Kimi Antonelli dealt a hammer blow to his F1 title rivals with an incredible Italian Grand Prix victory on a day of abject misery for Ferrari at Monza.

The 20-year-old Italian star roared through the field after starting P19 to overtake team-mate George Russell on Lap 50 of 53 at the 'Temple of Speed'.

Meanwhile the iconic Italian team had a disastrous day with Charles Leclerc crashing out heavily on Lap 3 while Lewis Hamilton could manage only sixth position.

Four-time world champion Max Verstappen produced a terrific drive to claim the final spot on the podium, followed by the McLaren pair Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri.

Hamilton claimed sixth with surprise pole sitter Pierre Gasly of Alpine in seventh and Racing Bulls prodigy Arvid Lindblad eighth. Gasly's team-mate Franco Colapinto was P9 with the final point claimed by Yuki Tsunoda of Racing Bulls.
