Max Verstappen wins F1’s Italian Grand Prix with dominant drive at Monza
Max Verstappen broke the Formula 1 lap record with a 1:18.792 qualifying time and won the Italian Grand Prix by 19.2 seconds, ending McLaren's dominance this season.
- On Saturday at Monza, four-time world champion Max Verstappen set the fastest qualifying lap in F1 history at 1:18.792, beating Lewis Hamilton's 1:18.887, and won the Italian Grand Prix on Sunday.
- With McLaren dominant this year, winning 12 of 15 Grands Prix, Red Bull Racing's Max Verstappen entered Monza trailing Oscar Piastri by 104 points after a win drought.
- The race pivoted when a 5.9-second slow pit stop left Lando Norris behind Oscar Piastri, prompting McLaren to order Piastri to hand the place back, which he did despite protesting.
- The result immediately reshaped the title race, with Oscar Piastri's lead trimmed to 31 points from 34 and Lando Norris narrowing his deficit by three points, while Max Verstappen's Monza win boosted his momentum.
- The move drew boos from the crowd and criticism in the paddock as F1 fans and commentators condemned McLaren's 'favouritism', while McLaren team principal Andrea Stella defended it as "the fair thing to do" and praised Oscar Piastri's sportsmanship.
