Not From Chicago, But Close Enough

The Monza Majesty | Italian GP Recap


Listen Later

Round 16 of the Formula One World Championship took us to the Autodromo Nazionale Monza for the Italian Grand Prix, the home of the Tifosi and a race in which everyone roots for Ferrari. It didn’t seem as it would be the day for the boys in scarlet red as the McLaren’s were once again dominant, locking out the front row and controlling most of the race, but one strategical error was all it took from the pitwall, with the team bringing in both drivers for a two stop and Leclerc opting to hang it out on an old set of hards to make it to the end just 2.6 seconds ahead of Piastri. Pure euphoria. Elsewhere around the paddock, we saw the rewards of a large upgrade package for Ferrari, Antonelli was officially signed to Mercedes for 2025 onward, and F2 rookie Franco Colapinto replaced Logan Sargeant at Williams for the remainder of the season. The rookie sprint at Abu Dhabi is now in planning, Alpine employees came out to protest Renault’s desire to draw back on their engine development and Bottas may be staying with Sauber for another year. A fantastic Italian GP left us ready for more and we can't wait for Baku in 2 weeks time. Thanks as always for stopping out On the Gravel with us!
