Leclerc is in eleventh place after his fifth place in qualifying - behind Sebastian Vettel!
Lap 35/59:
Alexander Albion was the
last
of all the remaining drivers to make the pit stop, the Thai is currently in fifth place.
Can he still overtake Stroll and Ricciardo?
Lap 33/59:
Lando Norris with a great overtaking maneuver against Charles Leclerc, whom he
relegates
to eighth place.
Round 31/59:
Valtteri Bottas are six seconds, the Finn is now in the pits.

Round 29/59:
Leclerc is fighting for every place, currently the 22-year-old has come to ninth place, Vettel is still on 11th.
Formula 1: Hamilton established his role - Leclerc and Vettel in the debt
Lap 28/59:
After about halfway
through
the race things seem to be clear again, but a radio message from Hamilton causes concern.
"This tire doesn't feel great.
Rear sliding ”(“ This tire doesn't feel good. They slide behind ”), says the Briton.
Round 26/59:
After his pit stop, Monegasse Leclerc is still in 13th and last place, Vettel is currently on ten.
Still.
The current top five: Hamilton - Bottas - Stroll - Ricciardo - Albon.
Lap 22/59:
Ferrari driver Leclerc falls back to seventh place and goes into the pits.
Round 20/59:
Lance Stroll starts a real attack, overtakes Leclerc and Ricciardo and is currently in third place.
Round 18/59:
In the past few rounds, Vettel lounged past his buddy Kimi Räikkönen and is now in eleventh place, is there even more for the German?
Now the Briton George Russell sees him in the rearview mirror.
Round 14/59:
Sebastian Vettel is still crawling around in the back seats, currently only Grosjean is behind the German.
Lance Stroll is meanwhile Vettel's team-mate Leclerc on the heels.
Round 12/59:
Hamilton has now established himself on Leader, Bottas is still close behind him.
Charles Leclerc seems up to something and is still in third place.
Lap 9/59:
Bottas does not start as well as at the first start, team-mate Hamilton immediately shows a strong overtaking maneuver and pulls past the Finn.
Lap 9/59:
And after the longer break, the race is continued on the ninth lap, the drivers are ready for the second start.
But one thing is missing: Renault driver Esteban Ocon gives up prematurely because he noticed that his brakes were overheating, and there were only 13 left!
Lap 8/59:
The race will continue in a few moments.
Vettel is currently in 13th place out of the remaining 14th. Perhaps after the initial shock at the Grand Prix of Tuscany, something could still happen for the 33-year-old.
Lap 8/59:
It is now known when the race will continue.
At 3:55 p.m. the tour continues in Mugello.
Formula 1: huge crash at the beginning of the race, six drivers already eliminated - "Are they going to kill us?"
Round 8/59: It is
still unclear when the race can be continued.
All drivers seem to be fine.
The replays of the scenes show that
Sainz and Giovanazzi
were traveling too fast.
Both probably thought that the field had already picked up speed, but that was a misunderstanding.
Round 8/59:
Red flag: “They want to kill us or what?
This is the worst thing ever ”(
“ Do they want to kill us? That's the worst! ”),
Grosjean
complains
after the mass crash into his microphone, but the Frenchman ultimately got nothing from the accident.
The race is currently stopped and the drivers are returning to the pit lane.
If the race continues, there will only be 14 drivers left.
Round 7/59:
And again there is a huge crash!
The safety car is on its way again.
This time it seems
Magnussen, Latifi, Sainz and Giovanazzi have
collided.
All four pilots are
now eliminated
.
The trigger was
Valtteri Bottas
, who drove in a serpentine line behind the safety car.
The field behind him then automatically slowed down, but the drivers behind were still traveling at full speed, which is why there was a
rear-end collision
between several racing cars.
The incident brings out a RED FLAG 🚩
Four drivers were involved in this crash - Giovinazzi, Latifi, Magnussen and Sainz - all are out of their cars and seemingly ok 👍 # TuscanGP 🇮🇹 # F1 pic.twitter.com/vE0FuXm0A9

