How home hero Kimi made history at Monza – Italian GP Review

28:59Did you remember that lap? It was two tenths of the pole. alone with no stream. Antonelli already yesterday, after all the free practice spending working on the race pace, he did one single lap and he scared the field. That is my personal feeling. No one speaks about him because we already knew that at the penalty, that was behind, we don't care. But already, scared the field. So we've discussed the Mercedes 1-2. There was another man on the podium, of course, and it was Max Verstappen doing Max Verstappen things in a car that was not easy to drive. I thought he was magnificent today, relentless throughout in a car that didn't have the straight line speed of the people he was racing.

29:46How did he get onto the podium? Because he's Max Verstappen.

29:50Lawrence Barretto:And, you know, I just think, you know, I think he's got those extra few tents that we joke about that he can do something pretty special with whatever machinery that he's got. I asked him in the TV pen about, you know, the overtakes that he pulled off today, which for me, some of them were outstanding. And he was just like, well, I have to because this is the car that I've got. And if I want to make positions in the race, I've got to be late on the brakes. I've got to get creative with the way that I'm trying to cut the way through the field. But I think I do love these vintage races with Max where he really is up against it, but still has a car to be able to do it.

30:26Lawrence Barretto:You know, I think yesterday he was irritated that there's clearly the rear axle gives him problems. It breaks at random points. And I think that that unpredictability is irritating for him. It tends to be a bit better generally in the race. But I think this was another example of, you know, as the Ferraris didn't quite get it right today, the McLarens were off the pace, Max was in a position to maximise the result for Red Bull and he has a habit of doing that, boys, doesn't he? Spectacular performance from Verstappen. Considering that, probably it was come back from the roster racing weekend of his career, not quick enough against his teammate in Qualen's handboard, crashing in the first lap on wet, that usually is his speciality.

31:11I mean, probably was one of the worst, if not the worst one. A performance like this impressive. And also from my point of view, he had also a technical issue during the race because he was following Antonelli three seconds away. And then when he overtook Norris for third or fourth, in the next few laps, he ran for three laps constantly, two seconds higher or two seconds and a half higher than Antonelli in front of him. So from my point of view, he had the technical issue with the battery. and Norris overtook him again and he needed like five or six laps to recover that position. So from my point of view, he suffered also from very important technical issues, but he pulled out an amazing performance.

31:50And probably that overtake at the beginning, because he had a good start. Then again, another second very good start. That overtake before the Ascari to Leclerc. He created also chaos in the mind of the rivals. and helping out to ended up in the podium. Very, very, very high level performance. He's just such a clever racing driver, isn't he? Yesterday in quali against Mercedes, why Russell was not on pole? Because, did you saw the replay, the footage, before the Parabolica, he tried to be in the middle between Antonelli and Russell, taking the toe of Antonelli and giving trouble to Russell. I mean, I don't know.

32:36That is in qualifying, right? I was actually going to say, do you remember when the Mercedes were racing each other today and lots of overtaking, and Max was able to hold on to them just by clever use of the boost button and all sorts of things. He had no right to be anywhere near the Mercedes today, yet for lap after lap, he was clinging on to their coattails, and I just thought, oh, Max, you beauty. You beauty. That's just vintage Max.

33:02Lawrence Barretto:And it's just a highlight. There are a number of deficiencies, aren't there, with that Red Bull on the chassis side and the deployment side. And yet, like you said, he's able to get round those and find some extra lap time. And he can do it so consistently through a race. And even like Davide was saying, when he has that blip, it didn't seem to put him off. He just kind of built his way back into the fight again. So, you know, it must have been tough for the McLarens to try and fight him because they must have felt that they had the upper hand over Red Bull this year and they just couldn't find a way to stay ahead of him.

33:38Lewis Hamilton diving to the inside of his teammate. The Ferraris are close. Hamilton and Leclerc making contact and Lewis Hamilton brushing the gravel and losing positions. He tumbles down the field to P9.

