Overview

• Verstappen took pole, led all 51 laps and set fastest lap to seal his sixth career grand slam, equalling Lewis Hamilton and moving two behind Jim Clark.
• The official FIA classification confirmed Verstappen P1, George Russell P2 and Carlos Sainz P3, with Oscar Piastri classified DNF and handed a five‑second jump‑start penalty under the 2025 rules that no longer award a fastest-lap point.
• The win narrows Verstappen’s deficit to championship leader Piastri to 69 points with seven rounds and three sprints remaining, leaving 199 points available.
• McLaren’s race unraveled as Piastri crashed on lap one after a jump start and anti-stall issue, while Lando Norris was limited to P7 by a slow pit stop and time in traffic, trimming only six points from the lead.
• Red Bull’s new floor introduced at Monza is credited with restoring balance and pace as back‑to‑back wins followed, while Yuki Tsunoda claimed P6 for his best result since joining Red Bull and Liam Lawson finished P5.
