Verstappen sends message to McLaren: 'I'm here'

The winner of the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix was Red Bull driver Max Verstappen. Although it was a long race, it was one that Verstappen could definitely not beat, and he sent a message to the McLaren drivers saying, 'I'm here.'

Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri, the flash duo of the season, saw Verstappen less than even the spectators in the stands. Verstappen beat Piastri by braking late in the first meters of the race and established a great superiority throughout the race.

Despite the safety car leaving the track with 10 laps to go, he amazed everyone by opening a 6.1 second gap by the time the race ended.

One of the things that is always said is that when Verstappen is in control it is very difficult to pass him.

Another important event was Lewis Hamilton's performance. Despite starting from far behind in the Immola, he applied a great drive and strategy, coming from 12th to 4th place, and he almost said 'I'm here too'.

As for RedBull, I think Hadjar's performance should be considered now. At the beginning of the season, they sent Liam Lawson away in the first weeks and brought Tsunoda. If things continue like this, Hadjar could be Verstappen's teammate next year.

Lando Norris is still in first place in the general classification with 146 points. His teammate Norris follows him with 133 points. Max Verstappen, who raced like a real champion today, is behind him with 124 points with only 1 weekend point.
