Red Bull\u2019s Max Verstappen won the Italian Grand Prix, the 14th round of the 2023 Formula 1 World Championship, at Monza.
Following a delayed start when Yuki Tsunoda’s AlphaTauri broke down on the warm-up lap, polewinner Sainz led the charge to Turn 1 in a shortened race of 51 laps.
Verstappen launched his first attack for the lead around the outside of the Rettifilo chicane on lap six but Sainz repelled him. Perez began to probe Russell’s defences on lap eight for fourth, drawing alongside three laps later but still unable to find a way past. Perez hunted down Leclerc, who pitted on lap 21, as Red Bull covered Sainz’s stop with Verstappen too. That allowed Perez to lead, until he stopped a lap later.
With 20 laps to go, Verstappen extended his lead to over 6s as Sainz toiled to hold off Leclerc and Perez. Hamilton passed Fernando Alonso’s Aston Martin at Rettifilo for ninth. Perez caught Sainz and began to attack him with 10 laps remaining. Perez was forced to take to the Rettifilo escape road two laps later, and again on lap 45.
