What made this race what it was: - Lewis got 10 seconds stationary, not 5. - The drive-through at Monza is longer than most pit lanes (by 4 or 5 seconds). - The penalty happened on lap 27 of a 53 lap race, which negated all gains from the first half, bunched up the pack, and made the second half essentially a sprint. - Bottas and Verstappen had obvious issues which drove them out of contention on the day. Ferrari was running a different series from F1 (in a bad way) already. - The midfield (McLaren, Alpha Tauri and Renault) are all strong at the moment. - Monza has demands not typical of an F1 track. - Monza actually has good passing opportunities in several areas. - The two safety cars meant that some teams had used up their tire choices. Alfa would never have put Kimi out on reds for 26 laps otherwise. That cost the team at least a point. Given that most of the cars get lapped by the podium-sitters during a race, and the mid field is still in the middle regardless of who is in the front, I don't see what reverse grid would do to liven up the spectacle. It would likely be a dis-incentive for the top and bottom teams to develop their cars. If Haas were to podium because of a trick at the start, would that improve the sport in anyone's eyes?
