That was Monza.

It is now race week. The two weeks (and 3 weeks by they time they race again) seems like eternity.
1. Redbull/Mercedes - was last race a omen for Mercedes or lost opportunity for Red Bull. Is Perez better than Vettel? Will Red Bull issues with their car (rear differential, power issue) hamper them? Will Perez be in position this race to give Red Bull some strategy options?
2. Alpha Tauri - how will Gasly handle the pressure from Tsunoda
3. Ferrari - looked much improved, will they make some noise
4. Mclaren looked strong in Bahrain, and Ricardo should have good vibes from Romagna race last year.
5. Aston Martin - Vettel, Vettel. It can't get any worse can it for him?
6. Alpine - Ocon/Alonso are looking to bounce back. Renault is investing a lot of money and would probably like to see return on that investment.
7. Williams/Alfa Romeo - Not much to watch, except to see how much George Russell can pull out of his Williams car.
8. Haas - how many spins will they have this week?
My predicted race finish
1. Hamilton
2. Verstappen
3. Perez
4. Bottas
5. Ricardo
6. LeClerc
7. Norris
8. Sainz
9. Yuki
10. Vettel
11. Gasly
12. Alonso
13. Stroll
14. Raikkonen
15. Ocon
16. Giovanazzi
17. Russell
18. Latifi
19. Schumacher
20. Maz-a-spin

It's still early days, but they are predicting rain for Sunday. One can only hope!
May the forza be with you

When was the last time we had a wet race in Imola? I actually cannot remember ever having a wet San Marino GP.

That is because the last wet race was in 1995. Really all the rain was over before the start. Not a propper wet race, rather drying conditions

Mercedes flexed their muscles in FP1 and FP2
FP1
1. Bottas (1:16:564)
2. Hamilton (1:16:605)
3. Verstappen (1:16:622)
FP2
1. Bottas (1:15:522)
2. Hamilton (1:15:561)
3. Gasly (1:15:629)
Red Bull struggled with Max car breaking down in FP2 and Perez crashing out in FP1.
Winners
1. Mercedes - did you really think they wouldn't have an answer
2. Alpha Tauri - Gasly at 3 and Yuki at 7
3. Ferrari
Losers
1. Red Bull - they are seeming to have reliability issue each week, Perez is underwhelming.
2. Vettel - rumors they may have short lease with him
3. McClaren - were very Ho-Hum

Mercedes dug deeper and found gains after being “stung” by Red Bull – Allison
