Deep dives
Liam Lawson shines in his debut Formula One races
Liam Lawson has had an impressive debut in Formula One, finishing 11th in his last race, the highest result for the second AlphaTauri driver this season. Lawson showcased his professionalism and adaptability, performing well at Monza, a track he was familiar with. This strong performance puts him in contention for a seat with AlphaTauri or potentially another team like Williams. His success raises questions about Daniel Ricciardo's future, as Lawson's performance may impact his chances of securing a seat in either AlphaTauri or returning to Red Bull. Overall, Lawson's performances have been impressive, and he has proven himself as a promising candidate for a Formula One drive.
Ferrari's strong performance in Monza leaves them pleased but with room for improvement
Ferrari had a strong showing at Monza, securing a third and fourth-place finish. While Ferrari was pleased with their performance, they were left wanting more. In the context of the season, they were satisfied with their fight against Red Bull and their podium finish. However, they had hoped to do better and secure a win, especially given their pole position. The battle between Carlos Sainz and Charles Leclerc towards the end of the race added excitement and drama. Ferrari recognizes the importance of managing the team dynamics and maintaining good relationships between teammates. They are focused on securing their position in the constructors' championship and are aiming to continue progressing in the upcoming races.
Red Bull's dominance continues with Max Verstappen's 10th consecutive win
Max Verstappen's remarkable run of success continued at Monza, with him securing his 10th consecutive win. This extends Red Bull's dominance, as they have now won 24 out of the last 25 races. Verstappen's consistency and skill have been key to Red Bull's success. Their strong performances have raised questions about the possibility of another team challenging them for the remainder of the season. However, it remains to be seen which circuits will prove more challenging for Red Bull. Singapore, with its difficult and unique track characteristics, might provide an opportunity for other teams to challenge Red Bull's dominance. Nevertheless, Red Bull's strong performance and Verstappen's impressive achievements make them the team to beat.
Mercedes focuses on stability and development for next season
Mercedes' expectations for the remainder of the season are focused on stability and development for next year. They are prioritizing securing second place in the constructors' championship, with their strong driver lineup and a car that performs well on multiple tracks. Mercedes recognizes the need to evaluate and understand Red Bull's car, as well as McLaren's progress, in order to continue improving their own performance. While their focus is on next year's car and long-term goals, they still aim to achieve more podium finishes with Lewis Hamilton and solidify their position as the second best team. Mercedes' long-term stability comes from having secured contracts with their drivers and a clear direction for the future.
