Ferrari chairman John Elkann and CEO Benedetto Vigna were both at Monza as Ferrari endured a miserable home race. Italian reports say the performance has intensified scrutiny on Fred Vasseur, while paddock sources suggest the sight of Kimi Antonelli winning from P19 in a Mercedes as the Tifosi celebrated an Italian winner did not go down well with Ferrari’s senior leadership. Vasseur’s contract was renewed earlier this year, so this is not confirmation he is being replaced. But after operational mistakes, driver tension and poor performance, is he now under serious pressure to deliver a response? 🔴 FERRARI ENGINE UPGRADE — NOT A GAME CHANGER Ferrari used its second ADUO power-unit upgrade at Monza, but Fred Vasseur says the team is still “missing pure power”. Ferrari had already warned the update would not transform the SF-26 overnight, and Oliver Bearman reached the same conclusion after running the new specification for Haas. Bearman said the power-unit step was much smaller than Haas’ aerodynamic upgrade, while Ferrari remained behind Mercedes on the straights at the most power-sensitive circuit of the season. With Ferrari having used both 2026 engine upgrade opportunities while Mercedes has yet to introduce its own update, how much can Maranello recover this year? 🟠 McLAREN REVIEW NORRIS v PIASTRI McLaren will review the closing laps of the Italian GP after Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri nearly came together while fighting for fourth. Norris briefly took to the grass, although both drivers later described the racing as fair. Andrea Stella says McLaren will examine whether letting them fight cost the team a better opportunity to attack Max Verstappen for the final podium place. Are the Papaya Rules about to change again? 🐂 RED BULL CONFIRM MADRID DRIVER CALL Isack Hadjar will miss the Spanish Grand Prix in Madrid as his wrist recovery continues. Liam Lawson will remain alongside Max Verstappen at Red Bull, while Yuki Tsunoda stays with Arvid Lindblad at Racing Bulls for a third consecutive weekend. Red Bull says Hadjar’s recovery is progressing positively, but he is not yet ready to return. Could another Madrid performance change the driver picture again? 👇 JOIN THE DEBATE Is Vasseur now fighting for his Ferrari future? Has the engine upgrade disappointed? Should McLaren change how Norris and Piastri race? And is Lawson making the most of his Red Bull second chance? 👍 SMASH LIKE if you enjoyed tonight’s show and SUBSCRIBE for daily F1 News, Formula 1 News, F1 Live and F1 2026 coverage. 🏁 Come for the vibe.