33:51Lawrence Barretto:There Charles. Can't find his way by. Charles Leclerc is open into the wall. Charles Leclerc into the barriers and out of the race. we're going to talk about ferrari at home now i felt the team came to monza with such high hopes the engine upgrade they thought and as a result we thought was going to give them the boost that they needed to challenge for the win lewis hamilton in the thursday press conference was i felt very hopeful he was talking openly about what it would feel like to win the italian grand and it never happened for the team. Hamilton could only manage P6 in the race after a disappointing qualifying.

34:34Let's not forget, he very nearly got knocked out of Q2 by Gabriel Bortoletto. And of course, Leclerc had that horrible accident on lap two. So, Davide, sum up Ferrari's weekend for us from an Italian's point of view. Yeah, I'm disappointed about the performance because I think that the expectation from the team they were much higher and yesterday they were sure to be in the fight for the pole position. So probably yesterday there's a bit of frustration, but I'm honest. I'm disappointed about the driver today. I think the overtake that Lewis Hamilton beautifully and very hard in a very hard way did on the inside at the first break surprised completely Leclerc that he didn't see him.

35:29And then Leclerc replied immediately in the second part of the chicane going early on the and doing a line that thinking to be alone. So you force the rival to stay behind if you are lucky. If you're not lucky, lucky that happened. You force your teammate to the gravel. So first mistake, not mistake, but first not perfect race conduction. He got surprised by Hamilton. He replied immediately like he was Verstappen against him and not his teammate. He used all the battery to overtake Gasly for the second position. He got it at the first break. He ran out of battery immediately after the second Lesbos.

36:18He lost the position of Verstappen before the Ascari. No battery. He was losing the position to Piastri before Parabolica to try to not lose two places in one lap, he tried to resist all the outside to Piastri and he lost the car in the middle of Parabolica destroying a Ferrari the second lap. He lost the control and he lost the calm and he lost the talent because probably the frustration was to hide for him at that moment and he made a very silly mistake for a huge talent like him so I'm personally also a bit disappointed about the driver because everyone 400 ,000 person were here for Ferrari and at the second lap we don't accept to lose a position we crash the car into the parabolica.

37:14From my point of view was a big mistake for such a great driver and I'm disappointed for it. I feel sorry for it.

37:22Lawrence Barretto:I'm disappointed that we didn't get a chance to see what Ferrari's pace really was around here in race trim because of that obviously Charles had the accident so we didn't really get a read of that Lewis was pushed back to P10 in the in the mire there would be that frustration as well that he wouldn't be able to get out of his head about that incident with Charles at the start and if you take if I take you back to the start of the weekend I interviewed all three of them Charles Lewis and Fred in Milan flagship store they were so excited about the weekend because as you said tom they were bringing the engine upgrade with a duo they'd brought some chassis updates specifically for monza which most teams weren't really doing and i think there was this real belief that they'd been chipping away and they could maybe maybe make something magical happen at this magic track and it looked pretty good on friday and then qualifying didn't go their way but then suddenly with penalties that happened they were third and fourth right so third and fourth behind an alpine they had two cars to go and attack george russell it was said and they fight each other at the first corner and they fight each other in the first corner and we are speaking about the best driver in the formula one history or one of the best by result and a huge talent that probably deserved championship and they didn't have yet i mean how crazy is it four thousand person here watching for them.

38:45We fight each other in the first corner. I'm sorry, I'm very disappointed about our driver because I think they are two of the best in the world and they act like a bit of children today fighting at the first corner in front of 400 ,000

39:04Lawrence Barretto:people for them. It's tricky, isn't it? Because I think if you look on it one side, Lewis felt hard done by how things went down in sandvort i'm sure there'd been a bit of mindset there charles view is probably lewis probably shouldn't have stuck it up the inside of turn one i'm not saying charles did what he did deliberately to lewis at turn two but i i think it's both of them i think to davide's point i think ferrari's issue here is not actually not the car it's actually getting their drivers to be at one We saw Mercedes, Kimi and George fighting for the title. They did what they were told in Sanford.

