梅赛德斯与法拉利：意大利大奖赛长距离测试未分高下
勒克莱尔在第一节自由练习领跑后，拉塞尔在第二节自由练习以最快圈速为梅赛德斯反击，随后的长距离测试被视作周日正赛节奏的重要指标，但结果仍不明朗，没有明显热门。
梅赛德斯对阵法拉利：意大利大奖赛的长距离测试没有明确的夺冠热门
意大利大奖赛看起来越来越有可能成为梅赛德斯与法拉利之间的一场较量
在夏尔·勒克莱尔为法拉利占据第一节练习赛头名之后，梅赛德斯在更具代表性的第二节练习赛中予以回击，乔治·拉塞尔做出了最快圈速。
这使得第二节自由练习赛末段的长距离测试尤其引人关注。这些测试被视为周日正赛节奏的重要参考指标。然而局面却再清晰不过地模糊不清。
在根据不同的赛段长度和轮胎配方对长距离正赛模拟进行调整后，法拉利和梅赛德斯实际上处于同一水平。夏尔·勒克莱尔和刘易斯·汉密尔顿的节奏完全相同（+0.00秒），而乔治·拉塞尔每圈只慢了百分之二秒。积分榜领先者基米·安东内利每圈也只慢了0.04秒。
梅赛德斯对决法拉利：不同的能量管理是关键吗？
蒙扎赛道拥有长长的直道和相对较少的弯角，因此能量管理起着尤为重要的作用。而两支领先的车队似乎采取了略有不同的方式：梅赛德斯似乎在一圈的前段获得更多时间，而法拉利似乎在最后一个计时段把时间追回来。
乔治·拉塞尔在第二次练习赛中做出了27.044秒的成绩，是第一个计时段第二快的车手，仅落后于皮埃尔·加斯利（27.039秒）。与此同时，法拉利在那里损失了大约0.15到0.2秒，刘易斯·汉密尔顿做出了27.174秒，夏尔·勒克莱尔则是27.259秒。
梅赛德斯在第二计时段也是全场最快的，成绩为27.784秒。法拉利在蒙扎这条最具技术性的路段又损失了大约十分之一秒，成绩为27.874秒。然而在第三计时段，形势发生了变化：勒克莱尔的27.546秒比第二次自由练习赛最快圈速获得者拉塞尔的27.721秒快了大约十分之二秒。
因此看来，梅赛德斯在单圈前段使用了稍多一些的性能，而法拉利则在后半段追回时间。然而，谁应该被认为是排位赛和正赛的热门，目前仍然完全不明朗。差距极其微小，在前列任何一点小失误都可能损失好几个位置。
迈凯伦挣扎，红牛出局
至少有一点似乎很清楚：梅赛德斯和法拉利很可能将为前排位置展开争夺。迈凯伦在第二次自由练习赛的单圈速度上落后了大约十分之四秒。不过在长距离测试中，兰多·诺里斯每圈只落后基准成绩0.19秒。
因此，蒙扎似乎并不像布达佩斯和赞德沃特那些更狭窄、更讲究技术的赛道那样适合MCL40。不出所料，这支木瓜车队在蒙扎的第二赛段表现最佳，但损失的时间太多，尤其是在最后一个赛段。
虽然迈凯伦整个赛季都在极速和整体效率方面苦苦挣扎，但红牛却并非如此。它的内燃机被视为一级方程式的标杆，而且在空气动力学阻力方面，红牛也处于另一个极端，表现同样出色。
然而，红牛在蒙扎的高速赛道布局上充其量只能算是第四快的车队。排位赛模拟（慢0.818秒）和长距离测试（慢0.22秒）都指向这一方向。在比赛节奏方面，该车队似乎要更接近一些，但根本问题依然存在：小红牛22在前两个赛段的弯道中损失了太多时间，而且已经无法在直道上弥补这一差距。
奥迪陷入困境，而阿尔派在中游集团的争夺中实现复苏
蒙扎赛道独特的赛道特性似乎也使得中游车队的实力格局发生了一定的变化。虽然小红牛（小红牛）看起来仍然领跑中游集团，但之前表现强劲的奥迪车队可能已经有所落后。
厂队似乎在引擎性能方面尤其欠缺，而这一点在蒙扎的代价特别大。奥迪不仅排位赛模拟成绩平平（慢1.173秒），长距离（阶段，即长距离测试）的表现也不尽如人意。
加布里埃尔·博托莱托（博托莱托）只跑了三圈就因技术问题结束了测试。他的队友尼科·霍肯伯格（霍肯伯格）在更具参考价值的长距离测试中，每圈比基准慢了1.42秒。
这使得奥迪不仅落后于小红牛（小红牛）（+0.72），还落后于阿尔派（+0.88）、威廉姆斯（+1.24）和哈斯（+1.28）。
阿斯顿·马丁在最近展现出改善状态之后，似乎也陷入了挣扎。阿隆索未能完成任何有意义的正赛长距离测试，而斯特罗尔的长距离单圈则比基准慢了3.94秒。这使得阿斯顿·马丁再次大幅落后于凯迪拉克（慢2.20秒）。
在周五的练习赛之后，战略层面的图景应该比竞争格局本身更容易评估。长距离测试显示三种轮胎配方都没有出现明显的轮胎退化。因此，在所有可能的轮胎组合下采用一停策略，看来都比周日采用两停策略更为可取。

Mercedes vs Ferrari: Italian GP long runs leave no clear favourite
The Italian Grand Prix looks increasingly set to become a battle between Mercedes and Ferrari
After Charles Leclerc topped the opening practice session for Ferrari, Mercedes struck back in the more representative second practice session, with George Russell setting the fastest time.
