Max Verstappen secured a commanding victory at the Italian Grand Prix on Sunday, taking his first win since May and the third of his season.
The Red Bull driver, who had claimed pole position and set the fastest lap in Formula 1 history at Monza on Saturday, led from lap four after briefly losing the lead at the first corner.
Lando Norris finished second, almost 20 seconds behind Verstappen, with teammate Oscar Piastri in third. McLaren’s team order late in the race saw Piastri allow Norris to pass after a slow pit stop, trimming the gap in the championship to 31 points with eight races left. Piastri expressed frustration but complied with the instruction.
Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc delighted the home crowd with a fourth-place finish, while Lewis Hamilton recovered from a grid penalty to finish sixth. The British driver had started 10th but moved up through the field in a solid display.
The race was largely free of major incidents, though Italian rookie Kimi Antonelli dropped a position to tenth after a five-second penalty for contact with Alex Albon.
Verstappen praised his team’s strategy, describing the weekend as “unbelievable,” while Norris said it had been “a good fight” despite some early setbacks. With this result, Verstappen remains third in the championship, 94 points behind Piastri, ending his streak of consecutive titles but keeping the season’s competition lively.
