It was mentioned that of all drivers only Max could reach >12K rpm on the end of straight, not sure how correct this info is.

Imagine how big the gap will be when they finally allow Max to remove the 15 bricks that have been keeping him company in his cockpit!

Italian GP FP3
Russell or Alonso could take pole.
Leclerc for me, qualifying s normally good for him, not that much they can feck up.
Does it even matter? He started something like 14th or 15th last time and still pissed home.
Leclerc, Russell and Alonso to be top 3, not necessarily in that order.
Not sure Russell will be there, both Merc's looked short of speed.
Hopefully before Q1 a few tweak's will sort them out.

In Spa they put one wrong tire, so there's that.
I did say normally.
That De Vries lad is not half bad innit...for a total of an hour in this car.
easy to look good when you’re in the fastest car.
Fastest car to retire I agree mate.
Russell doing OK , Lewis again is struggling to get close.
Out in Q1
16) Nicholas Latifi, Williams
17) Sebastian Vettel, Aston Martin
18) Lance Stroll, Aston Martin
19) Kevin Magnussen, Haas
20) Mick Schumacher, Haas

Vettel always super surprised he is out of Q1
They look like a bunch of wankers.
Q2 for De Vries, good job.
aston martin honouring the queen by driving at hearse pace.
De Vries comes in for an hour and already qualifying ahead of Latifi.
Vettel always acting surprised at missing out on Q2 even though it happens every week.
yeah but that’s only because he has a pulse.
Out in Q2: Ocon, Bottas, De Vries, Zhou, Tsunoda
So how are penalties applied? In which order?
for example if Max is p1, and two guys with penalties are say p4 and p5, does he effectively end up third? Or does he still start 6th with others continuing to be bumped

Why is Sainz behind Leclerc 
this looks like a dead cert Pole for Leclerc.
Was K Mag out of Q3 before his laptime was deleted? They spent all of last season developing the 2022 car and since its launch it's just got slower and slower. They have not brought many upgrades either.
Why is Ferrari so quick all of a sudden on a track like this?
So unexpected.
So unexpected.
So Ferrari have pole position at Monza, with all their direct rivals taking grid penalties. Leclerc seems poised to win this. What could possibly go wrong, right?
So thats pole for Leclerc on his own merit.
I got the feeling that Max was not trying that hard.

I need a maths degree to work out the grid for tomorrow now.
Max I still think is favourite.
Ok so how do we think Ferrari will feck it up tomorrow?
They reduced the wing sizes to eliminate drag but that makes the car slightly more unstable in corners. RB didn't feel the need to do so, I guess they made the calc correct.
Its more of a race setup for Max due to the penalties, prioritizing low tire deg here with a bit of more downforce.