That made the long runs at the end of FP2 particularly intriguing. They are considered an important indicator of potential race pace for Sunday. Yet the picture could hardly be any less clear.
Once the long runs are adjusted for different stint lengths and tyre compounds, Ferrari and Mercedes are virtually level. Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton were exactly equal on pace (+0.00s), while George Russell was just two hundredths of a second per lap behind. Championship leader Kimi Antonelli was only 0.04 seconds off the pace per lap as well.
Mercedes vs Ferrari: Is different energy management key?
With Monza's long straights and relatively few corners, energy management plays a particularly important role. And the two leading teams appear to have taken slightly different approaches: Mercedes seems to gain more time at the beginning of the lap, while Ferrari appears to claw it back in the final sector.
George Russell posted a 27.044s in the second practice session, the second-fastest time in the opening sector behind Pierre Gasly (27.039s). Ferrari, meanwhile, lost around one and a half to two tenths there, with Lewis Hamilton recording a 27.174s and Charles Leclerc a 27.259s.
Mercedes was also fastest of all in the second sector, with a 27.784s. Ferrari lost roughly another tenth in Monza's most technical section, recording a 27.874s. In the final sector, however, the picture changed: Leclerc's 27.546s was around two tenths quicker than FP2 winner Russell's 27.721s.
It therefore appears that Mercedes is using slightly more performance at the beginning of the lap, while Ferrari is making up ground towards the end. Who should now be considered the favourite for qualifying and the race remains completely unclear, however. The gaps are incredibly tight, and the smallest of mistakes could cost several positions at the front.
McLaren struggles, Red Bull out of contention
At the very least, it seems clear that Mercedes and Ferrari are likely to fight it out for the top positions. McLaren was around four tenths off the pace over a single lap in FP2. On the long runs, however, Lando Norris was only 0.19 seconds per lap off the benchmark.
Monza therefore does not appear to suit the MCL40 quite as well as the tighter, more technical circuits in Budapest and Zandvoort. Unsurprisingly, the Papaya team performs best in Monza's second sector, but it is losing too much time, particularly in the final sector.
While McLaren has struggled with top speed and overall efficiency throughout the season, the same cannot be said of Red Bull. Its internal combustion engine is regarded as the benchmark in Formula 1, while the Red Bull has also appeared to be at the other end of the spectrum when it comes to aerodynamic drag.
Nevertheless, Red Bull appear to be the fourth-best team at best on Monza's high-speed layout. The qualifying simulations (+0.818s) and long runs (+0.22s) both point in that direction. The team appears to be somewhat closer when it comes to race pace, but the fundamental problem remains: the RB22 loses too much time through the corners in the first two sectors, and it can no longer make up that deficit on the straights.
Audi struggles as Alpine makes a comeback in the midfield fight
The balance of power in the midfield also appears to have shifted somewhat as a result of Monza's unique track characteristics. While Racing Bulls still seems to be leading the midfield, the previously strong Audi team may have slipped back.
The works team appears to be particularly lacking in engine performance, something that is especially costly at Monza. Alongside only average qualifying simulations (+1.173s), Audi's long runs were also nothing to write home about.
Gabriel Bortoleto managed just three laps before a technical issue brought his running to an end. His team-mate Nico Hulkenberg was 1.42 seconds per lap off the benchmark in his more representative long run.
That left Audi not only behind Racing Bulls (+0.72), but also behind Alpine (+0.88), Williams (+1.24) and Haas (+1.28).
Aston Martin also appears to be struggling after showing improved form recently. Fernando Alonso was unable to complete any meaningful long runs, while Lance Stroll's were 3.94 seconds per lap slower than the benchmark. That left Aston Martin well behind Cadillac (+2.20) once again.
Following Friday's practice sessions, the strategic picture should be considerably easier to assess than the competitive order itself. The long runs showed no significant tyre degradation on any of the three compounds. As a result, a one-stop strategy on all possible tyre combinations appears preferable to a two-stop strategy on Sunday.
