Timestamps: 00:00 - Intro & Settings 01:17 - Qualifying 07:43 - Race 36:53 - Results Quite the weekend. I got blocked on my first qualifying run, so it was all on the line on my second and final lap. Everyone was out on a flying lap at the end like it usually is at Monza, so I got a good slipstream for my whole lap, and somehow managed to put it on pole! The race was good. I got a great start, and I pulled away from the pack, all alone in the lead... and then there was the red flag. Albon and Gasly crashed out (replay @39:02) at turn 1 and we went back to the grid. The second start on the hard tire was horrible, and Leclerc got past me easily. I tried to push and catch back up to him, but I made some small mistakes and lost time, giving the McLaren pair a chance to get past me, so I spent the rest of the race racing the McLaren cars for the podium positions. I lost the win, but still, P2 is an amazing result at this stage with this team, so I'll definitely take it. * The game is showing some issues, I don't know what happened at the race intro - the game decided to alt+tab out of the game. Also the race replay just ended at lap 17, when usually it shows the player crossing the finish line. It isn't a big issue as I usually edit in the replays that the game highlights don't show. It's nothing new that the Codemasters F1 games are a mess, but it's still super annoying.
