Gp Mugello, report cards: Hamilton 10, the king is back. Ferrari, 10 and super praise for the story, 0 for the race. Leclerc 7

The crash race, safety cars, two red flags and two restarts. In its debut in the F1 World Championship, the Mugello circuit is experiencing a too turbulent day, with a race in three acts that almost divides the cast on the track in half and makes judgments very difficult. We will have to reflect on the storm surge of accidents and on the possible adjustments of the Tuscan track in the perspective that is confirmed in the calendar. The track, however, passes the test from a safety point of view: escape routes, vote 10, are large and hold the neck bone of at least a couple of pilots. In the background was the fascination of Ferrari’s thousandth GP, but here Mercedes won again: the bitter verdict, thinking that Schumacher’s dominant reds were developing on this asphalt. But also the fruit of the times. And the old red chosen by Cavallino for the decoration of his cars is fading as a result of a season that will close as soon as possible.

Ferrari history, 10 and superlode To start from the history of Ferrari, because stories are never forgotten and if something is told. The thousand GP celebrate a team that, in addition to being the architrave of F1 (present from the beginning), represents for Italy a national-popular phenomenon similar to the one that stars in the Italian football blues. Today’s fans, inspired by heartbreaking results, look back: it will help them hope for a better tomorrow.

Lewis Hamilton 10 Sometimes you can make a mistake, like in Monza, but it is difficult to repeat it in the negative. At Mugello, he had to invent a new magic: resisting restarts after the first restart, this one behind the safety car, had eaten Bottas. Mission accomplished: the king returned owner of the kingdom. 90th victory, Schumi’s record will be equaled for next first place. At that point, a special horizon will open up for Lewis: that of those who, in terms of success, no longer have anyone above.

Alexander Albon 9 First podium in his career for the Thai boy (but with a British passport) who caught a number of pranksters at the Tuscany GP: first he saved Red Bull, who immediately lost Max Verstappen after zero at Monza (by the way : Max was involved in the first accident, but the power drop at the beginning explains that the team – vote 5 – has some problems); then in the third act, regrouping and passing Ricciardo, he avoided repeating competitions without infamy and without praise; He finally did himself a favor, as Helmut Marko, following Gasly’s win at Monza, actually gave him a car for 2021, threatening the Frenchman’s return.

Daniel Ricciardo 8.5 Intense, stubborn, tenacious as in the old days. He always believed in the podium – that Renault had been missing since 2011 – and the blow seemed practically done after the last restart, in which Daniel the kangaroo jumped on the clumsy Bottas. Unfortunately for him there was Albon, who must have remembered that the Red Bull motto gives you wings, gives you wings.

Walk Lance 8 Stimulated -who knows- by the news that in 2021 he will have Sebastian Vettel by his side, the son of the owner (of Racing Point) plays a quality GP, ruined by the puncture (perhaps caused by a missing part by the car of his current partner, Sergio Pérez) who causes him a very dangerous accident at 280 hours. His victory by getting out of the car with his legs.

Ineos 8 The petrochemical giant, a sponsor of Mercedes, has the credit of keeping the level of gossip high off the track, which tends to disappear once the new Concorde Accord has been defined and the Racing Point case resolved. Since the summer, suspicion launched by the Motorsport site, it is said that it could acquire shares of the dominant team: but how many and especially which ones, given that Daimler could sell the team entirely? What if instead they were those of Toto Wolff, who in the meantime has also put his claws into the future Aston Martin, which is the new name of Racing Point and the team that Sebastian Vettel will go to? We are also waiting with confidence because, in this round of waltz, there is also the new contract of Lewis Hamilton.

George Russell 7.5 With an unpresentable Williams, you risk scoring points. Give him a real car and maybe the kid will lift the world.

Kimi Raikkonen 7 As in Monza the old lion fights and in the end, despite a penalty for indecision in the return to the pits, he wins two points, sliding between Leclerc and Vettel. It may have been facilitated by fate, but the track said it was ahead of Ferrari fans whether they like it or not.

Charles Leclerc 7 He never gives up, and is even tender, to the stark reality that this Ferrari does not indulge his talent. He tries it in any duel, having always been brilliant in starts to the point of also entering third place. In vain efforts: the deep and serious disease of the Reds.

Sebastian Vettel 5 We don’t want to think you already have your head at Racing Point, but Tuscany doesn’t shake on a performance curve that stays flat. Doubt: was it he who gave Otmar Szafnauer (see below) some idea?

Otmar Szafnauer 5 The Racing Point team manager, after winning the award for the most colossal lie (Hiring Vettel is not an option), announces Sebastian’s arrival at the Ferrari 1000 GP party: a true gentleman.

Pierre Gasly 4.5 From Monza’s masterpiece to Mugello’s bullshit: Trying to slip a Grosjean job between two cars and it shouldn’t belong in the repertoire of a growing talent. Sic transit gloria mundi.

Nicholas Latifi 4 On the restart behind the first safety car, he makes a mistake of inexperience that triggers a crazy accident, dangerously involving Magnussen and Giovinazzi (vote 4 for them too, In any case).

Valtteri Bottas 2 He cannot do it, stronger than him: when he has the opportunity to strike, he fails punctually. Only the Mercedes engine saved him after overtaking Ricciardo. At Mugello he also expelled Hamilton by invoking a third safety car: fate satisfied him, but he kicked him.

Safety car 1 It will be good to review exit methods, restart criteria and emergency management. Whoever decides to enter the track is not exempt from responsibility in the very serious accident on the first restart.

Ferrari 0 accused of not bringing news, unlike the rest of the teams. Perhaps it is fair to think of 2021, but we cannot continue to sound indecent evidence like the one starring in the ups and downs of Mugello, with the aggravation that this track is owned by the Scuderia. The Leclerc fires were soon put out with one of the worst days in a history of a thousand races that could have been held in a very different way.
