F1 Results Today: Verstappen snatches Italian GPwin after late McLaren drama
Max Verstappen dominated the Italian Grand Prix this weekend in front of the heartbroken tifosi, holding onto his pole position and driving off into the distance after a chaotic first stage with McLaren star Lando Norris.
Verstappen regained the race lead on lap four, with Norris eventually finishing behind him and team-mate Oscar Piastri, who was instructed to give his position back to Norris after a strategic pit-stop move.
Charles Leclerc finished in fourth place, with George Russell close behind, and Lewis Hamilton making up four places after starting in 10th due to a grid penalty.
Several drivers experienced issues, with Nico Hulkenberg retiring before the race even began and Fernando Alonso suffering a suspension failure, contributing to a high number of DNFs in the race.
Max Verstappen is the current F1 world champion, having won his fourth drivers’ championship last year. Additionally, for the 2025 season, the rule change removed the awarding of fastest lap points.
