Max Verstappen won a 6th consecutive victory this season at the Italian Grand Prix. The Dutchman won under the safety car, finishing ahead of Charles Leclerc and George Russell.
After a weekend where the orange was out, make way for the red! As you will have understood, Formula 1 is back on the legendary national autodrome of Monza for the Italian Grand Prix. On the occasion of this 72nd edition of the Grand Prix, the circuit inaugurated on September 3, 1922, will celebrate its centenary.
Known as the temple of speed, the Italian track gives pride of place to one thing only… Speed. 5.793 km long and made up of 11 bends, the circuit is “fast and fluid”, confided Fernando Alonso. With an average speed of 225 km/h and peaks expected at 350 km/h, the Italian layout favors overtaking at two places on the circuit, the first chicane of turns 1 and 2 then a little further on that of turns 4 and 5.
