Ferrari hopes for home win: Charles Leclerc starts from pole position

Preliminary report:

Monza - Formula 1 says goodbye to Europe with the race in Monza.

At the Italian Grand Prix on Sunday at 3 p.m. things could get busy again, the Tifosi are hoping for Ferrari driver Charles Leclerc to win.

The Frenchman, who, like Red Bull's Sergio Perez, is 109 points behind world champion Max Verstappen, will start from pole position.

World Championship leader Verstappen came second in qualifying, but started with a five-place penalty.

In the middle, after an actually bad qualification, but a series of deferrals, Sebastian Vettel is also at the place of his first big Formula 1 success.

And even Mick Schumacher doesn't have to start from the last place he still occupied in the knockout stage after a number of setbacks through no fault of his own.

Schumi junior is fighting for his future in Formula 1 in Haas.

Because Carlos Sainz (3rd in the Ferrari), Sergio Perez (4th in the Red Bull) and Lewis Hamilton (5th in the Mercedes) also had new parts in their cars that exceeded the permitted quota, they also had to move back - albeit differently far.

The big beneficiary of this is George Russell, who ended the knockout phase in sixth place and moved up to second on the grid.

And even Mick Schumacher, last in the lame Haas on an already troubled weekend, and Sebastian Vettel, 17th in the Aston Martin, will climb places on the so-called grid this Sunday.

Vettel will start the race from eleventh place, Mick Schumacher from 17th.

Vettel didn't want to believe it.

"I'm afraid we're out, Sebastian," he was radioed into the car.

"It can't be," said Vettel.

17th place in the Aston Martin on the circuit where he celebrated his first pole 14 years ago and then his first Grand Prix victory, at the wheel of a Toro Rosso.

Mick Schumacher suffered the next setback through no fault of his own.

On Friday he had to give his car to the former Formula 1 driver Antonio Giovinazzi in the first practice session, and then an engine defect stopped the German in the second practice session.

In the session before qualifying, there were problems with the clutch, Mick Schumacher was only able to complete 17 practice laps in total and was last in qualifying behind teammate Kevin Magnussen.

"You don't have any reference points at all," explained Schumacher.

He is not "too happy".

Because some better-placed drivers get even higher grid penalties, he will even move up a bit.

Because it was clear, among other things, that Sainz and Hamilton had to start behind Schumacher because of their penalties, as did Yuki Tsunoda, who was eliminated early.

Formula 1 in Monza in the live ticker: Mick Schumacher fights for the F1 cockpit

Mick Schumacher has not yet secured his F1 cockpit for next season.

“We are considering what is best for the development of the team.

Do we only look at the technology or also the driving element?

To be honest, we don't know whether Mick will stay or not," said Haas team boss Günther Steiner in the

interview.

Schumacher “delivered very good races in Canada, England and Austria.

But he lacks the consistency, he has to put in a strong performance more often,” said Steiner: “We're not in a hurry when it comes to the driver question, and Mick still has chances to show what he can do.” Preferably today in Monza.
