Before Monza, the F1 circus rolled into the Netherlands for the dramatic Dutch Grand Prix at Zandvoort—here’s the skinny:
- Oscar Piastri absolutely smashed it from pole to chequered flag, claiming his seventh win of the season and notching a rare grand chelem (pole, win, fastest lap, led every lap).
- Lando Norris, kept company on the same McLaren, was forced to retire just seven laps from the end due to an oil leak—turning Piastri’s title push into even more of a one-man show.
- Max Verstappen grabbed P2 on home soil, while rookie Isack Hadjar delivered a shocker of a performance to land his and Racing Bulls’ first-ever podium in P3.
- Ferrari’s weekend went sideways—Lewis Hamilton crashed in the early laps, Leclerc and Mercedes‑junior Kimi Antonelli collided later, earning Ferrari a double DNF and raising the pressure as Monza approaches.
What to Expect at Monza—In Your Voice
What’s next? Monza is not just another race; it’s a war of speed, cunning, and nerves. With Piastri’s momentum and Norris determined to respond, expect fiery battles in the heats and down the straights.
Ferrari will be brimming with Tifosi energy, but that success at home needs performances—not just passion. Monza could flip the championship—or seal its fate.
So, buckle up. Whether you’re cheering for the Aussie precision of Piastri, rallying behind Norris, or hoping Ferrari finally finds pace, Monza promises a weekend of pure, unfiltered F1 frenzy.
