He looked ruthless, composed, and reminded everyone that Red Bull isn’t going quietly. Lando Norris snatched the fastest lap on the final tour — another Monza record — but Verstappen’s dominance set the tone.⚔️ McLaren’s Mixed Podium: Norris, Piastri & Team OrdersMcLaren locked out 2nd and 3rd, but the headlines weren’t about their pace — they were about team orders.Norris lost time with a slow pit stop, briefly allowing Piastri to undercut him.McLaren told Piastri to give the place back under their “fair racing” policy.Piastri argued on the radio but eventually complied, narrowing Norris’s championship deficit to just 31 points.This decision has split opinion — is it smart management to keep the title fight clean, or a dangerous precedent that risks team harmony?💥 Other Notables from MonzaCharles Leclerc salvaged 4th for Ferrari, giving the Tifosi something to cheer about but still missing the podium.George Russell and Lewis Hamilton brought Mercedes home in 5th and 6th after a gritty recovery drive from Hamilton.Alex Albon and rookie Gabriel Bortoleto impressed with P7 and P8.Kimi Antonelli crossed the line 9th but took a penalty for forcing Albon off track.Isack Hadjar grabbed the final point in P10, proving once again he’s no flash in the pan.Fernando Alonso retired with suspension failure, Nico Hülkenberg didn’t even make the start, and Oliver Bearman picked up a penalty in a clash with Sainz that could put him close to a race ban.💬 Hot Takes & Listener QuestionsWas Verstappen’s Monza masterclass a warning to McLaren that Red Bull’s still got the edge?Did McLaren’s “fair racing” swap strengthen their title chances — or light a fuse inside the team?Was Leclerc’s 4th place progress, or just another Ferrari disappointment on home soil?And is Hadjar’s gritty P10 a sign of Racing Bulls’ momentum, or just a one-off?Hashtags:#F1Podcast #F12025 #ItalianGP #Formula1 #F1HotTakes #F1Drama #F1Review #FerrariF1 #MercedesF1 #McLarenF1 #RedBullF1 #IsackHadjar #LandoNorris #OscarPiastri
