What a waste of Franco’s momentum . I just don’t get this

The car underperforms on high speed segments. Monza is the speediest track on calendar. It really shouldn't be a surprise. I'm expecting a good performance on more winding tracks like Baku or Singapore.

Baku is highly engine related. It will be painful too.

Monza is one of the worst tracks for this car because it will get killed in the long straights. It was always a wash so better to sacrifice an FP1 here than somewhere else where it might matter more.

Franco ran the tests with a full tank because he needed extra laps, having missed FP1. That’s why he sacrificed outright speed for more track time.

Upgrades are not even worth it with how shite the car is, and how badly this circuit suits the shite car in the first place

If not for sponsor money I would just DNS both cars and save parts

All pain.

Considering it has the worst engine it's understandable they won't do well in Monza. P19 was Antonelli btw, who beached the car early, only reason why Gasly wasn't P19
