Strap in for the latest episode of The Pitboard Discussions, where we unpack the raw drama from Zandvoort and Monza in the 2025 season! 🔥 We get the facts straight on McLaren’s nail-biting team orders call—after a botched 5.9-second pit stop dropped Lando Norris behind Oscar Piastri, the team instructed a late-race swap, letting Norris reclaim P2 and slicing Piastri’s championship lead from 34 to 31 points. Was it fair play echoing Hungary 2024, or a risky favoritism move that fired up the fans? Max Verstappen delivered a masterclass, smashing F1’s fastest-ever race record with pole-to-flag dominance and his third win of the year—but the Monza crowd flipped the script, showering the Red Bull ace with cheers and chants instead of the usual boos, leaving his camp buzzing with surprise (and fueling wild 2027 Ferrari rumors). Plus, we react to Lewis Hamilton’s up-and-down Ferrari debut season: no Grand Prix podiums yet after 16 races, a "useless" self-critique in Hungary, but a gritty P6 recovery from P10 at Monza amid whispers of car woes and podium hopes for Baku. 🏆 Dive into our unfiltered takes, expert breakdowns, and paddock gossip—don’t miss it!
