The 2022 Italian Grand Prix (officially the Formula 1 Pirelli Gran Premio d'Italia 2022) was the 16th race of the 2022 FIA Formula One World Championship, held at Autodromo Nazionale Monza on the weekend of September 9 to September 11 2022.


Background[]


Antonio Giovinazzi and Nyck de Vries drove in the first practice session in place of Mick Schumacher and Sebastian Vettel, respectively. Alex Albon did not participate due to being diagnosed with appendicitis; former Formula 2 and Formula E world champion, Nyck de Vries, filled in for Albon.[1]

Track changes[]

The second DRS detection point was moved 40 metres (130 ft) farther round the track, to 20 metres (66 ft) after turn 11.[2]

Fan harassment and event mismanagement[]

During the weekend there were numerous allegations of management issues and fan harassment. One Twitter user has reported a local fan demanded that fans remove items declaring their support of Max Verstappen. Another video showed several fans making a sexist tone against Sophie Kumpen, Verstappen's mother. Race organisers were critised for a lack of security in the grandstands.[3][4]

Several fans also complained about the mismanagement of the event. The circuit organisers demanded food and drink to be paid in token coin instead of cash or credit card. Fans had to wait for more than two hours for food to be prepared following a website crash.[5]

Race[]

Report[]

The race took place on 11 September 2022 at 15:00 local time, lasting 53 laps. Charles Leclerc led away from pole, George Russell and Lando Norris behind. Max Verstappen came to third position on lap 4 and second on lap 5. Sergio Pérez came to the pit earlier on lap 10 for hard tyres and rejoined the track with an ongoing brake fire, which later extinguished itself. On lap 10, Sebastian Vettel stopped his car due to engine issues resulting a deployment of a virtual safety car (VSC). This prompted Leclerc to change his tyres, as less time is lost when pitting under VSC conditions, surrending the lead to Verstappen. On lap 26, Leclerc retook the lead after Verstappen changed his tyres, Verstappen rejoined the track ten seconds behind Leclerc. Alpine decided to retire Fernando Alonso car on lap 31 in the pitlane due to a water pressure issue. Leclerc made a second pitstop on lap 34, giving Verstappen the lead. Lance Stroll retired on lap 39 due to similar engine issue suffered by his teammate Sebastian Vettel on lap 10. Daniel Ricciardo stopped his car due to the oil leak suffered from his car resulting the safety car being deployed until the end of the race. The race was ended on lap 53 with Verstappen winning the race behind safety car.

Safety car controversy[]

The safety car procedure following Ricciardo's retirement drew scrutiny, with discussions surronding the decisions taken, after it turned out that marshalls could not move the car expeditiously. The incident caused the race to be ended under the safety car.[25] Charles Leclerc and Lando Norris expressed their frustration over the safety car race ending.[26] Ferrari team principal Mattia Binotto and Red Bull team principal Christian Horner gave their opinion: Binotto stated he disagreed with the FIA's decision to end the race under safety car and accused them of sleeping during the race, while Horner stated that it was not the manner he wanted to finish the race and thought that the race should have been red flagged.[27][28][29] Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff defended the FIA's decision, stating that the FIA followed the rules while also citing the safety car procedure at the 2021 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.[30] The FIA later defended their decision to end the race with safety car citing the inability to move Ricciardo's car from the circuit on time.[31] FIA has also invited the team principals for a summit to discuss the regulation changes regarding the yellow flag and safety car on 12 September.[32]
