Italian GP Results: Max Verstappen Wins In Monza To Break Incredible Record

The results of the 2023 Italian Grand Prix.

Max Verstappen won the Italian Grand Prix at the iconic Monza circuit, breaking the record for the number of consecutive race wins with ten.

Joining the Red Bull driver on the podium were Sergio Perez and Charles Leclerc who crossed the line in second and third, respectively. 

Things got off to a terrible start for Yuki Tsunoda who ran into a power unit issue during the formation lap ending his race before it even started. 

Carlos Sainz managed to hold off Max Verstappen for fourteen laps before the Red Bull driver took the lead of the race. 

Fans have seen some incredible battles between George Russell and Sergio Perez as well as Liam Lawson, Nico Hulkenberg, and Fernando Alonso. 

Penalty: George Russell was handed a 5 second penalty for leaving the track and gaining an advantage over Esteban Ocon.

Lewis Hamilton and Oscar Piastri collided on lap 42 as the seven-time champion went for the overtake, leaving Piastri with a damaged front nose. The incident will be investigated by the Stewards. 

Esteban Ocon was also forced to retire from the race, although it is not clear what has ended his race. 

Unfortunately that’s the end of Esteban’s day.

He’s back in the garage and out of the car 😔 #Alpine #ItalianGP
