Overview
- Kimi Antonelli mounted a recovery from near the back of the grid to win the Italian Grand Prix at Monza on Sunday, overtaking George Russell in the closing stages to take first place.
- Charles Leclerc crashed heavily at the Parabólica early in the race, forcing a red flag; he walked away from the car and was reported uninjured after track medical checks.
- Alpine showed strong pace at Monza with Pierre Gasly on pole and Franco Colapinto running as high as third after the restart, but Colapinto went off at Lesmo, fell to around 16th and then fought back to finish ninth.
- The FIA issued a pre‑race reprimand to Colapinto for not following a race‑director instruction during reconnaissance laps, and Formula 2 stewards opened an investigation into Nicolás Varrone's contact with Rafael Câmara that left his sprint result provisional.
- Teams warned that Monza's high‑speed layout magnified straight‑line power differences, a point Fernando Alonso used to publicly criticize Aston Martin's power‑unit and battery performance and to call for technical work on engine deficits.
