F1 Italian GP 2024: Updated schedule and timings

Lando Norris won the last race by a margin of 22.896 seconds

The Dutch Grand Prix was nothing less than a rollercoaster ride with Lando Norris dominating Max Verstappen on his home soil. Lando crossed the checkered flag with a victory margin of 22.896 sec, making it the largest winning gap of this season.

Lando’s win at the Dutch GP has stirred up the F1 industry and the championship speculations. The McLaren driver now stands in second place with 225 points, which makes him 77 points behind Verstappen.

The changing dynamics of this season’s grid is what will make the upcoming Italian GP even more interesting.

F1 heads to Monza for the weekend

Now for the upcoming Italian GP 2024, F1 is all set to move to the circuit of Monza for the weekend race. Monza has been one of the favourable grounds for Red Bull for the past two years, but their performance lately has posed some serious concerns within the Red Bull fandom.

However, Ferrari could steal the spotlight in Italy, with thousands of Tifosi expected to cheer on them, especially after Charles’ podium finish at the Dutch Grand Prix last weekend.

But let’s also not deviate from the fierce battle and the closing gap between McLaren and Red Bull. 

The upcoming weekend race will also be Andrea Kimi Antonelli and Franco Colapinto’s debut race. Antonelli is all set for his Mercedes debut, replacing George Russell for the first practice session. Antonelli is also the Mercedes driver who is likely to replace Lewis Hamilton after his transfer to Ferrari.

Franco Colapinto will replace Logan Sargeant at Williams for the rest of 2024 after a disappointing weekend at Zandvoort. This makes him the first Argentinian in F1 since 2001.
