Three stories to follow at the 2022 Italian Grand Prix
Tension is rising around Ferrari
Arriving at Monza should always be a source of joy for Scuderia Ferrari, but in recent years it has only meant trouble. Gone are the years when the Italians dominated the Autodromo Lombardo with Michael Schumacher and Rubens Barrichello. From his goodbye Kaiser only Fernando Alonso in 2010 and Charles Leclerc in 2019 They are the ones in red who were able to celebrate at home.
In this 2022, things don’t seem to be any different despite the winning potential they have shown all year. And that’s a problem.
Ferrari’s lack of top speed this season has been an endemic problem that has dogged them and prevented them from winning on more than one occasion. In a layout like Monza With so many straights and where the effect of downforce is almost non-existent, it’s hard to imagine them on top of the podium.
A Grand Prix that takes place amid a sea of criticism of Ferrari’s sporting structure for its strategic decisions in recent races and which could jeopardize its constructors’ second place.
“Super Max” continues on its way to Monza
If one thing has become clear this season, it’s that if Red Bull can stay in the race, it’s likely that no one will be able to dislodge Max Verstappen from the top spots for years to come. The Dutchman has proven that 2021 was no fluke and that he is capable of making history.
With the victory at Zandvoort, Verstappen already has 10 wins in 2022, of which 4 have been scored consecutively. Red Bull won France, Hungary, Belgium and the Netherlands, an area that left him on the way to the second World Cup, but it does not end there.
If Max won in Italy he would become the first driver since Lewis Hamilton in 2020 to win five races in a row and the 9th in F1 history.
Daniel Ricciardo, in focus
Daniel Ricciardo’s departure from Renault to McLaren was understood as a move that could see him return to winning ways. However, the Aussie’s balance in those two seasons couldn’t be worse. Apart from, exactly, winning Monza in 2021, his performance Richie It was much lower than expected.
The reason for the dismissal of the Australian pilot in favor of his compatriot Oscar Piastri It is based on this very poor level. A fact that put him down in the last Dutch Grand Prix, where he finished penultimate (17th) while his teammate was 7th.
Ricciardo has moved on from being rumored Alpine, Haas or Williams to be able to stay out of Formula 1. In a chat with Sergio Pérez before the last match, a fan caught him telling the Mexican that he would take a weekend and return in 2024.
Ricciardo’s last three weekends were forgettable (15th, 15th and 17th), but Monza was always a track where he performed particularly well. Will the momentum change or continue to sink?
