Italian Grand Prix: preview

The Tifosi are in full voice at Monza today, with Carlos Sainz on pole and Charles Leclerc starting from the third slot on the grid at the Temple of Speed. Positioned ominously in between the men in red is Max Verstappen, who's one race victory away from setting a new F1 record. It's lights out for the Italian Grand Prix at 2pm BST today.

All that Ferrari have had to show for this season is three podium finishes for Leclerc, but they won't mind one jot if one of their drivers manages to best Verstappen at Monza. When Ferrari are performing well there's no place quite like it, with its rich racing history and near-religious dedication to the prancing horse. 

If Sainz or Leclerc can pull it out of the bag today, the celebrations could top the race itself.

But that's a big 'if'. Verstappen has the chance to set a brand new record for the most F1 race victories in a row. Last weekend, the flying Dutchman matched the current record of nine on the bounce, which was set by Sebastian Vettel a decade ago, and this history-making opportunity may never come around again.
