Sprint qualifying

[edit]

Sprint qualifying took place at 16:30CESTon 11 September.[10]Valtteri Bottaskept first from the start and led all laps of the race.Lewis Hamiltonlost four places at the second corner. He managed to make up one place, due toPierre Gaslycrashing out at Curva Grande. Gasly's crash was caused by contact withDaniel Ricciardo.The damage meant Gasly's front wing came off and subsequently went under his car, bouncing him through the gravel and into the wall.[24]The stewards deemed it a racing incident and didn't apportion blame for the contact. The safety car was deployed due to this crash.Yuki TsunodaandRobert Kubicaalso made contact on lap 1, resulting in Tsunoda losing his front wing and Kubica spinning into the gravel. Both drivers were able to carry on.[25]

After lap 1, the positions of the top 8 drivers did not change. The session ended with Valtteri Bottas,Max Verstappen,and Daniel Ricciardo finishing on the top three positions respectively. However, while Bottas finished first in sprint qualifying, Verstappen took pole position for the race, due to Bottas having a penalty for exceeding his quota of engine components, which demoted him to 19th.[26][27]Ricciardo and hisMcLarenteammate,Lando Norris,was promoted to second and third for the grid respectively.[28][29]

In the aftermath of the sprint qualifying,Sergio Pérezcriticised the format, saying the sprint at Monza was "very boring" and did not add anything.[30]Formula One managing directorRoss Brawndefended it, saying there was "plenty of action".[31]Fernando Alonsoadvocated for single lap qualifying (the qualifying system in Formula One previously used from the start of the2003season to end of the2005season) as a method of setting the grid for sprint qualifying.[32]

Race

[edit]

The race started at 15:00CESTon 12 September.[17]Daniel RicciardoovertookMax Verstappenat the start to take the lead of the race whileLewis HamiltonpassedLando Norrisat the start to take third position. Hamilton attempted an overtake on Verstappen into turn 4, but was pushed wide, causing him to lose positions to Verstappen and Norris.[35]Further down the grid,Antonio Giovinazziwent off the track at turn 5 and rejoined the track into the path ofCarlos Sainz Jr.,with the two making contact. Giovinazzi was spun around and clipped the barrier, losing his front wing.[36]Giovinazzi was given a 5-second time penalty for rejoining the track in an unsafe manner.[37] Ricciardo held Verstappen behind for 21 laps, until hepittedfor hard tyres on lap 22. Verstappen entered the pits on the next lap, but was held for 11.1 seconds due to an issue with the right front tyre. While Verstappen was in the pits, Hamilton overtook Norris, prompting Norris to pit. Norris came out of the pits ahead of Verstappen, and Hamilton pitted for medium tyres on the following lap. Hamilton's stop was also slow, being stationary for 4.2 seconds. Due to this, Norris was able to overtake him, and Hamilton ended up side-by-side with Verstappen on the pit exit and into turn 1. Verstappen was squeezed into turn 2, bouncing over a sausage kerb and making contact with Hamilton's left rear tyre, launching Verstappen's car into the air and over the top of Hamilton's car. Both drivers were uninjured, but were forced to retire from the race.[38]This was Hamilton's first retirement in 63 races, the previous being the2018 Austrian Grand Prix.[39]

The crash brought out thesafety car.Charles LeclercandGeorge Russelltook advantage by pitting during the safety car period, resulting in Leclerc and Russell exiting the pits in second and ninth, respectively. On the safety car restart, Norris overtook Leclerc to move up into second place. A few laps later,Sergio Pérezattempted an overtake on Leclerc into turn 4, but went off the track; Pérez took third place from Leclerc, but was given a 5-second time penalty for leaving the track and gaining an advantage.[40]On lap 34,Valtteri Bottasovertook Leclerc to take fourth place. Pérez held off Bottas until the end of the race, but dropped to fifth after the race due to his penalty.

Ricciardo finished first, winning his first race since the2018 Monaco Grand Prix,[41]and taking the first win forMcLarensinceJenson Buttondid so for the team at the2012 Brazilian Grand Prix.Norris finished second, making it a one-two finish for McLaren; their first since the2010 Canadian Grand Prixwhen Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button were driving for the team.[42]Bottas rounded out the podium places, finishing the race in third.[43][44]Damage to his Aston Martin's front wing meant thatSebastian Vettelcould not finish higher than twelfth. Kubica's fourteenth-place finish allowed him to move ahead ofNikita Mazepininto twentieth place in the Drivers' Championship standings.[45]

Post-race

[edit]

After the race, Verstappen and Hamilton were summoned to the stewards regarding their crash. The stewards ruled that Verstappen was predominantly at fault and awarded him a three-place grid penalty for thefollowing race in Sochi,as well as two penalty points on his Super Licence.[46]Hamilton said he was proud of the stewards for being willing to give Verstappen a penalty for the incident.[47]Three-time Formula One World ChampionSir Jackie Stewartcriticised Verstappen's behaviour following the incident with Hamilton, saying he was "taking longer than expected to mature".[48]The FIA will also carry out a safety investigation into the Hamilton-Verstappen crash after considering it an 'unusual incident'.[49]Meanwhile, race winner Ricciardo stated that that was the first time he had ever been overwhelmed by winning, especially considering he had been consistently outperformed by teammateLando Norrisin the first half of the season.[50]Norris himself felt he could have challenged Ricciardo, but decided it would be in the best interests of the McLaren team not to, fearing challenging his teammate could have resulted in a Hamilton-Verstappen-style crash between the pair.[51]
