Championship Leader Antonelli Wins Italian Grand Prix
The 20-year-old Italian won his first home Grand Prix and stretched his championship lead to 66 points after a late pass on George Russell.
- On Sunday, Kimi Antonelli won the Italian Grand Prix at Monza after starting 19th, becoming the first Italian driver to win his home race since Ludovico Scarfiotti in 1966.

- Antonelli benefited from a "free" tyre change during a virtual safety car on lap 29, gaining fresh mediums while Mercedes teammate George Russell remained on hard tyres; he passed Russell on lap 50.
- Max Verstappen finished third in his Red Bull ahead of McLarens drivers Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri, while Antonelli extended his championship lead to 66 points with his seventh victory of the season.
- Seven-Time world champion Lewis Hamilton finished sixth, rounding out the top finishers, marking Antonelli's seventh victory of the season as the 20-year-old Italian extends his dominance in the championship.
