Max Verstappen (tenth, 1 pt) : 9/10
Verstappen’s run of bad luck continued in Italy. He was stunning in qualifying but was demoted to row seven. At the start, Max was on the move and picking up positions when he got too close to Massa at the first “Variante”. Losing nearly a lap with a puncture, the likelihood of a point’s finish was next to nil thereafter, yet he finished tenth despite two pit stops. Red Bull would have undoubtedly had a better chance than expected at Monza without the engine penalties.