39:42Lawrence Barretto:You know, they did everything so efficiently. Lewis himself said that. They come here and Ferrari didn't even give themselves the opportunity to deliver on the hard work of the boys and girls at Marinello that have upgraded this engine and made this car better. Because in this moment, they define the race already. And it just, it made no sense to go up against each other at Turn 1 and Turn 2. unless there is confusion between them as to how Ferrari are going to deal with this championship as we get into the spicy end right Lawrence that's a really interesting point because Lewis after the race was very strong on the rules of engagement at Ferrari he said at Mercedes those rules are written down they aren't written down at Ferrari so what are he was asking I'm quoting Lewis what are the rules of engagement so i feel fred vaso has five days until we're on track again at the next grand prix to sit down with both of them and work out what those rules of engagement are and write them down so that you've got something to show them when it goes wrong again yeah i'm honest i don't care what are the rules did you win today no kimian tunelli did from last you had to do a better job.

41:00I don't care about the rules. I mean, they were not good enough today. Why? I don't know. They fight each other. Stop fighting. There's matches where you don't need a referee to try to adjust yourself. We need to put rule to a seven-time world champion against one of the best drivers in talent in the grid in Formula One. Come on, we are kids or we are professionals? Well, David, on the evidence of today, yes. Yeah, and I'm sorry to hear that. Really, I'm sorry to hear that. Leclerc has been surprised by a very harsh, a very aggressive attack from Hamilton. Joan Pablo Montoya said he dive-bombed in the first break.

41:42Too much, probably. But he was very aggressive. Little space. Come on, let him pass! Let him pass! In the race, there are going to be 25 overtakes. Let him pass, you took one!

41:53Lawrence Barretto:so I think that is a fair point I think I think given what Charles knew about the car and how long this race was he should have had the confidence perhaps to to leave it a little bit longer to fight back rather than react immediately but I think to Tom's point if it was much clearer in the rules of engagement right that you can both attack each other into turn one Charles probably wouldn't have been surprised by a Lewis dive bomb down the side and maybe would have reacted differently because they knew what the rules of engagement were i think ferrari are just in this spot at the moment where they are chasing and they can't afford this they just can't afford it anymore so they if that if what is needed is for lewis and charles to sit down with fred and go right this is what the rule is one of them might not like it but this is what the rule is going forward because they are chasing mercedes who are up and away at the minute and you can't be going away, throwing away potential results like this.

42:48Right. So this raises the next point, which is Hamilton is now 76 points behind Antonelli. If he's going to have any chance of challenging for this world title, do Ferrari need to just put all their eggs behind Hamilton and make Leclerc just stay in line?

43:06Lawrence Barretto:I really didn't want to entertain this prospect, I think, before this race because I felt until this race, Charles wasn't out of it. We'd just seen Lando win two races. He was a similar number of points behind the championship lead that Charles Leclerc was. And so from that perspective, I could kind of understand it. But I think when you're heading into a Grand Prix like this, I think you have to consider that Ferrari need to have a good result here. So I think you need to consider that as a separate topic. Now going forward, what do they do? I think it's very clear now that Lewis is the best set.

43:44Lawrence Barretto:So if they want to even entertain the prospect of getting into this fight now, especially when you see a drive like Kimi's delivered today, where you're racing someone almost immortal in the level of performance that he's delivering, I think you just have to be pragmatic about it now. And there's only nine races left. There really isn't a long way to go. And it's not like Frey have got this massive performance advantage over the rest that they can be a bit more deliberate in the way that they attack a weekend. They just have to go out there now and try and get the best result that they can. And with Lewis in the better position, it kind of feels like they're going to have to start to go that way.

