Liam Lawson, Red Bull (P14) – 5/10
A tough reality check after his heroics at Zandvoort. While his teammate fought for podium honours, Lawson lagged way behind. He pointed toward an unhelpful front wing adjustment during his pit stop, but the gap to the front car was stark.
Carlos Sainz, Williams (P13) – 5.5/10
Fought valiantly in a Williams package that predictably lacked genuine Monza speed. A clever undercut strategy helped him jump Ocon, but that was the absolute ceiling of what his machinery permitted. Maximum effort, minimal reward.
