Max Verstappen got back to winning ways at the Italian Grand Prix. Together with McLaren's team order decision, the Lollipopman once again recapped the best moments from last weekend.

Verstappen achieved his first victory since the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix, completing the Italian double.

Another key talking point since last Sunday is McLaren's decision to ask Oscar Piastri to hand Lando Norris back the position, after a slow pit stop dropped the Briton behind his teammate and title rival at Monza.

Currently, 31 points separate the two drivers in the standings with eight rounds to go.

The Lollipopman also put his spin on the decision, with creating an ad featuring 'Papaya Insurance.'

Team principal Andrea Stella on McLaren's decision

Speaking to GPblog after his home Grand Prix, team principal Andrea Stella reflected on McLaren’s decision to ask their drivers to swap positions

"However the championship goes, what's important is that it runs within the principles and the racing values that we have at McLaren, that we have created together with our drivers.

"The situation whereby we swap the drivers is not only related to the pit stop, and this is useful that I clarified this, it's also related to the fact that we wanted to sequence the pit stop of the two cars by stopping Oscar first and then Lando.

"We thought it was absolutely the right thing to go back to the situation pre-existing the pit stop and then let the guys race. This is what we did, and this is what we think is in compliance with our principles," he explained.
