The ‘Temple of Speed’ and the ‘Tifosi’ – will this unique love affair and emotion be rewarded with success this weekend at the 2023 Italian Grand Prix?
That’s what the tifosi and their beloved Scuderia Ferrari would be hoping for. But given Ferrari’s form, the tifosi might be better off staying at home!
In this episode of the Inside Line F1 Podcast, Soumil Arora, @f1statsguru and Kunal Shah preview the 2023 Italian Grand Prix. Will Max Verstappen claim the record for 10 successive wins in Formula 1? Or can someone actually halt his race-winning streak? Of course, the ‘curse of Monza’ is yet to be broken. But VER losing due to the Monza curse would be pure cruel!
But which team will be second-fastest at Monza? McLaren and Aston Martin have had a straightline speed deficit. Will their upgrades bring them into play? If Ferrari keep fumbling, is Mercedes the default team to claim P2? Could Williams have an outside chance given their recent recovery?
Lots of narratives and emotions will be at play this weekend in Monza, and maybe some rain, too?
Tune in!
