Well, with both Mercedes in mid-pack (Bottas had a really bad start and couldn’t get past any of the guys in front of him), both Red Bulls there as well and both Ferraris out (Vettel had brake failure), we could get a podium that is entirely from outside those three teams for the first time in like a thousand years.

Looks like this will be Sainz’s race to lose, he’s the fast man at the front catching the leader Gasly.

Five laps to go and there’s just over a second in it!

And for the first time in 24 years, a Frenchman wins in F1! Pierre Gasly in the Alpha Tauri wins it in Italy and becomes the sport’s 109th race winner!
Sainz (McLaren) and Stroll (Racing Point) are the other podium finishers in the first non-Mercedes/Ferrari/Red Bull podium since 2012, with Hamilton getting his car back up to 7th.

If you can track down a version of that race to watch, do it.
It's the most entertaining an F1 race has been in years

I hope the races look like this more often with the new regulations. Wish it hadn’t gotten pushed back to 2022

Sebastian Vettel will be driving for Aston Martin (what Racing Point will become from next year) next season, replacing Sergio Perez.

First lap safety car. Multi car contact, some are out, some others are limping to the pits.

Red Flagged.
You don't get a red flag for ages and then you get two in a row.

It’s always funny watching 20 of the best drivers in the world spontaneously metaphorically shit themselves... as long as nobody gets hurt, of course.
So, to take stock of the situation... Two separate crashes have taken out Verstappen, Gasly, Sainz, Magnussen, Giovinazzi and Latifi, plus Ocon is out with unrelated brake issues.

Ok, they're heading round to the grid, let's see if we can get some actual racing done this time.

Big off for Stroll brings out another Safety Car.
In fact, it’s another red flag. Don’t know if this means another standing start, a rolling start or we just wrap it up now having completed 75% distance.

Red flagged again, presumably to repair the tyre barrier.
