The storm of controversy inside Ferrari is far from over. After a heated Dutch GP, iconic tifosi figure Jean Alesi has weighed in, claiming Lewis Hamilton went too far in criticizing the team and teammate Charles Leclerc following their Zandvoort clash. For Alesi, that sharp criticism only adds fuel to an already uncomfortable atmosphere in the red garage.
Amid the pressure, Ferrari is trying to move forward. For this weekend's Italian GP at Monza, they will sport a special livery inspired by the colors of Michael Schumacher when he delivered the Scuderia's first victory over three decades ago. That nostalgic touch is expected to reignite the spirit of the team and its fans.
Meanwhile, Toto Wolff has spoken out about Mercedes' development limitations. The Austrian team principal admitted that the budget cap is a major hurdle. An oversized structure plus reliability issues have left them unable to match rivals' upgrade pace.
More bad news for Mercedes: George Russell is confirmed to take a grid penalty, though it's still unclear at which circuit it will be applied. Another blow for a team fighting to bounce back.
On the other side, Max Verstappen will face an epic challenge at Silverstone on September 16. Speculation about his Red Bull contract clause has resurfaced, and criticism of the team's inability to develop the RB22 properly continues. Still no update on the appeal regarding Pierre Gasly's controversial Monaco podium.
These are the hot topics in the paddock, and it's worth watching how Ferrari responds to Alesi's criticism and the pressure at their home race.