44:22OK, but we need to be realistic. We need to remember that after the fight, there was a red flag and then a restart. And Hamilton was immediately, immediately in the fight for taking the victory or the podium. He was immediately in front of Antonelli. He was 8th, Antonelli 12th at the restart. They were not quick enough. And the engine of Mercedes scared the others. Because today Mercedes was unbelievably strong. There was Alpine there, there was Norris there, there was Piastri there, and then there was Ferrari. So, if we want to be realistic, we also realise that if we are going in the next few races where there are long straight for sure Mercedes engine we'll have some advantage and that is clear

45:14Lawrence Barretto:the other thing that Ferrari might just have to consider is that maybe the championship is gone this year and it is going to be too hard to fight and I'm talking about the drivers championship particularly and so maybe the greater focus has to be how do we just have a smooth productive weekend as a team how do we go to Madrid now and it doesn't matter about whether or not it's Charles or Lewis who's going to come out on top there how do we go into that weekend and find a way to win whether or not that is Charles or Lewis ignore the championship just find a way to operationally strategically work together in that way because at the minute they don't seem to be in a position to do that be clear with the drivers about how they behave on track and I would write it down a la Toto Wolff Ferrari are very well positioned in that it's Fred Vasseur who's going to have to have these chats because I think it's a very difficult conversation that he's going to have to have with a seven-time world champion and Ferrari's golden child and it's difficult but fortunately for Fred his man management has been incredible that's been one of his skill sets coming through the junior formula and into Formula 1 is the way he manages drivers but he's known Charles he ran him at Sauber, Alfa Romeo he's brought him here they can have a difficult conversation Lewis they've had this relationship for how many years now they can have that difficult conversation I think that's what it's going to have to be Tom I think it is going to have to be them sat in a room lock the door get a bit of paper out and have some hard truths and I think actually for Ferrari I'm not sure I would pick any other team boss other than Fred currently to have that conversation but it's got to be a tough conversation they've got to have some home truths I think in that chat.

50:06Right, so what about McLaren? They finish fourth and fifth on the road, having won, of course, the last two Grand Prix. The big question coming to Monza was, can they make it three on the bounce? The answer was no, but I think they were more competitive than maybe they were expecting.

50:24Lawrence Barretto:Is that fair? Well, I tried to suggest this, right, to Orlando Norris at the pen, because I believe that. I feel like they've made a step forward on this kind of specification track. I think actually coming here, without the H-Wing, I think the mindset was they were going to struggle a lot here. I think they really felt that they were going to struggle. And actually, if you look at the way that Oscar Piastri performed this weekend, I think he leveled up. If you look at the way that Lando was able to fight back after having the brake issues to finish fourth, actually, I think they've outperformed what was possible with that car coming here.

50:59Lawrence Barretto:So I think they've made a good step forward. I think it's just disappointing coming here and not winning after you've won the last two races. So I do understand his frustrations, but I think they made a step here. Well, I mean, 22 points is a decent haul, isn't it? For any team, actually, particularly when you know, perhaps you don't have the slow speed grip that you need through the chicanes here and things. But can we just finish this McLaren chat talking about drivers again and the battle that we saw between Norris and Piastri? I thought Piastri was, he had his tail up today. I felt he was back in the groove that we haven't seen for a while.

51:37And I think this was his opportunity to make a statement, which is why he was harsh with Norris in those battles. OK, he lost again to Norris at the end, but he's coming back. I'm happy for him because in the last few races, he was not good enough. Also in qualified, that usually was one of his strengths, not a single lap in quali. I think Norris was making the difference on him. But this weekend he was better on the poor performance. Yesterday he showed that he was quicker in the first try. Then in the second try he was the one to give the toe. So he was the first to take all the air. He made the mistake immediately in the first corner.

52:19Not in easy car to drive in Quali, I think, the McLaren, because many times they missed the first corner, both drivers. Then as soon as he cut the first corner he could pull out a bit the stream to the teammates. But he back off immediately, tried to not give help to Norris, I think. And then Piacic started in front of... He took the triple position penalty. He was anyway in front of Norris, because he was sixth instead of third. And Norris started eighth. And then today he stayed in front of his teammate for the most part of the race. In the last few races we saw that when they put the hard compound on, Norris was much faster than Piastri.

