George Russell mentioned that the recent performances of Mercedes and Red Bull have been peculiar, especially after Ferrari and McLaren dominated the Italian Grand Prix. Lando Norris comfortably won at Zandvoort, while Charles Leclerc’s strategic moves secured him victory over the McLarens at Monza. Hamilton finished fifth at Monza, over 22 seconds behind Leclerc, with Red Bulls lagging over half a minute behind. Russell expressed surprise at the sudden shift in performance, acknowledging McLaren and Ferrari’s current advantage. Despite finishing seventh at Monza, Russell was gaining on Verstappen before a front-wing incident impacted his race. Hamilton found his Italian Grand Prix unexciting as he struggled to match the top four’s pace, noting an unexpected lack of speed.
