Max Verstappen has won the Italian Grand Prix and already has ten victories in a row. Sergio Pérez finished second, followed by Carlos Sainz, who got his first podium of the season. The man from Madrid was one place ahead of his teammate, Charles Leclerc, who put pressure on him during the last few laps. Fernando Alonso gained one position and was ninth, in a race that had been delayed after Yuki Tsunoda had to retire on the formation lap. After that, the competition proceeded as normal.
