00:00Five lights on ahead of the drivers, it's lights out and away we go, they weren't held for long
00:04and Verstappen does get away well, alongside him is Daniel Ricciardo and Ricciardo is inching into the lead
00:09Daniel Ricciardo will have the inside line here, ahead of Max Verstappen, Hamilton has gone away well too
00:14it's Ricciardo into the first chicane ahead of Verstappen, Hamilton on the outside of Lando Norris
00:19Giovinazzi's made up a place past Carlos Sainz and he's now battling with Charles Leclerc, as to the curva grande
00:25we go
00:25that was perfect for Hamilton, straight up into third place, went around the outside of turn two
00:30he's directly behind his championship rival, indeed he's alongside him
00:34and Hamilton and Verstappen go into the second chain and a chicane and Hamilton goes off onto
00:39the rumble strips and it's force wide and he might lose a place here to Lando Norris
00:43as Antonio Giovinazzi has spun round and loses his front wing, as we look back to the Della
00:49Roger chicane and not for the first time in a chicane this season, wheel contact between Verstappen and
00:54Hamilton, oh so he's gone straight across the chicane then and somebody's presumably to his
00:59left at that point oh yeah so this is what happened, Giovinazzi comes back on the track in an unsafe
01:04manner, Hamilton with a bit of DRS here as Norris tries to break the toe, he's going to go for
01:10a move
01:10under braking, Lando Norris just squeezes Lewis Hamilton to the far left hand side and very gently
01:17and very subtly there stopped Hamilton from making a risky move but Hamilton's going to come back at him
01:21not just through the curva grande but towards the Della Roger chicane and Hamilton on the inside has
01:27got enough of a gap there has he got the pace in a straight fight with Norris not on this
01:31occasion
01:31Norris under braking holds on to that third place Esteban Ocon and Sebastian Vettel going into the Della
01:38Roger chicane misdemeanor there from Ocon Vettel's front axle was beyond the rear axle of the Alpine at one point
01:48so Lando Norris takes the lead Lewis Hamilton in second then comes Charles Leclerc and Sergio Perez and he's
01:54still waiting it's Max Verstappen what is happening down at Red Bull the kings of the sub two second pit
02:00stop
02:00they'll be lucky if that's sub 10 seconds no 11 seconds on the grid for Max Verstappen
02:06Norris was ahead of Hamilton who's got past him on the road and in in the swing of about half
02:12a minute
02:12this championship race has been blown wide open all again Hamilton now does come in to the pits
02:20is a little bit slow as well but not half as slow as it was for Max Verstappen 4.2
02:25seconds Hamilton comes
02:27out onto the race track now and is he going to be ahead of Lando Norris that's the big key
02:33no he's not
02:34and there's Max Verstappen right behind Hamilton into the first chicane once again it's wheel to
02:39wheel Hamilton and Verstappen and this time Verstappen and Hamilton have crashed out and they are both out
02:45as Hamilton came from his pit stop rejoined the race track Lando Norris was ahead and in their desperation
02:53to stay ahead and to get ahead the two championship protagonists have taken each other out of the
02:59Italian Grand Prix did Verstappen have enough space in the initial part of that chicane and then did he
03:06try and get a bit cheeky in the second part Max hasn't done anything wrong there Max's car hit the
03:11rollover hoop of Lewis's car that's where the damage has come from he hits the sausage curb as well that's
03:17what throws him back into the path of Lewis and then up into the air when his car makes contact
03:22with
03:22the Mercedes as round the parabolica we come going very wide again Lando Norris but that gets him a
03:29straight line and an earlier straight line down the straight as they all try and break the toe
03:33and weaving about a bit is Daniel Ricciardo Valtteri Bottas is making a move on Carlos Sainz
03:38Lando Norris is making a move on Charles Leclerc Ricardo leads into turn one Leclerc and Norris they make
03:43contact but Charles Leclerc keeps that second place behind them come Sergio Perez then Carlos
03:49Sainz and Valtteri Bottas sixth place for Bottas then Stroll Alonso Russell and Latifi and now
03:55watching through the curva grande brilliant move from Lando Norris who's ahead of Charles Leclerc
04:01it's McLaren one two and Monza after the safety car Sergio Perez trying to move on Charles Leclerc is
04:09into the De La Roja chicane we go Perez goes over the rumble strips and bounces back onto the track
04:15ahead of the Ferrari who's coming at him into the two Lesmos he needs to give that place back to
04:19the Ferrari Sergio Perez has been given a five second time penalty he didn't leave me any room
04:25Mick Schumacher spun around after making contact with his teammate Nikita Mazepin
04:32Valtteri Bottas got one Ferrari on the previous lap he's going to go and try and get a second Ferrari
04:37on this particular lap Leclerc breaks a lot later and maintains his advantage stays ahead of Bottas
04:43but immediately unlike Perez yesterday gives the place to Valtteri Bottas he can't leave the track
04:49and gain the lasting advantage so he immediately gave that place back but he's fighting it now
04:53with Valtteri Bottas just ahead into the De La Roja chicane breaks later and holds on to that fourth place
05:00two McLarens out in front Ricciardo and Norris and here comes Valtteri Bottas for another battle with a Ferrari
05:06Charles Leclerc is behind him as they go in to the first chicane
05:12Sergio Perez locks up Valtteri Bottas is thinking about a move
05:16we've seen Red Bull and Mercedes come a cropper at that corner before and Bottas backs out of it
05:21Bottas is trying to get through here past the curva grande we go he's ahead going into De La Roja
05:26chicane
05:27can he make it stick Perez is going to fight him back on the exit he went deep Valtteri Bottas
05:32thought he had the move Perez let him go knew he got a bit too deep and then took that
05:37third place
05:38back again he left Red Bull he went to Renault he's gone to McLaren he's going to get the victory
05:43now
05:44it's McLaren and Ricciardo that win the Italian Grand Prix Lando Norris comes home to make it a 1-2
