The 2024 Formula 1 season continues with the last European race of the season at the Italian Grand Prix in Monza.
Lando Norris made the perfect start after the summer break with a dominant victory at Zandvoort to reduce his championship deficit to 70 points against Max Verstappen.
Verstappen hasn't won the last five races, his longest winless run since 2020, and Red Bull are coming under increasing pressure from McLaren.

In the Constructors' Championship, McLaren are only 30 points behind Red Bull, with Ferrari a further 34 points adrift.
Ferrari will be hoping to do something special in front of the passionate home crowd, known as the Tifosi. Monza will be a sea of red as the spectators watch the drivers fly by at over 200mph on the straights.
