Now, for Monza, if Kimi can get some luck and there's a Ferrari 1-2, the crowd will be impressed, to say the least.
Agree fully. I acknowledge and appreciate their excellence over the last few years but it's about time they have to genuinely compete and possibly lose.
I'll take it a step further, if Kimi can get some luck and lead a Ferrari 1-2, the crowd will go insane.
