Kimi Antonelli secured victory at the Italian Grand Prix in Monza on September 6, 2026, overcoming a 19th-place grid start due to an engine penalty. The 20-year-old driver passed his teammate George Russell with three laps remaining to claim the win. This result extends Antonelli’s lead in the drivers' championship to 66 points over Russell, who finished the race in second. Ferrari faced a difficult day at their home event, as Charles Leclerc retired following a high-speed crash at the Parabolica, and Lewis Hamilton finished in sixth position. Pierre Gasly placed seventh after starting the race from pole position, while Arvid Lindblad finished eighth to lead the Racing Bulls.
