F1 Qualifying Today: Italian Grand Prix 2025 start time, TV channel and FREE live stream

The all-important Italian Grand Prix F1 qualifying session gets underway TODAY (Saturday, September 6), with Monza playing host to a high-speed battle for pole position.

Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri will resume their championship fight, while Max Verstappen will hope to spring a surprise and claim his fifth pole of the season.

Elsewhere, Lewis Hamilton will be taking part in his first competitive session at the Italian GP as a Ferrari driver, with the tifosi cheering on their seven-time world champion signing for the first time.

Both Hamilton and his team-mate Charles Leclerc are under immense pressure to perform at Monza, but Hamilton's five-place grid penalty carried over from last weekend's Dutch GP means that a best-case scenario after qualifying will be sixth for the 40-year-old.

Kimi Antonelli takes part in his second home race in his rookie season in the sport, with optimism high within the Mercedes ranks that they can challenge the McLarens for pole position.