53:04Today they were almost even, almost even. In a normal race weekend, with not so many overtakes, that today was easy to overtake. Come on. In a normal race, I think he was going to finish in front of him. So I'm happy to say that they keep fighting together, but Piastri is coming back. He's bringing back his confidence and I'm extremely happy to realize it. I'm happy for him.

53:29Lawrence Barretto:Yeah, this was a huge weekend for Oscar. I think he really needed it as well because Lando had obviously come away with those two wins in Hungary and in Zanvoort. It's not going to disappear, is it, talent? So I think it was significant from him. He felt good on Friday, which I think was critical. He built the way through quality to the point where he could have been in the fight for pole. And I think the way he handled today's race was impressive to the point when he talked in the TV pen, even though he'd got beaten by his teammate again on the road, he was actually pretty pleased with the way he handled himself the way he battled him very fairly and like you said tom had his tail up i think he had his tail up because he was able to drive the car in a way that he was potentially personally privately worried he couldn't do this year it's one track and so i'm not going to get too excited but i think that was the first time for me having talked to him all year long where it felt like oscar could do what he knew he could do with that McLaren we can talk about the old Oscar coming back brilliant and guys one last chat we must have a quick word on Pierre Gasly Gasly is out of the parabolica can he do something over the line Pierre Gasly does it that is absolutely unbelievable he's won a round here before and now Pierre Gasly has pole position for Alpine.

54:52Absolutely incredible. For the first time in Formula 1, Pierre Gasly takes pole. Extraordinary. Let's go! Let's go! In way for that one! Okay, he finishes the race in P7 but talk about seizing the moment he had a car in qualifying good enough for pole and my goodness did he do it to get his first pole in formula one his first pole i think since the 2016 gp2 race in abu dhabi wait i think until until the end of the race was like a movie so yesterday first few Two laps. Norris and Piastri cut the first chicane in Q1 because, I don't know, a temperature issue, they complain. And Gasly immediately third.

55:47Then Q2. Gasly still there on the top three or top four. And they said, come on, it's going well. We see if Russell is going to take the pole easily. And then there is Gasly that has nothing to lose. Second try. The only one that is improving in the first sector. Norris was already four tenths more off. The only man. I said, come on, he's doing it. At the end, bang, pole position. Movie. We were on the grid. Juan Pablo Montoya and I. And there was Gasly coming out from the car, going in front of anyone else, sitting down and watching the long straight until the first chicane. I said, mamma mia.

56:31He's feeling it. Real start, started much better than everyone else. It was five meters in front of everyone. I mean, this is an hero situation. Most important time of your life or your career, one of the most important, and you delivered the perfect start. I mean, I really feel that was a great weekend for Gasly. Ended up seventh, I don't care. He did whatever it takes to be a winner driver, and I loved it. So well done to him and well done also to his team because yesterday, best qualifier of his career for Colapinto. It means that the car was there. So congratulations to Alpine.

57:13Lawrence Barretto:Alpine have just done such a great job with this upgrade that they brought to Zandvoort that Franco had on his car here as well. We've often talked in recent years about whether or not a team in the midfield can kind of take the fight to the big teams. so McLaren kind of did it when they dropped back and they pulled in. I really got the sense this weekend that Alpine might be on that trajectory to start closing that gap because I think you've got to take your opportunities when they came. Pierre did that job yesterday when the conditions were clear. There was no freak accident there. They just did the best job possible.

