Overview

• Max Verstappen won the Italian Grand Prix by roughly 19–20 seconds over the McLarens, leveraging a bespoke low-drag rear wing and a race‑strong setup.
• Red Bull figures credited improved balance and setup clarity for the step in form, though Verstappen cautioned the performance remains track‑dependent.
• McLaren instructed Oscar Piastri to cede position to Lando Norris after a slow pit stop; Piastri voiced frustration on team radio before complying, and Andrea Stella defended the call.
• International coverage praised Verstappen’s display and highlighted controversy around McLaren’s order, which preserved Norris’ second place ahead of championship leader Piastri.
• Porsche’s No. 6 (Estre/Vanthoor/Campbell) won a chaotic, rain‑disrupted Lone Star Le Mans after a red flag and multiple safety cars, with Ferrari No. 50 second and Peugeot No. 94 third, as Alpine’s No. 36 lost laps after an aquaplaning off and later repairs.
