Shock: The fact that it’s taken 13 races for us to get a back-to-back winner in 2017. Lewis Hamilton claimed the Spa-Monza double to take the lead of the championship but the fact it took that long highlights what a good championship we’ve been treated to this season so far. Power dictated the last two races but the pendulum is expected to swing back towards Ferrari’s garage as the F1 circus ventures to Asia and the streets of Singapore… Game on.
Shocker: Max Verstappen’s run of in-race issues continued at Monza. The Dutchman started from the back end of the grid after an engine penalty and looked primed for a charge through the field, but that lasted all of three laps before he tangled with Felipe Massa.
That left him with a damaged front right tyre and another compromised race.Move of the race: Daniel Ricciardo is something else, isn’t he? Early in the race he repeated his brilliant pass on then-Red Bull teammate Sebastian Vettel in 2014 on Sergio Perez’s Force India on the run down to the Roggia chicane, cutting one way and then the other with aplomb to sneak up the inside.
But his best move came during his brilliant charge through the field later. Having taken on the super-soft tyre, Ricciardo suddenly looked like a contender for the podium, and closed up on Kimi Raikkonen.
The move itself wasn’t quite as spectacular as his pass on Perez, but involved the Australian braking so, so late and passing the Ferrari on the inside. Someone get that man into a competitive car.
