It's Saturday, September 5 and it's almost time for the Italian GP in Monza. Mercedes ace George Russell certainly has his tail up having finished fastest in Free Practice 2. He pipped Charles Leclerc of Ferrari and team-mate and F1 Championship leader Kimi Antonelli, who has to start at the back of the grid after taking an engine change.

Lewis Hamilton has asked Ferrari to prioritise his fading title bid over team-mate Charles Leclerc. He also slammed the team's execution after an underwhelming qualifying for their home race at Monza. Leclerc will start third, one place ahead of Hamilton, but only after a grid penalty dropped Oscar Piastri below them.
