Considering we didn't know whether we'd have any racing at all to ponder over, the fact we've reached the 10-race milestone already is an extraordinary feat of logistics, and long may the streak continue.

Formula 1 screeched and screamed its way through the last triple header with the Italian Grand Prix and Tuscan Grand Prix providing electrifying viewing with three red flags combined between the races.

Lewis Hamilton triumphed at Mugello last time out as he extended his lead atop the F1 driver standings while Red Bull ace Alex Albon recorded his maiden podium finish.

Mercedes continue to streak ahead in the F1 constructor standings, but the midfield battle has shaped up superbly in recent weeks.

Ferrari are sixth out of 10, while Alphatauri sit seventh with precisely half the points of third-placed McLaren. Between them, Racing Point and Renault continue to show marked improvements and will hope for even brighter form in the second half of the season.
