00:00Five lights on ahead of the drivers, it's lights out and away we go, they weren't held for long

00:04and Verstappen does get away well, alongside him is Daniel Ricciardo and Ricciardo is inching into the lead,

00:09Daniel Ricciardo will have the inside line here, ahead of Max Verstappen, Hamilton has gone away well too,

00:14it's Ricciardo into the first chicane ahead of Verstappen, Hamilton on the outside of Lando Norris,

00:19Giovinazzi's made up a place past Carlos Sainz and he's now battling with Charles Leclerc as to the

00:24curva grande we go. That was perfect for Hamilton, straight up into third place, went around the

00:28outside of turn two, he's directly behind his championship rival, indeed he's alongside him.

00:34And Hamilton and Verstappen go into the second chain and a chicane and Hamilton goes off onto the

00:39rumble strips and it's fourth wide and he might lose a place here to Lando Norris as Antonio Giovinazzi

00:45has spun round and loses his front wing. As we look back to the Della Roger chicane and not for the

00:50first time in a chicane this season, wheel contact between Verstappen and Hamilton.

00:55Oh, so he's gone straight across the chicane then and somebody's presumably to his left at that point.

01:00Oh yeah, so this is what happened, Giovinazzi comes back on the track in an unsafe manner.

01:06Hamilton with a bit of DRS here as Norris tries to break the toe, he's going to go for a move,

01:10under braking, Lando Norris just squeezes Lewis Hamilton to the far left-hand side and very gently and

01:17very subtly there stop Hamilton from making a risky move but Hamilton's going to come back at him,

01:22not just through the Curva Grande but towards the Della Roger chicane and Hamilton on the inside has

01:27got enough of a gap there, has he got the pace in a straight fight with Norris, not on this occasion,

01:31Norris under braking, holds on to that third place. Esteban Ocon and Sebastian Vettel going into the Della

01:38Roger chicane. Misdemeanor there from Ocon, Vettel's front axle was beyond the rear axle of the Alpine at

01:47one point. So Lando Norris takes the lead, Lewis Hamilton in second, then comes Charles Leclerc and

01:53Sergio Perez and he's still waiting, it's Max Verstappen, what is happening? Down at Red Bull,

01:58the kings of the sub two second pit stop, they'll be lucky if that's sub 10 seconds, no, 11 seconds on the

02:04grid for Max Verstappen. Norris was ahead of Hamilton who's got past him on the road and in in the swing

02:11of about half a minute this championship race has been blown wide open all again. Hamilton now does

02:18come in to the pits, is a little bit slow as well but not half as slow as it was for Max Verstappen,

02:244.2 seconds. Hamilton comes out onto the race track now and is he going to be ahead of Lando Norris,

02:32that's the big key, no he's not and there's Max Verstappen right behind Hamilton into the first

02:37chicane once again it's wheel to wheel Hamilton and Verstappen and this time Verstappen and Hamilton

02:42have crashed out and they are both out as Hamilton came from his pit stop, rejoined the race track,

02:50Lando Norris was ahead and in their desperation to stay ahead and to get ahead the two championship

02:56protagonists have taken each other out of the Italian Grand Prix. Did Verstappen have enough space

03:03in the initial part of that chicane and then did he try and get a bit cheeky in the second part? Max

03:09hasn't done anything wrong there. Max's car hit the rollover hoop of Lewis's car, that's where the

03:14damage has come from. He hits the sausage curb as well, that's what throws him back into the path of

03:18Lewis and then up into the air when his car makes contact with the Mercedes. As round the parabolica

03:25we come, going very wide again Lando Norris but that gets him a straight line and an earlier straight

03:31line down the straight as they all try and break the toe and weaving about a bit is Daniel Ricciardo,

03:35Valtteri Bottas is making a move on Carlos Sainz, Lando Norris is making a move on Charles Leclerc,

03:40Ricciardo leads into turn one, Leclerc and Norris they make contact but Charles Leclerc keeps that second

03:46place, behind them comes Sergio Perez then Carlos Sainz and Valtteri Bottas. Sixth place for Bottas

03:52then Stroll, Alonso, Russell and Latifi and now watching through the curva grande, brilliant move

03:58from Lando Norris who's ahead of Charles Leclerc, it's McLaren 1-2 and Monza after the safety car. Sergio

04:07Perez trying to move on Charles Leclerc is into the De La Roja chicane we go, Perez goes over the

04:12rumble strips and bounces back onto the track ahead of the Ferrari who's coming at him into the two

04:17Lesmos. He needs to give that place back to the Ferrari. Sergio Perez has been given a five second

04:23time penalty. He didn't leave me any room. Mick Schumacher spun around after making contact with his

04:29teammate Nikita Mazepin. Valtteri Bottas got one Ferrari on the previous lap, he's gonna go and try and get a

04:36second Ferrari on this particular lap. Leclerc brakes a lot later and maintains his advantage, stays

04:42ahead of Bottas but immediately, unlike Perez yesterday, gives the place to Valtteri Bottas.

04:48He can't leave the track and gain the lasting advantage so he immediately gave that place back

04:52but he's fighting it now with Valtteri Bottas just ahead into the De La Roja chicane, brakes later and

04:58holds on to that fourth place. Two McLarens out in front, Ricciardo and Norris and here comes Valtteri Bottas for

05:05another battle with a Ferrari. Charles Leclerc is behind him as they go in to the first chicane.

05:12Sergio Perez locks up, Valtteri Bottas is thinking about a move. We've seen Red Bull and Mercedes come

05:18a cropper at that corner before and Bottas backs out of it. Bottas is trying to get through here,

05:23past the Curva Grande we go, he's ahead, going into the De La Roja chicane, can he make it stick?

05:28Perez is going to fight him back on the exit, he went deep Valtteri Bottas, thought he had the move,

05:33Perez let him go, knew he got a bit too deep and then took that third place back again.

05:38He left Red Bull, he went to Renault, he's gone to McLaren, he's going to get the victory now,

05:44it's McLaren and Ricciardo that win the Italian Grand Prix. Lando Norris comes home to make it a 1-2 for

05:52the men from Woking. Sergio Perez comes home to take third on the road but he drops down to fifth because of

05:59that five second time penalty. Bottas on the podium for an eighth time this season ahead of Leclerc,

06:06Sainz, Stroll, Alonso, Russell and Ocon complete the top 10, start the celebrations for McLaren,

06:13Ricciardo's done it!

06:20He won! But he did it!

06:33Daniel Ricciardo has returned to the top step

06:36of the podium in a dramatic race here this afternoon in the sunshine of Monza. The sparkling

06:43wine is sprayed around by Bottas, by Norris and Ricciardo. It's a McLaren 1-2,

06:49the championship 1-2 failed to finish.
