2022 Italian Grand Prix

16h

This is the end of this live text from the Italian Grand Prix. Thank you for joining us and see you in 3 weeks in Singapore. A very good Sunday to all !

T53

With this 11th victory of the season, Verstappen is now 116 points ahead of Leclerc. He could be crowned in two Grands Prix for Japan

T53

11th victory for Verstappen this season followed by Leclerc and Russell. Sainz and Hamilton complete the Top 5 followed by Pérez, Norris, Gasly, De Vries and Zhou. Great performance from De Vries who scores 2 points for his first F1 Grand Prix

T52

It's confirmed. The race will end behind the safety car and under the whistles of the fans. It will therefore be victory for Verstappen ahead of Leclerc who was unable to attempt an attack on the Batavian… Terrible blow for the Scuderia at home

T52

There are still some latecomers between Verstappen and Leclerc as we enter the penultimate lap. It shouldn't go back to Monza...

T50

It's very slow on the track, Ricciardo's car is still stopped at Lesmo. Unless there is a red flag, the Grand Prix may not be restarted…

T48

Verstappen and Leclerc come to the pits! The two men come out in soft rubber. The end of this Grand Prix promises to be lively! What if the Monegasque finally had a new chance to seek victory?

T47

Ricciardo stopped at Lesmo, the Safety Car enters the track! At Ferrari we stop Sainz, what about Leclerc? Same at Red Bull for Verstappen…

T45

Leclerc's hopes of victory at Monza are over. The Monegasque is 17 seconds behind Verstappen and is no longer coming back… Hard blow for “il Predestinato”

T43

Pérez called back by the low wall for a 2nd stop. At Red Bull, we are looking to take the point for the best lap in the race currently held by… Leclerc. Soft tires for the Mexican who should be able to carry out his mission without great difficulty

T41

Double retirement at Aston Martin forced to ask Stroll to return to his garage due to a problem with the brakes. Concerning Alonso, it is a hydraulic problem in the water system

T39

Certainly he put together the best laps in the race but Leclerc did not catch up on Verstappen quickly enough to hope to attack him before the end of the race. For the moment, the Monegasque is gaining between 2 and 4 tenths per lap. He might run out of time after all...

T36

Two birds with one stone for Hamilton who took advantage of Norris' attempt to overtake Gasly to move from 9th to 7th position. Great move from the Englishman

T36

For the moment, Leclerc is not going back to Verstappen. The Monegasque was 3 tenths slower than his rival during the last lap

T33

Plan C confirmed for Leclerc who returns to the pit lane and puts on soft tires. He came out 2nd, 20 seconds behind Verstappen.

T31

Alonso called to his stand… to retire. Reliability problem on its Alpine and end of the series of 10 consecutive Grands Prix in the points for the Spaniard…

T30

No panic at Ferrari for Sainz this time. The Spaniard restarts on soft tires after a stop made in 2″3. He is 8th behind Pérez. Be careful, however, of the possible penalty because the Madrilenian blocked his wheels just before the entry line

T29

New best lap in the race for Verstappen in 1'24″829. He took back almost 8 tenths from Leclerc

T29

As we have just passed the halfway mark, here is the ranking for the Italian Grand Prix

T27

1'25″012 for Verstappen who sets the best lap in the race. He has just taken a second back from Leclerc who is 8″8 ahead
