Summary
Max Verstappen produced a Monza masterclass, taking his third win of the season and Red Bull’s first victory under new Team Principal Laurent Mekies. How has Max’s approach changed under Mekies? And what does Laurent’s reaction to this result tell us about his leadership style?
McLaren had an awkward ending to their race. You’ll hear what both drivers made of the situation and Team Principal Andrea Stella explains McLaren’s decision-making and how the team have 'learned lessons' from previous championship battles between team mates.
Ferrari and Charles Leclerc couldn’t repeat their home race heroics of last year, with Charles in P4 and Lewis Hamilton climbing from 10th to sixth. Are there encouraging signs for the Scuderia ahead of the next race in Azerbaijan?
