Can Ferrari's Upgrades Win Monza? | 2026 Italian GP Preview

Ferrari roll into their home race with a second power unit token, a rumoured turbo change, and a livery built to honour Schumacher's 1996 Monza win — but is it enough to actually convert into a race win?

Tom and Chris break down whether the upgrades stack up, plus everything else moving in F1 this week: Norris' new deal through 2030, Colapinto staying put at Alpine, the increasingly open Haas seat, and a theory on whether Toyota could be eyeing Yuki Tsunoda.

Plus, Antonelli's grid penalty, the track's four straight-line mode zones, Isaac Hajar's wrist injury, and Russell's shot at cutting into the championship lead — before locking in this week's predictions.
