The Dutchman finished ahead of Red Bull teammate Sergio Pérez at Monza, with Ferrari duo Carlos Sainz and Charles Leclerc third and fourth
Max Verstappen won the Italian Grand Prix for Red Bull, completing a record 10th consecutive victory. He swept into the lead at Monza and was untouchable once in front to continue his remarkable run of success in beating his teammate Sergio Pérez into second and the Ferraris of Carlos Sainz and Charles Leclerc into third and fourth. George Russell and Lewis Hamilton were fifth and sixth for Mercedes.
Red Bull now have their 14th successive win of the season, also a record, and with eight races remaining have moved a step closer to doing what was previously considered all but impossible in closing out an entire season undefeated. Sainz had held his lead from Verstappen on the drag into turn one and for the opening laps but when DRS was enabled on lap three, the Dutchman moved to within half a second of the leader. Sainz was in no mood to surrender without a fight and attacked the laps to hold a slender lead. Verstappen made a move at turn one but Sainz refused to yield and pushed him wide. “That was naughty,” Verstappen said, but it was a legitimately robust defence.
