Why Max Verstappen Is Ready To Dominate F1’s Future

The Formula 1 season continues this weekend with the Italian Grand Prix at Monza with Max Verstappen surging towards a second World Championship after winning a fourth straight race in Zandvoort.

The Red Bull driver has a 109-point lead at the top of the Drivers Standings with seven races to go after overtaking Lewis Hamilton late on to win his home Grand Prix, with George Russell coming second and Charles Leclerc completing the podium in third.

Hamilton, who led for much of the race, did not benefit from two safety car periods and ultimately finished fourth while Carlos Sainz was demoted from fifth to eighth after the Ferrari man was handed a five-second time penalty for an unsafe release in the pit lane, with Sergio Perez instead finishing fifth.

This weekend, F1 finshes the European swing at Autodromo Nazionale Monza - which is celebrating its 100th anniversary - for the Italian Grand Prix; a race memorable in 2021 for Daniel Ricciardo leading a McLaren one-two and Verstappen and Hamilton crashing at turn one.

Here is everything you need to know.

What has been said?

Nico Rosberg lambasted Ferrari’s pit wall after more errors during the Dutch Grand Prix, insisting “even F2 and F3 teams do a better job” than the Scuderia.

Carlos Sainz was the unlucky recipient of confusion among the Ferrari pit crew, with his first pit stop on lap 15 costing him at least 12 seconds after the crew were left scrambling to fit the Spaniard’s left-rear tyre. To make matters worse, Red Bull’s Sergio Perez ran over a loose wheel gun amid the mayhem and, later in the race, Sainz was left reeling once again as he almost collided with Esteban Ocon in the pit lane.

Sainz was given a five-second time penalty for an unsafe release, demoting him from fourth to eighth in the final standings and costing the Spaniard eight World Championship points as Max Verstappen extended his championship lead to 109 points over Charles Leclerc. Nico Rosberg, the 2016 world champion for Mercedes, could not believe what he was watching and told Sky F1 that changes needed to be made at Ferrari after a season overshadowed by botched strategy calls.

“Oh my goodness,” Rosberg said. “Mattia Binotto keeps saying ‘no, no, we don’t need to make any changes, everything is going well’. I mean, when is the day coming? It’s not possible [to carry on as it is].

“Even Formula Two teams or Formula Three teams do a better job at their strategy and pit stops than Ferrari. So you’re in the pit and there’s no tyre in a normal race. At some point they really need to start making some changes.”
