Max Verstappen will carry a three-place grid penalty into the Russian Grand Prix as a consequence of his Italian GP clash with Lewis Hamilton.

Whether that’s a fair outcome is among the questions from The Race Members’ Club that Edd Straw, Scott Mitchell and Mark Hughes tackle as they assess the Monza weekend in The Race F1 Podcast.

The title rivals’ collision is inevitably the biggest topic, with the wider question of Verstappen and Hamilton’s attitudes to each other and overall F1 driving standards considered too.

But McLaren ending its nine-year F1 win drought and Daniel Ricciardo’s amazing personal turnaround are not neglected, and the performances of every team and driver in the field are assessed as well.
