In Monza, Max Verstappen will start from pole position for the eleventh time in his career. Behind him, we will find Daniel Ricciardo et Lando Norris. After a disappointing Dutch Grand Prix, both drivers McLaren managed yesterday's sprint race perfectly to find themselves on the first and second row.
Second on the starting grid for the sprint race, Lewis Hamilton will only start 4th for the GP. The British driver finds himself surrounded between the two McLaren drivers and the two drivers Ferrari, since Charles Leclerc et Carlos Sainz Jr are placed in 5th and 6th position. Sergio Perez (8e) Lance stroll (9e) and Fernando Alonso (10th) complete the top 10.
Yet leader in the Sprint Race, Valtteri Bottas will be positioned last on the starting grid. The Finn received a penalty after fitting a 4th engine to his W12 while the allowance was only 3. Victim of an accident during the sprint race, Pierre Gasly will start from the pit lane.
The start of the Grand Prix will be given at 15:00 p.m. and will be followed in live text on Autohebdo.fr.
