2025 F1 Italian GP: Where to watch, timings, all you need to know

The F1 circus will return to racing action to host the annual Italian GP after a chaotic restart to the 2025 season at the Dutch Grand Prix last weekend. The iconic Monza has been a mainstay on the F1 calendar since the first year of sport.

Last weekend's race at Zandvoort may prove to be a pivotal point in the driver's championship this year, as Oscar Piastri converted yet another pole position to a race victory while his teammate and championship rival, Lando Norris, was unable to finish the race owing to an oil leak failure during the race.

The Brit was chasing down his Aussie rival when his car broke down in the final phase of the race and left him resigned to his fate. With nine races and three Sprints remaining, the 25-year-old will hope to drive the MCL39 without any pressure for the coming weekends and display his racing skills to the fans.

Norris has always gone well at the Italian GP and finished on the podium twice in 2021 and 2024, with P2 being his best finish on the track. While the rest of the field, including Ferrari, would hope to stop McLaren drivers winning yet another race in the 2025 season.
