Awesome race, well done to Ferrari and particularly Leclerc to manage those tyres. You can't begrudge the passionate Italian fans a win on home soil ever.

Red Bull continue on the express elevator down, I thought it was impossible for Verstappen to lose this year's WDC from where he is, now I'm not so sure. I think everyone acknowledges the Honda PU is powerful, it just shows how important the aero is overall and how fine margins can make such a huge difference. The car used to look on rails, now it barely wants to turn. Not good for a driver who likes a pointy front end.

And McLaren, yeah. All very well Brown saying he's got "two No1 drivers" and that they're "free to race", makes him sound like a benevolent boss. But, this is F1 and giving the drivers an equal chance is going to impact McLaren's chances of winning. Maybe Brown has already decided the WDC is a bridge too far and they just want to amass points towards the WCC. Easier than having a difficult conversation with Piastri I suppose.

Lawson Watch - not sure his case was helped by Perez, Ricciardo or Tsunoda over the weekend. Yuki couldn't get the upgrades to perform as the sim suggested they would. Ricciardo had a forgettable race and indirectly contributed to his teammate's DNF. The VCARB looked slow though. Checo finished within two spots of Max in a crappy car. Probably makes it harder to dump him if he's not getting shown up by Verstappen so obviously.

Colapinto did alright on his first outing, something to build on. Antonelli going to be Sargeant 2.0? A bit tongue in cheek I know, but I hope Mercedes are right about the kid. Same goes for Bearman and Doohan, going to be really interesting next year to see if they can all step up. Rather see that though than some of the journeymen we have now. Magnussen got his deserved race ban. Maybe unlucky on the incident at Monza but he's been a menace at times earlier in the season, things have ultimately evened out with the correct result.
