@thatonenigeriansformula Says:
Interesting how so many trees are gone from the track , what’s that about
@weallfollowmanutd Says:
I do have to laugh at the way drivers are complaining about the changes with comments like 'character' and traditional neuances, when they forget the first chicane in 2000 was absolutely vilified back over 20 years ago. The layout was already ruined in 2000. Monza was also way way faster in 1993. Then they reprofiled with medium speed corners in 1994, and has got worse since. The traditional track was long gone. You could argue that Monza is supposed to be super fast, like it was in 1970

I think Bottas will drive for Mercedes in 2025

@leecoates6524 Says:
makes me laugh that a track owner is expected to consult with a driver lol who the hell do they think they are do there neighbours have to consult with F1 drivers when changing colour of their shit house your race car driver no more important than the milk man bunch of wankers sometimes
@servethesongs Says:
Control freaks crying that they didn't get consulted
@RandomlySet Says:
The drivers don't need to be consulted. They don't own the track.... What about all the other race series that happen there!? They don't demand to be consulted.
@larryt.atcycleitalia5786 Says:
STFU and DRIVE! How are they doing with the on-board ass-wipers for these spoiled brats?
@humberto.celleri Says:
@AutosportOfficial , is #FrancoColapinto here to put the character? Have you seen that guy?
@bruceditmas3561 Says:
Cancel the race.... Ricciardo doesn't like the changes.....
@GryphLane Says:
I bet Red Bull were consulted about the changes
@alexbernadina3082 Says:
Zero reason to consult the drivers. Deal with it in the weekend, thats why you have 3 (boring) free practices. Pity this isnt a sprint weekend! hahaha
@JohnH1 Says:
Football players complain about the state of the pitch as do Rugby players, tennis players often talk about the surface of the court, as they have all earned the right to do. But drivers of F1 cars who are highly paid and respected experts in their field are not allowed to say anything? Perhaps certain people should just stick to what they know :)
@craigyirush3492 Says:
If it were an old school track you wouldn’t have these chicanes in the first place!
@DjurtiJhokson Says:
Complaints about not being consulted? Clearly they have forgotten that they are in Italy. This sort of thing is standard.
@MadeOfEarth1 Says:
Chicane 1 changes is not good. Going into the chicane, the car to the right now has no hope of getting a good exit on the outside and catching the slipstream to try a pass into the second chicane. Why didn't they consult with the drivers? It's stupid.
@forcedmedia Says:
Boring delivery
@vidtrax662 Says:
Safety car crashed 🤦🏻 Gonna be tough weekend for drivers. Good and more bad.
@Truckergregg Says:
Was “what’s his name (LS)”driving the safety car?
@b29ak2007 Says:
There is a difference between asking for consultance vs asking for the final say The GPDA should get asked what they need, as should every drivers group that use the circuit + the FIA so that the FIA can go to the track and ask for changes. The bigger question is more if they knew about the changes when they were made. If so, then sure they can shut up cause you already knew it was going to happen
@stormforce7599 Says:
Forget the track as a change is good because no one knows what will happen and we need some unpredictable results.
@Real28 Says:
The ascari kerbs added technique. The drivers talked at length about the spectacle those kerbs added. Now, its gone.
@y_fam_goeglyd Says:
I should be surprised, but I'm not, that they didn't mention the following. The new tarmac is particularly dark. That means that in hot weather, or just direct sunlight (even if, e.g. air temp is not so hot because of a breeze), it's going to heat up far more than last year (edit: assuming the air temps are identical to give a good comparison). Pirelli have suggested that the track temp might hit around 50°c. (Given that statement, you see why I expected a more detailed description of how the changes will affect the cars.) It's going to eat tyres if that's the case, but they've only brought the 3 softest compounds. That suggests that there will need to be more race pitstops than normal. It's also possible that the track temp will keep high air temperatures low down to the ground, which could _poach_ the drivers like kippers in the cockpit! That's always a hotter environment than the outside. There's also no rubber in the track so the practice sessions will be a juggling act. They have limited numbers of tyre sets and will have to keep the majority for qually and the race (a number they don't yet know). Which means they can't waste any during FP although running a lot would improve the rubbering of the track. Also the drivers have to relearn the track, even though the changes appear minimal to us. They are used to it being one way for years - over a decade for quite a few of them. That means they have muscle memory for the older version, and that takes more than a couple of hours of practice to reset! It _could_ be a lot more interesting than people are saying it will be.
@Tzuau78 Says:
I bet Ferrari were consulted.
@folu12 Says:
The main question is, is HAAS at the track yet? lool
@Jackbyrne77 Says:
You mean the FIA have changed something about the sport that is affected its appeal, solely in the name of safety?!?!😱😱 Sorry, but are we really surprised?!?
@dark1810 Says:
autosport take : if you have money and arent a nhs darling we must remember to treat you like a human......oh ok such a basic commie journo take
@naiboz Says:
I forgot the drivers owned the circuits
@michaelwallace1861 Says:
One more thing. Monza lost its "character " when the banked section was removed.
@michaelwallace1861 Says:
Shut up and drive .
@toodsf1 Says:
Who cares if the drivers were not consulted on the track changes? They do not need to be. Many series race at Monza, should the competitors of all of those be consulted too? The Monza people can change their venue however they want as long as it’s still safe according to the FIA
@ferreolopez Says:
what is the point of these two loser fattos?
@eoincassin4265 Says:
You can't call yourself a professional and show up for work dressed like this. One guy looks like he was dragged off the beach after a week in Ibiza and the other is wearing a shirt that doesn't fit him. Also what do the lines at Ascari have to do with the crash of the SC?? WHY the random speculation just for the sake of trying the create a story that you have literally zero information on
@mono-no-aware.Lem. Says:
Crybaby paddock it seems
@petrolheadJJ Says:
The track is same for everyone now drive it. The're the best drivers in the world with most resources for car setup, now just get on with it. Not much to write about apparently.
