00:01It's lights out and away we go, it's a good reaction from Charles Leclerc, it's a better reaction from George
00:06Russell though
00:07and Russell already alongside that Ferrari with Daniel Ricciardo ahead of Pierre Gasly and Norris has lost places
00:13into the first corner we go, Charles Leclerc ahead of George Russell who gets pinched and has to go over
00:17the rumble strips
00:18comes back on behind the Ferrari and also going off Joe Guanyu and Kevin Magnussen
00:23the crowd roaring as the Ferrari leads them through the Curva Grande
00:27and that's Max Verstappen right on the tail of Pierre Gasly in the AlphaTauri
00:31towards the next chicane we come now, Charles Leclerc leads George Russell leads Daniel Ricciardo, Pierre Gasly
00:36Max Verstappen on the inside, Fernando Alonso and Lando Norris right by him
00:41as they make their way through that chicane without too much trouble
00:44and Lando Norris is looking out the window, the country box just bogged down and I think he went into
00:48anti-stroll
00:49went nowhere away from the start and is trying to recover that immediately
00:53and already Fernando Alonso getting a bit bogged down behind Lando Norris too
00:57there's Nick De Vries ahead of the Alfa Romeo of Joe Guanyu as into the Ascari chicane we go
01:03with Charles Leclerc from George Russell from Daniel Ricciardo and there is Max Verstappen up into fourth place
01:08he started seventh, we're not even at the end of the first lap, he's already made up three places
01:13here comes Max Verstappen on Daniel Ricciardo, that Red Bull has straight line speed and he's showing it to great
01:20effect
01:20didn't really need the slipstream, he's already side by side with Daniel Ricciardo late on the brakes into that chicane
01:26Max Verstappen is up into the podium places
01:30the Parabolica not easy to follow close to the car in front even with the changes in downforce and turbulent
01:35air this season
01:3735 meters it was, Verstappen is gaining, is gaining, it's down to under 20 meters, it's down now to absolute
01:43level
01:44pegging through the chicane we go, Max Verstappen is ahead of George Russell and he has put that Red Bull
01:49up into second place
01:53there goes Carlos Sainz on the Aston Martin of Sebastian Vettel wants the Ferrari darling here at Monza
01:59this weekend racing here for a final time and being overtaken by the Ferrari
02:0411th place now for Carlos Sainz who is moving through the field very nicely indeed
02:09further ahead there's a bit of a DRS train, there's one Aston Martin before the Parabolica
02:13and there's one Aston Martin before the chicane
02:16the carriage towards the rear is Carlos Sainz and Sainz has got a bit more straight line speed than some
02:21and as you can see he is quickly closing down Fernando Alonso
02:24and this is going to get a big round of applause from the Tafosi here
02:28because Carlos Sainz is putting on something of a wonder show for Ferrari fans this afternoon
02:34Vettel who has found a gap but in the arm coat to stop his car by
02:39he is out of this race and there's an Aston Martin stranded by the track
02:43Stop the car please when it's safe, stop the car when it's safe
02:46So will they consider putting out a safety car which will then mean we get a lot of pit stops
02:51Here goes Carlos Sainz on Pierre Gasly
02:54Sainz meanwhile puts his Ferrari into the top five and there's a virtual safety car
03:00just a fraction of a second after he pulled off that overtake the virtual safety car has been deployed
03:05So Leclerc's coming in Ted and Mercedes are waiting for George Russell
03:10George Russell is making his way down the main straight so they've done the opposite as it's now green flag
03:16So Charles Leclerc will come out in third place
03:21Now he's going to have to babysit those a little bit to the end of the Grand Prix
03:25As Sainz comes through on Ricciardo
03:27And you can hear how much the fans are loving Carlos Sainz's action this afternoon
03:32Fourth place now for Carlos Sainz
03:35George Russell will be interesting now
03:37Because I don't see anybody out there really going that fast on the hard compound tyre
03:42And it's mediums that have gone on to who was the leader Max Verstappen
03:47Very difficult to follow closely behind the car in front
03:50And he's going to have to make up those tenths of a second once more
03:53With a bit of help from DRS down the main straight
03:55He seems to have got a really good exit out of the Parabolica
03:59And as you can see is gaining on the Alpine
04:01Now he's gaining, he's gaining, is he going to go for it down the inside?
04:04Lewis Hamilton is
04:05And before they apply the brakes into that first chicane
04:09Lewis Hamilton is ahead and up into sixth place
04:13In for the soft tyres, he comes back out onto the track
04:16Max Verstappen leads once again this race
04:202.6 seconds
04:21There is George Russell in the distance
04:24Charles Leclerc comes out then ahead of George Russell
04:28He's back out onto the track Lando Norris
04:30Now is he going to stay ahead of his teammate Daniel Ricciardo?
04:34He's going to slot in hopefully for McLaren ahead of Pierre Gasly
04:37This is really really tight
04:39Gasly goes through
04:40And Lando Norris loses a place there to Gasly
04:43And Lewis Hamilton on the scene says
04:45Thank you very much, I've got new soft tyres
04:47I've got a lot more grip
04:48I'll get past Lando Norris and Pierre Gasly
04:50Dispatched earlier in that, or the previous lap
04:53Nick De Vries and Hamilton now up into seventh
04:57Motoring along quite nicely
05:00Daniel Ricciardo under pressure
05:02From Lewis Hamilton
05:03Hamilton up into sixth
05:05Norris has got ahead of Pierre Gasly
05:08Leclerc finally switched on those soft compound tyres
05:11And there goes Lando Norris
05:13Past his teammate Daniel Ricciardo
05:15And up into seventh place
05:17And the Haas hasn't quite got the speed there
05:20Down the straights to try and get past the Williams
05:22But under braking Schumacher locks up
05:24Trying to force his way through
05:26Gets very aggressive through that chicane
05:29But in a very nice way
05:30Mick Schumacher locked up
05:32Looked to have lost control a little bit
05:34But he absolutely kept control
05:36And he makes the place
05:37Yeah, it was good
05:38And he locked the wheel
05:39But he cranked some steering lock into it
05:41And, but immediately gets repassed
05:43But cranks some steering lock
05:45And the car obediently turned into
05:47What's a very tight corner
05:48And this battle is going to continue on
05:50Latifi got ahead
05:52And into the Lesmos
05:53Mick Schumacher just gives it
05:55A little wiggle of the rear
05:56And during that wiggle
05:58Forces the Haas
05:59Past Nicolas Latifi
06:01Daniel Ricciardo got a problem
06:03Yes he has
06:04I lost the engine
06:04I think Lewis Hamilton retired
06:06At that very point
06:07Now we are going to get
06:08A safety car
06:10And we will finish the race
06:12Behind the safety car
06:13Come on
06:16It's clear, come on
06:18Yeah, copy
06:19It's a fifth consecutive win
06:21For Max Verstappen
06:22Behind the safety car
06:23He wins
06:24The Italian Grand Prix
06:26He will stand on the podium
06:27At Monza
06:28For the first time
06:29In his Formula One career
06:31Very lovely mate
06:33Great race set again
06:34It finished behind the safety car
06:36It perhaps was an unsatisfactory ending
06:39For many as we like to see action
06:41All the way to the chequered flag
06:43But Red Bull and Max Verstappen
06:45Won't mind that at all
06:46It's another win
06:47On their seemingly unstoppable march
06:49To a world title
06:51F préfet
06:51To
06:51Ma