Round 5/59:
The safety car is still on the racetrack, where a Grand Prix is taking place for the first time today.
However, it should go on as normal immediately.
Lap 3/59:
Ferrari driver Leclerc is currently at the front and is in third place, will he be able to keep up his pace and keep the honor of his Italian racing team in Mugello?
Round 1/59:
The traffic light goes green, Bottas immediately starts with a strong start.
Hamilton was a little too slow, not his best start.
Max Verstappen
drives into the gravel bed after a few seconds and is out!
Monza winner
Pierre Gasly
is also outside, the safety car is now in action.
Update from September 13th, 3:10 p.m.:
It will start shortly in Mugello, Red Bull driver Max Verstappen still had problems with the engine until shortly before the race, but the racing team gave the all-clear.
However, the Dutchman will take part in the formation lap.
Update from September 13, 2:55 p.m.:
The
Tuscan Grand Prix
starts in a quarter of an hour
and the fans are back.
A maximum of
3000 spectators
were allowed, but the race is probably not sold out due to the high ticket prices.
In Mugello, too, neutral viewers are hoping for an exciting race today, possibly with a surprising outcome like last weekend in Monza.
Will it get better at Vettel now?
There is “
no panacea
”, said the 33-year-old before the Grand Prix when asked about his long-term sporting crisis.
Although he is hoping for points, Vettel from 14th place is still a long way from taking anything countable out of the race.

Formula 1: Vettel with poor qualifying - "I'm having a hard time with the car"
Update from September 13th, 9:53 am:
Sebastian
Vettel's
weekend is not going very well so far.
In the next year at Aston Martin, the German wants to fully attack again.
Will a
design genius from Red Bull
help him
?
There are rumors *
the details of Vettel's team of the future.
Update of 12 September, 16:05:
The
qualifying
in
Mugello
is through!
Lewis Hamilton
grabs
pole
in front of
Valtteri Bottas
.
Max Verstappen
, who “really enjoyed” the new track,
starts behind the two Mercedes
.
For
Ferrari
and
Sebastian Vettel
, everything stays the same - the German didn't make it into Q3 with his car.
He barely survived the first lap - in the end he
was 14th
.
Once again his team-mate
Charles Leclerc was
faster.
The Monegasse put in a strong qualifying, starting from
fifth place
in the race
.
Vettel struck familiar notes after qualifying.
“I
'm having a hard time with the car
, but we keep biting into it.
Today there were again things that we can do better. ”The Heppenheimer doesn't expect any big surprises in the race.
“Let's see how difficult it will be to overtake.” It is quite tight in the meandering curves of Mugello, which should make it relatively difficult to catch up.
Career pole No.
95 for @LewisHamilton 💪 # TuscanGP 🇮🇹 # F1 pic.twitter.com/OSODDgMass

