Who won the F1 race today? Full results, standings from 2024 Italian Grand Prix at Monza image

The 2024 Formula One season visits Monza this weekend for the Italian Grand Prix — the 16th race of the year.

Lando Norris was the dominant force last time out in the Netherlands as he qualified on pole before taking the chequered flag ahead of home favourite and championship leader Max Verstappen.

Norris was again quickest in qualifying this weekend as Oscar Piastri made it a front-row lockout for McLaren, with Verstappen starting down in seventh position, one ahead of Red Bull teammate Sergio Perez.

Should the double world champion endue another unsuccessful grand prix here, it could make the final weeks of the season a thrilling watch as Norris attempts to unseat Verstappen from the top of the sport.

Who won the F1 Italian Grand Prix?

Charles Leclerc won the 2024 Italian Grand Prix after a brilliant drive — and a bold gamble from Ferrari — paid off handsomely.

Oscar Piastri claimed second for McLaren, ahead of teammate Lando Norris, the polesitter having dropped from first to third on the opening lap. Norris did at least set the fastest lap to secure a bonus point.

Carlos Sainz finished P4 for Ferrari on his 30th birthday, with Lewis Hamilton in fifth place. Championship leader Max Verstappen crossed the line in sixth, meaning his lead at the top of the drivers' standings stands at 62 points with seven races left.

Leclerc's victory came as Ferrari took a punt on a one-stop strategy, banking on the Monegasque driver to keep the McLarens at bay on deteriorating tyres despite the British team's incredible pace over recent races. Leclerc did just that, crossing the line around 2.6 seconds ahead of Piastri, who looked disconsolate despite a strong drive himself.

"It hurts. I'm not going to lie, it hurts a lot," he said. "I did a lot of things right today. There was a lot of question marks on the strategy going into the race.

"From the position we were in with the tyres looking like they did, doing a one-stop seemed like a very risky call, and in the end it was right.

"Very, very happy with the pace, with the race that I managed to achieve. Just when you finish second it hurts."

For Leclerc, delivering victory for Ferrari in Italy — in the same year he won his home grand prix in Monaco — was a moment to savour.

"It is an incredible feeling," he said. "I thought the second time, if there was a second time, would not feel as special as the first, but the emotions over the last few laps were the same.

"I want to win Monza and Monaco every year and I have managed to do so. It is so, so special."

F1 Italian Grand Prix: Driver of the day

Leclerc's tyre management and composure at the front after Ferrari's Hail Mary strategy was exceptional, but it's hard to overlook the efforts of today's debutant.

Argentine Franco Colapinto finished in P12 for Williams after qualifying down in 18th, highlighting why there is such excitement around the 21-year-old in South America.
