That is what happens when you are having a Sunday Drive-You miss the Pit Closed Sign.

Lance Stroll could win this. Le Clerc's crash adds further Ferrari ignominy...

Apparently the red light was not showing at the pit entry.

Deserved win from Gasly... Stroll gets his 2nd career 3rd and Seenenough is delighted because Hamilton was fecked by the fickle finger of fate... =))

I fancy the stewards' decision will rumble on for while!

Well that was different!

Without Hamilton's misdemeanour, he would have been so far in the lead that it would have been boring.

What happened to Bottas?

No way they could untangle this one now.

An Italian team winning the Italian GP. Expect more warning lights to be installed out of the driver's line of sight...

Apart from Hamilton's recovery through the pack, I don't believe that the lead and the immediate followers changed, though they were obviously fighting for position.

I wonder what the tifosi would have made of this if they had been track side today? Scuderia AlphaTauri's win would have been a good consolation prize but their win must feel like a knife in the heart at Ferrari.

When he is on it, Bottas is very good but he seems to go off the boil at times. Today that idiom may have been more accurate than I intended because it was rumoured his car was overheating. Hamilton has marginally extended his lead over Verstappen who must be grinding his teeth at not finishing!