Formula 1: Max Verstappen taunts Sebastian Vettel and Aston Martin
Update from September 11th:
Sebastian Vettel
is on
everyone's lips
after the announcement of his involvement with
Aston Martin
for the coming season.
The rest of the field of drivers has also
heard
the change from Vettel and the associated disembarkation of
Sergio Perez
.
Will Vettel now become the
bogeyman
of Formula 1?
The former crash kid
Max Verstappen
, who often messed with Vettel on the route, is
skeptical of
the
Vettel deal
.
“I don't think Perez would be much slower,” says the Red Bull driver.
Even with Vettel, the Dutchman doesn't see the new Aston Martin racing team as serious competition: “Perez certainly didn't do a bad job.
In the end it will depend on how good the car is, ”said the 22-year-old.
For Vettel Aston Martin was "the only option," said Verstappen:
"It went well for him."
Vettel successor Sainz is disappointed: "It makes me a little angry"
Sergio Perez, who suddenly finds himself without a cockpit, receives a lot of encouragement from his colleagues.
Renault driver
Daniel Ricciardo
, Vettel's team-mate at
Red Bull for
several years
, believes in a future for the Mexican in Formula 1: “Of course there are fewer cockpits now, but I hope he'll find one more.
At 30 he is still young.
He deserves a place in Formula 1. "
Vettel's successor at
Ferrari
,
Carlos Sainz,
raged: “Perez saved the team from bankruptcy.
Now they finally manage to build a good car for him and now they don't want to continue.
That makes me a little angry because I have a good relationship with him and I respect him as a driver. ”The Spaniard no longer understands the Formula 1 world and questions the whole F1 circus.
“It shows once again that Formula 1 is not always about performance.
Because if it was a matter of performance, there would be no reason why Racing Point shouldn't want him anymore, ”criticized Sainz.
First report from September 10th:
Mugello - It should be a festive weekend.
The proud
Scuderia Ferrari
racing team is
celebrating
its
1000th
Formula 1
Grand Prix
in the
ninth race of this season on its home track, the
Autodromo Internazionale del Mugello
.
But everything turns out very differently than planned.
Formula 1 in the live ticker: Next disaster for Ferrari at the anniversary Grand Prix?
In the first home race a week ago, the Italian Grand Prix, Ferrari experienced a disaster.
Both cars were eliminated early on.
"I think in this regard it is probably a good thing that there are no fans," said
Sebastian Vettel
cynically.
It was his last Monza race as a driver for the Italian racing team, and it was a painful farewell.
Michael Schumacher *
, who crowned his departure in 2006 with a Grand Prix win in Monza
, did it completely differently
.
On the occasion of the anniversary,
his son
Mick Schumacher *
will drive his father's F2004 and climb into the "Red Goddess". *
At the anniversary Grand Prix in Mugello, north of Florence, the Italians face the next disaster. * “You can see where we are.
It's not that we can expect a lot, "Vettel dampened expectations.
“Maybe things are looking a little better in Mugello.
But that doesn't mean that we will race for the podium there.
You have to be realistic.
The expectations are very low. "
Happy to know you'll be around next year!
Let's finish this doing our best together 💪❤️ # Seb5 # essereFerrari🔴 pic.twitter.com/caAB3wvF9T

Formula 1 in the live ticker: Sebastian Vettel steals the show from Ferrari
The Heppenheimer wants to compete for the podium again next year, but then with his new team
Aston Martin
. * The 33-year-old is emulating his idol *.
Vettel's change dominates the
gazettes
and
Ferrari is in the shadow of
the four-time world champion, which should not be to the taste of the traditional racing team.
The Scuderia would like to celebrate its 1000th Grand Prix in style.
After all, the Vettel change distracts from his own poor performance last.
Ferrari will start in Mugello with a
retro design of
the car on the
occasion of the anniversary
.
The
safety car is also to be painted completely red
.
It is doubtful whether these nostalgic inserts will help to drive forward again.
But there is a small glimmer of hope.
The Ferrari drivers probably know their home track better than the rest of the field.
“It's a different route.
That is probably the only hope, "said Vettel.

Formula 1 in the live ticker: Spectators at Ferrari home game in Mugello
At the last race in Monza there was a surprise victory.
If everything goes normally,
Mercedes
around
Lewis Hamilton should
be back on top.
The reigning world champion won five of the previous eight races.
Mugello is a spectacular course with fast, flowing corners, similar to Suzuka in Japan.
In addition, the more than a kilometer long start and finish straight is one of the longest in Formula 1. A route for all-round cars, and therefore a route for Mercedes.
For the first time this year, paying
spectators
will watch
a Formula 1 race.
The organizers have received the approval for a total of
3000 fans
in the stands, the premier class wants to slowly pave the way into a kind of normality: In the coming weeks even significantly larger quantities are to be allowed in Sochi and Istanbul.
