Saturday at Monza saw Max Verstappen take a brilliant pole position for Sunday's F1 Italian Grand Prix, and here are all the details to help you watch along.

The Dutchman set the single fastest lap in F1 history to grab the first spot on the grid, averaging a staggering 164.484mph around the historic Italian track.

With Verstappen's Red Bull looking uncharacteristically quick, McLaren title contenders Norris and Oscar Piastri had to settle for lining up P2 and P3 respectively for the main event.

Home heroes Ferrari have their work cut out for them in front of the tifosi thanks to a P5 qualification for Lewis Hamilton, which will be converted into a P10 position on the starting grid thanks to a five-place penalty hanging over from last weekend's Dutch GP.

Charles Leclerc, on the other hand, is only starting from the second row having qualified P4, but fans of the Scuderia shouldn't lose hope just yet given that Leclerc managed to turn his P4 starting position into a victory at last year's race.
