After the race, Verstappen reiterated his indifference to the team orders issue, emphasizing that it was not something he concerned himself with.
Despite a fierce battle with Norris at the start, where he was forced off track but maintained his lead, Verstappen eventually settled into a dominant performance, securing his third Italian Grand Prix win in four years.