57:48Lawrence Barretto:They have moved back ahead of Racing Bulls who are doing a really good job of updating and producing a race car that's quick. Arvid Limblad said today that it's quick at every circuit. I think an Alpine are doing such a great job to not give up on that fight. And I think what I enjoyed, particularly with Pierre today, is that he didn't get carried away by the moment of being on pole. He was just like, let's just be pragmatic about what is the best result that we can get for Alpine. I'm still going to have some fun up front. I'm still going to defend where I can. But he just built the perfect race like he has done so far this year.

58:21Lawrence Barretto:I think that was his ninth point score as well. I talked to a few people in Alpine this morning. p6 p7 is what they thought was realistic that's what he got p7 you know that included this kimmy antinelli fight back as well and he got good points and actually that franco was able to go off track having briefly been in third and then get a good couple of points as well for the team shows that that is a very good race car now look it's a very specific track around here but i think the job that they did here was that off the end stone of old like a really pragmatic efficient making the most of the resource they've got to go and get the best result possible and okay Franco probably should have got one more position if he hadn't have had that off but beyond that it was an incredible job I thought by Alphie.

59:08Yeah it really was. Do you think he was driving angry I'm talking about Pierre after losing that Monaco podium on Friday?

59:17Lawrence Barretto:I really actually don't think he had Monaco in his mind I think what we saw this weekend was the Pierre Gasly that we've seen all year right the start of the year it was between him for me and Liam Lawson as the drivers of the season in the midfield I think we've seen a new Pierre this year who's been able to come out of his skin enjoy the team leadership role there he's had that period of races both him and Franco where the car was nowhere really they were losing out to racing bulls Audi were catching them and then he got the car that he he wanted and he was hopeful in Zanvoort did a strong weekend there and he's come here on a track that he loves and he felt very confident about and just nailed it and that's what he's been doing every time he's got in the car this year he's been extracting the maximum of the car and it just so happens the maximum of the car around here was pole position and he was unlucky because this is monza because if was anywhere else probably it was going to be much harder for the rivals overtook him and we know how good is he to resist to the attack and to reach the podium with everyone pushing him from behind.

1:00:22I mean, it's a great fighter on that. It was unlucky because it was in Monza that gave the opportunity to everyone to recover and gain position. Well done to Gasly. Well, well done to Gasly. I feel it's well done to so many drivers this weekend because, guys, this has been a very comprehensive resume of of the race here in Monza. Thank you both so much. I'm going to ask, I think, probably a slightly silly question, given how much we've been eulogizing about the man who won the Grand Prix. But we always do our driver of the day, Davide. Is there any doubt in your mind who today's driver of the day was?

1:01:04No. By far, the best one was Antonelli. And the comparison is to everyone else, but most of it to his teammate. He catch his teammate so easily starting from almost the last row impressed me so much and probably made Russell cry a bit inside.

1:01:29Lawrence Barretto:For me, I agree. There is no one other than Kimi. It wasn't just drive the weekend. It was drive of the year, maybe even drive of this decade. It was that outstanding. I want to give a couple of shout outs to Yuki Tsunoda. I thought he did a great job to get P10 in only his second race back, driving a 2026 car. I want to give a shout out to Ivan Lindblad, who is obviously the rookie of the year because he's the only rookie. But like the performance he's delivering so consistently is impressive. But I think we would all look silly, won't we, if we say anyone other than Kimi Antonelli was the driver of the day.

1:02:03Lawrence Barretto:I think we'll be talking about this on this podcast. I hope if you have me back, Tom, in 10, 15, 20 years' time, because I think this, honestly, was one of the greatest things in racing I've ever seen. I'm going to have to second everything that you have both just said about Kimi Antonelli. It was a joy to watch a memorable race. Max Verstappen was good in P3, but Kimi Antonelli was the man. Guys, thank you both very much for your time. Great to talk it all through. Grazie a te. Thank you so much, Tom. It's a pleasure to be invited here in Monza, Temple of Speed. Thanks, Tom. I've had a blast.

1:02:43Lawrence Barretto:What a race. Now, if you need any more reaction and analysis from Monza, please go to F1.com, the F1 app, or at F1 on social media.
