Surprisingly, the Italian Grand Prix was a spectacle. Pierre Gasly took off with the victory and Carlos Sainz and Lance Stroll also appeared on the podium. However, the expectations for the Tuscany Grand Prix are much lower.

Few people will have predicted the outcome of the Italian Grand Prix well. With three mid-engines on the podium, the race could hardly have gone any crazier, but for those who think that Formula 1 is now coming back to life, it is a bit wrong. According to Kees van de Grint we should expect much less from the GP of Tuscany.

Verstappen back to Mugello?

''I hardly dare to say it now, but I expect Mercedes and Max Verstappen back there. However, you now have the hope that we will see more unexpected things in Formula 1 and Mugello is a great circuit. Hopefully the cameraman will be able to get a good picture of that'', says Van de Grint at RTL GP Slipstream.

The fact that the teams can do less data and preparation for Mugello does play an important role. ''They now have less data and have to get everything done in a shorter time. Mercedes has a lot left over to the rest and it won't happen for a second time that Red Bull Racing doesn't give good material to Verstappen'', concludes the former tyre expert of Bridgestone.
