Red Bull driver Max Verstappen achieved a historic victory at the Italian Grand Prix at Monza, recording the fastest race in the history of the Formula 1 World Championship with a time of 1 hour, 13 minutes, and 24.325 seconds, with an astonishing average speed of 250.706 km/h.

Despite starting from pole position, Verstappen fell behind Lando Norris at the beginning of the race, before regaining the lead and extending his advantage to 19.2 seconds, achieving his third victory of the season and the 66th of his career.

Charles Leclerc of Ferrari came in fourth, followed by George Russell from Mercedes in fifth, while Lewis Hamilton finished sixth in his first race at the circuit as a Ferrari driver.
