Race Recap

Andrea Kimi Antonelli won the 2026 Italian Grand Prix for Mercedes after starting from P19, which made it one of the more remarkable drives the race has seen in recent years. Pierre Gasly had taken pole for Alpine but didn’t convert it to a win. George Russell crossed the line in second to give Mercedes a one-two, with Max Verstappen completing the podium in third. Charles Leclerc lasted just one lap before retiring, which silenced the tifosi early and Antonelli also set the fastest lap of the race at 1:23.504 to complete a dominant personal performance.

About the Circuit

Autodromo Nazionale Monza is the fastest circuit on the Formula 1 calendar. At 5.793 km per lap with just 11 corners, it’s built almost entirely around flat-out straights and the kind of braking zones that separate the brave from the reckless. Low downforce is the order of the weekend here. Teams strip their cars back as far as the regulations allow and hope the straight-line speed they find is worth the handling they give up.

Monza has been on the calendar for decades and it carries real weight as a venue. The tifosi pack the grandstands for Ferrari above all else, but the crowd responds to good racing regardless of who’s delivering it. The lap record of 1:21.046 was set in 2024, which gives you a sense of the pace this place demands. It’s a circuit that produces memorable races more often than most.
