Max Verstappen took a dominant victory at Monza, but who were the winners and losers behind him?

Verstappen storms to Monza victory with record pace as McLaren duel simmers, Ferrari rebounds, and the Tifosi roar in the Temple of Speed.

On the surface, Monza is best known for being one of the most historic tracks in Formula One, and for the excitement it brings on a yearly basis. Actually, a hidden gem of a fact is it's uncanny tendency to either cause ache or jubilation for those at the top of the title race.

McLaren’s Monza team orders were met with a range of varying opinions, but how does the situation compare to Hungary 2024 and what does this mean for the team’s future?

Max Verstappen wins the fastest F1 race ever, McLaren’s teamwork fuels debate, Ferrari rebound, and Mercedes struggle. Here are five takeaways from the Italian Grand Prix.

Max Verstappen took his third win of the season at the Italian Grand Prix in a lights-to-flag victory, followed by Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri who awkwardly swapped positions late in the race after a slow stop for Norris.

The Tifosi will hope that their adopted son will be able to deliver an indentical performance at Monza to what he did last year, given the exact same starting position.

Isack Hadjar fell foul of the gravel twice on his run in Q1, and much to his dismay what he felt was some unnessecary behaviour from Carlos Sainz.

Max Verstappen showed everyone why he remains the class of the field after a mighty effort to clinch pole from the two McLarens and home favourites, Ferrari. Lando Norris starts second ahead of Oscar Piastri, with Charles Leclerc joining the second row for Sunday's race.

The F2 grid returned to racing action at Monza, but it was status quo at the head of the field, as championship leader Leonardo Fornaroli took his fourth race win of 2025, holding off the charging Campos of Arvid Lindblad in a fight to the final lap on home soil.

After taking his maiden Formula 2 pole in a stop-start qualifying session in Monza, Hitech TGR racer Luke Browning believed he hadn’t quite extracted the maximum pace from his car during the 30-minute session that featured three red flag stoppages. 

Ferrari lit up Monza in front of the Tifosi with a Hamilton–Leclerc 1–2 in opening practice, but McLaren struck back in FP2 as Lando Norris topped the timesheets. With Red Bull struggling for outright pace and Mercedes showing flashes of promise, Friday’s running set the stage for a fiercely contested Italian Grand Prix.

Lando Norris ends Friday practice on top, but the gap to his rivals is small.

Nothing could have prepared Van Amersfoort Racing’s John Bennett for the next step in his racing career. When his compatriots on the 2025 Formula 2 grid were all taking part in Monza’s Formula 3 or Formula 2 weekends, Bennett found himself spending his weekend in a soaking wet GB3 race at Donington Park. 

Formula 3 will head into the sunset as the season comes to a close at Monza, but the championship battle for Formula 2 only continues at the highest intensity, with five in contention as the series returns from the summer break, with four weekends to go. DIVEBOMB brings to you all the details ahead of a crucial three days of racing in Monza. 

Formula One heads to Monza for the 75th time this weekend, with the title picture looking much clearer after the Dutch Grand Prix. Can Lando Norris bounce back?

One of the spectacles on MotoGP’s illustrious calendar; MotoGP heads to the Ducati dreamland of Mugello for round nine of the championship; for the Italian Grand Prix. No other manufacturer dares to challenge the Ducati hierarchy here in Tuscany; but will 2025 be the year to change that?

Charles Leclerc took victory for the second time in his career at Monza, going from fourth to pole, beating the McLaren duo and the odds.
