F1 NATION: Max’s dominance, De Vries’s delight and Alpine’s driver dilemma – it’s our triple-header review

A huge number of talking points arose from Formula 1’s latest triple-header sequence, which involved action-packed visits to classic venues Spa-Francorchamps, Zandvoort and Monza.

With two weeks before the action resumes in Singapore, Tom Clarkson, Natalie Pinkham and Damon Hill review the trio of races – all won by Max Verstappen, but featuring plenty of drama – and take stock of the season so far.

Meanwhile, they cover the mounting pressure on Ferrari, as rivals Red Bull move further ahead, and ask whether Mercedes will break their 2022 victory duck – and if it could be George Russell rather than Lewis Hamilton who does so.
