Italian Grand Prix preview
1. Ferrari on home soil
Ferrari and Monza go together like cheese and tomato on a crispy dough base. It just works. You can't imagine one without the other, and everyone is happy when it all comes together. However, it's fair to say the Italians have cooked up a storm over the last few months with a slew of team errors – in strategy and the pit lane – littering their path. Ferrari have slipped in the constructor championship and are under increasing threat from Mercedes. They need a big result in front of their fans here.
2. Mercedes duel brewing
Hamilton and Russell have been an amicable pairing so far, but sparks are beginning to fly following Russell's strategy call and subsequent overtake on his teammate at the Dutch Grand Prix. Russell slipped on soft tyres to claim a podium spot at Hamilton's expense at the weekend. The seven-time world champion simply won't like that. Expect a backlash performance here.
3. Alpine on the rise
Alpine are going from strength to strength in 2022 and are beginning to pull away from McLaren in the constructor standings. They lead the Woking-based team by 24 points, and drivers Fernando Alonso and Esteban Ocon are consistently punching in top-10 results, with recent forays towards the top five.
