The F1 Losers League would like to congratulate the safety car for winning the 2022 Italian grand prix in Monza. Its strategy was genius: pop out towards the end of the race, and make everyone stay behind until the finish line. Ferrari could learn a thing or two.
At the other end of the field, the Track Points in Monza were loaded towards Sebastian Vettel and Aston Martin. A double retirement for the green team. Seb was left to rue a wasted weekend at the very circuit at which he claimed his first ever F1 win. He called the Aston Martin car the "slowest of all".
Which is wrong. Because the safety car is an Aston Martin too. And that was the fastest car of all because it won the race. Silly Sebastian.
Read on for all the Track Points in Monza.

WHAT'S NEXT?
We've got a lovely break for a few weeks. You can spend more time on your hobbies. Embroidery, pottery, shoplifting. The next grand prix is in Singapore on 2nd October. See this year's 2022 F1 schedule.
A credit of 13 points will appear on every team page on Sunday 18th September, a day we're calling Losers Loan Sunday. You can use these points on a number of things: not losing points on Forecasts or Punts, gaining a few extra Track Points, or buying an Ejector Seat. If you don't use your 13 points, they will vanish at the end of the month. Read all about Losers Loan Sunday.
We've had a tonne of automatic Boost Buttons in the last couple of races. Things will calm down for the next few grands prix. And then, at the start of November, we will automatically press every unused Boost Button. This will lead to double-points mayhem in the last two races of the season. If you want to get ahead of the game and double your Track Points earlier than that, press a Boost Button now.
You can earn quite a few points from Fast Forecasts if you play your cards right. Place a Forecast for Singapore.
