We just can't have anything straightforward at McLaren can we?
Dre, Cam and RJ are back to make sense of F1's latest trip to Monza's Cathedral of Speed and the 2025 Italian Grand Prix.
One part was straight-forward and that was Max Verstappen, whose work with Red Bull's new floor and new low-downforce package led to the fastest lap and race in F1 history, a lap at 164mph, and a race that was over in just 73 minutes, at an averagew speed of 155!
But behind him, there was drama with the McLaren's running second and third. Lando Norris had a bad final stop via a faulty wheel gun, allowing Oscar Piastri to get back in front, only for McLaren to call for fairness, and to swap the drivers back around. Is this okay? Should McLaren aim for fairness with its riders, even with team orders on the table?
And finally, is Stefano Domenicalli right for steering F1 towards "shorter attention-spans" in its younger audiences with radical ideas such as reverse grid sprint races, less practice time, or even shorting races themselves? All that and more on another Motorsport101!
