Max Verstappen will take part in a Pirelli tyre test at Monza on Tuesday alongside Yuki Tsunoda, Liam Lawson and Isack Hadjar. The Red Bull quartet will test F1's sole tyre manufacturer's 2026 range of compounds at the Temple of Speed, just two days after the Dutchman conquered the McLarens of Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri in the Italian Grand Prix. The Milton Keynes-based squad and its sister team Racing Bulls will each run one car apiece, with their respective drivers splitting the morning and afternoon sessions between them. Whilst it is not yet clear who will take which for the six-time constructors' champions, Racing Bulls has confirmed to RacingNews365 that Lawson will drive in the morning session, with Hadjar taking over the VCARB 02 in the afternoon. There were mixed fortunes among the four drivers during the race at Monza. Verstappen comfortably won from pole, but the strategy employed for his team-mate's RB21 cost the Japanese driver dearly. Having pitted early, he found himself overcut by those he was racing before a clash with Lawson left the two of them to come home in P13 and P14, respectively. Hadjar, meanwhile, had a more fruitful afternoon. Despite starting from the pit lane, the Frenchman made good use of his white-walled hard compound Pirellis to steal an unlikely point, taking the chequered flag in P10.
