The Monza Grand Prix wasn't just another long awaited Max Verstappen win, it was proof that McLaren's biggest threat is themselves. Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri showed once again that the papaya team is top of the field while McLaren imposed team orders that divided fans even more than they already are. The question now isn't "can McLaren win?" it's "can they survive themselves?"

Last Sunday's Dutch Grand Prix wasn't just the first race back after the summer break; it was Formula 1 running in full soap opera mode, which I'm sure Netflix was happy about. Between Max Verstappen's podium at home, McLaren falling in on itself, a Red Bull Rookie announcing himself, and Ferrari seemingly going back to year 2022, Zandvoort proved that this season is far from over.
