Next up: Italian Grand Prix at Autodromo Nazionale di Monza. Standard weekend: practice, qualifying, then the Grand Prix. Monza is the Temple of Speed: slipstream trains, DRS trains, and a crowd that has been watching horsepower since the 1920s. Lewis Hamilton leads the all-time wins list here with 5.
Paddock read: the title fight sets the tone for Italian Grand Prix. Antonelli leads on 242 pts, Russell is 59 back. Mercedes sit top of the constructors. Practice and qualifying still decide who can actually cash that in on Sunday.
Russell trails Antonelli by 59 pts. What happens this weekend feeds straight into that gap — every starter is driving for their championship, their seat, or both.
