Italian GP F1 Podcast: Why Ferrari was always going to lose
Did Ferrari’s strategy choice make it even easier for Max Verstappen to win the Italian Grand Prix? The Race F1 Podcast delves into that, the safety car finish, Nyck de Vries’ debut and much more
When Charles Leclerc pitted from the Italian Grand Prix lead under the early virtual safety car and no one else followed, it looked like the Ferrari Formula 1 team might be throwing another race away with a strategy blunder.
But as Mark Hughes, Edd Straw and Scott Mitchell-Malm explain in The Race F1 Podcast, Ferrari just didn’t have what it needed to resist Max Verstappen and Red Bull at Monza whatever tactics it deployed.
The battle between Ferrari and Red Bull in the race was overshadowed by the way it ended – and the reasons for the prolonged safety car period that caused a muted finish are also discussed at length.
There’s also plenty of talk about Nyck de Vries’ brilliant F1 debut and his chances of a 2023 seat, and we also questions from The Race Members’ Club on all the big Italian GP topics.
