lando again for the lead

• Charles and Oscar fighting for third but then Oscar gets the position 

• Ocon gets 5 second penalty for forcing Stroll off the track 

• Alonso goes over the rumble strip curbs in a corner and it causes a rear suspension failure and he has to retire the car. Seemed like he was going to cause a safety car but he makes it to the pits 

• Charles steams into the pits and brakes hard before the speed limit line so hopefully he slowed it down enough to be at the right speed limit for the pit 

• Black and white flag for Gasly for track limits 

• Carlos and Ollie collide with reach other but keep going and Bearman gets a penalty

• Lando has a long stop and Oscar gets ahead! But then they order Oscar to let Lando by which he does and now he is racing to get back to second 

• 5 second penalty for Kimi for driving erratically when he pushed Albon off track 

• Max wins!! Then Lando and Oscar, Charles, George, Hamilton 

• Davide Valsecchi does the post race interviews and I absolutely love it, it sounds like he calls Max Verstappen the race wiener

• The fastest race in F1 history, it was barely an hour and a half
