Max Verstappen trounced the McLarens of Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri at the Italian Grand Prix, easing to victory as chaos ensued behind him at Monza.
The Woking-based squad made the highly contentious call of invoking team orders to restore Norris to second place after a slow pit stop had seen him undercut by Piastri.
Despite reluctantly acquiescing to the decision, the 24-year-old made his feelings known over team radio.
It has proven polarising within the paddock and outside of it, given the McLaren team-mates are locked in an F1 drivers' championship battle, with both pursuing their first titles.
Here is how media from around the world reacted to the sixteenth round of the F1 season, the Italian Grand Prix.
Viewed by others:
🇬🇧 The Times - Norris booed on podium after team orders row over McLaren pitstop gaffe
British broadsheet newspaper The Times focused on the reaction from the Monza crowd to Norris in the aftermath of McLaren's intervention into the race result.
The 25-year-old was jeered at as he emerged on the podium at the Temple of Speed to accept his trophy for finishing second.
It was a seldom-covered element of the fallout from the Woking-based squad's decision to enact team orders, a divisive matter that will no doubt play a starring role on media day for the Azerbaijan Grand Prix.
🇳🇱 De Telegraaf - Red Bull team boss Laurent Mekies completely ignores himself: "I contributed nothing to this success."
Dutch paper De Telegraaf addressed home son Verstappen's victory in the Italian Grand Prix, but shone a spotlight on Red Bull team principal Laurent Mekies.
Specifically, it highlighted remarks made by the Frenchman after the race at Monza, which was Red Bull's first grand prix win of his era in charge.
He moved to downplay his involvement in the triumph, instead shifting the focus and praise onto the 1500 people who work beneath him in Milton Keynes.
🇦🇺 Herald Sun - F1 storm erupts as Oscar Piastri dudded by own team in fastest race in history
Australian tabloid the Herald Sun unsurprisingly zeroed in on the controversy surrounding McLaren's use of team orders, something that adversely affected Piastri.
It claimed the nine-time grand prix winner had been "dudded" by the papaya team, suggesting he was tricked or swindled out of second position. Without that intervention, he would have left Monza with a 37-point lead over Norris in the F1 drivers' standings; instead, his advantage is just 31.
The article also underlined the record Verstappen helped clinch for F1 in Italy, taking the record for the quickest grand prix in the championship's history.
🇮🇹 La Gazetta dello Sport - Norris-Piastri reversal, Verstappen mercilessly on the radio: "Ah ah ah, just for a slow stop?"
Also addressing the contentious late-race team orders at McLaren, Italian publication La Gazetta dello Sport pointed out Verstappen's reaction over team radio to the call.
When informed by engineer Gianpiero Lambiase, the Dutchman could see the funny side of it, laughing whilst questioning the logic and virtue of the constructors' champion's decision.
It is not a situation the four-time F1 drivers' champion has encountered much during his own career, given his stranglehold on the number 1 status at Red Bull.
🇪🇸 El País - Max Verstappen's monstrous triumph at Monza
Spanish outlet El País covered the dominance displayed by Verstappen in cantering to his third grand prix victory of the season.
The 27-year-old finished the race almost 20 seconds up the road from Norris, the largest winning margin of the campaign.
The fact it was minutely contributed to by the mess surrounding McLaren's pit stops and Piastri letting his team-mate past should take nothing away from his "monstrous" performance, which came just 12 months after driving an actual "monster" at Monza, as Verstappen himself put it.
🇫🇷 L'equipe - Leclerc and Hamilton celebrated anyway
French publication L'Equipe put McLaren and Verstappen aside momentarily to address the rapturous reception Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton received at Monza.
It has been a difficult season for the Scuderia, but that did not dampen the adoring Tifosi's reaction to the two drivers across the weekend.
Whilst not the on-track result the fans would have hoped for, with fourth and sixth, respectively, the response to the pair underlines how much support there is for them and Ferrari to turn things around.
