F1 driver replaced for Italian GP as McLaren appeal FIA decision
The dust is still settling on last weekend's Dutch Grand Prix, which marked the return of F1 after the month-long summer shutdown. Lando Norris picked up where he left off in Hungary by claiming an impressive victory ahead of Kimi Antonelli and George Russell. Lewis Hamilton finished fourth but was left frustrated during the race due to being stuck behind Charles Leclerc for a number of laps.
TL;DR
- McLaren team principal Andrea Stella challenged Toto Wolff's statement about financial issues affecting Mercedes' upgrades.
- McLaren is awaiting the FIA's appeal outcome regarding Pierre Gasly's reinstatement to the Monaco Grand Prix podium.
- Alex Albon will be replaced by Luke Browning for the first practice session of the Italian Grand Prix.
