The final part of Formula 1’s latest trip💫le-header tak🎀es us to Monza for the Italian Grand Prix.

Home of the Tifosi and Ferrari, the Italian GP is a fan favourite for its atmosphere and iconic circuꦕit.

Max Verstappen heads to Italy with a three-point lead over Lewis Hamilto🍃n after winning on home soil last time out at Zandvoort.

Red Bull hasn’t won at Monza since 2013 so it will be a go𒀰od gauge of the F1 pecking order as it stands.

Like at&♏nbsp;Silverstone, qualifying will take place on Friday, with F1's sprint race on Saturday afterno💛on.

What to expect from this weekend?

෴Pirelli has nominated 🅰the C2, C3 and C4 tyres for this weekend's race.

Conditions are e💫xpected to remain dry througho🐼ut the weekend.

Ahead of the weekend, Pirelli's Mario Isola said: “We have seen from the past that a number of different strategies are possible at Monza, and with sprint qualifying adding another big variable into the mix, the teams are forced to re-think their entire tyre strategy for the weekend. It’s a rear-limited circuit with the focus on traction, so the particular challenge is to stop the rear tyres from sliding and overheating too much, as the low-downforce set-up means that there is not much pushing them into the ground. The weather plays a part as well, as this issue is emphasised if temperatures ar🙈e higher.”
