F1 heads to Monza and the home of the tifosi for the 2025 Italian Grand Prix this weekend.

The race weekend will be Lewis Hamilton's first home race at the iconic track with Ferrari, but a fairytale podium may be a distant dream.

After failing to slow under double waved yellows at Zandvoort last time out, Hamilton received a five-place grid penalty and will serve the drop for Sunday's race.

Meanwhile, McLaren's Lando Norris was dealt a major blow to his championship at the Dutch GP, where an engine failure forced him to retire.

Heading into Monza, Norris is now 34 points behind Oscar Piastri, who is in the lead of the drivers' championship.

However, anything can happen at the Italian GP, and with nine rounds still left to play for in the 2025 campaign, Norris isn't out of the title race yet!

Here is how you can watch the 2025 Italian Grand Prix from wherever you are!
