Formula 1's junior championships have just one round left in , after F3 crowned its champion in the season-finale event at the Temple of Speed. The third-tier series returned from its extended summer break with chaos, craziness, and a new race victor in an all-British Feature Race podium. Meanwhile, Formula 2 has a driver with one hand on the title after a weekend where the championship battle took yet another twist. Pourchaire's Saudi Arabian moment of madness seems to have been an early-season reminder of how he might lose the title, and he raced Monza with one eye on the ultimate prize by carefully picking up points rather than risking a crash. Pole position and the fastest lap helped lessen the blow of 'only' finishing P3 in the Feature Race, with those three additional points potentially proving valuable should Pourchaire suffer a low-scoring season finale. ART showed why they are leading the F2 teams' standings, with Victor Martins keeping pace with Pourchaire all weekend in what increasingly appears as the best pairing in the championship. Double misfortune in the Feature Race with his DRS failure and dropping down during the safety car pit stops didn't conceal Martins' pace from my eyes, and the F3 champion is looking like a lead contender for the F2 title. Martins' late-braking overtakes in the Sprint Race at Rettifilo on his advance through the order in the Feature Race shows a driver that has shaken off the rookie errors that plagued his early races. Perhaps an unexpected choice for my top-three picks in Monza, but Richard Verschoor was a consistent top presence in a car that I'm not sure is worthy of those heights. The front-row start in the reverse grid Sprint Race aided his trip to the podium on Saturday, but he never looked out of place among the championship-leading drivers. An unsafe release in Sunday's Feature Race combined with the safety car finish had his excellent P4 reduced into a point-less race. However, that's the team's fault for an ambitious pit stop release during the aftermath of yet another Roy Nissany F2 crash.

It really looked like, after two-and-a-bit tough seasons with Williams, George Russell was finally going to get his just desserts and his first points for the team. But from there on, it was an exemplary race day performance for Sainz, who used the rejuvenated race pace of his SF21 so glaringly absent at Paul Ricard to carve through the field and claim P6 at the flag. Charles Leclerc was scored just behind his team mate, after finishing P7 and 12 seconds adrift of Sainz. That he did well.
