Will Andretti-Cadillac be the 11th team on the Grid?
They just got the go ahead from the FIA.
But the other F1 teams will still have to vote...

We will see what happens. Letting a big Car Company like GM not in is a no go IMO.

In this case i agree with FIA Boss Ben Sulayem. Both the Andretti name and General Motors are huge assets for F1 and the Motorsport in general. From my perspective it is a no brainer to let them in.

Fantastic qualifying party at Monza, where Ferrari found something special as Sainz grabbed pole by 13/1000 from Verstappen, closely followed by LeClerc.

What an exhilarating race at Monza.
While Max wrote history with 10 victories in a row, it was Ferrari who stole the show with an epic battle between team mates Sainz and LeClerc.
Sainz managed to stay ahead of Verstappen at the start of the race, but had to cave eventually. After that Max cruised to his record breaking Victory.

Kudos to Ferrari and McLaren for letting them race. Some very close moments there.

Perez grabbed 2nd.

This race turned into a sprint race from start to finish

The Bull was outclassed by the Horse today.

Only Russel prevented a red first row. But the whole weekend it was Carlos Sainz who set the pace.

Both Red Bull drivers suffered from grip and balance issues. And that does not give the confidence you need on a street track. Even HAAS was faster.

Max will need a miracle to continue his victory strike. Strange how Singapore does not suit the Red Bull team.
