Summary
Kimi Antonelli charged from 19th on the grid to win the Italian Grand Prix, a comeback that further tightened his grip on the Formula 1 title race.
A red-flag restart and Mercedes strategy helped open the door, with Antonelli overcoming a deep starting position to beat teammate George Russell and Max Verstappen.
Russell finished second after leading much of the race, while Mercedes completed a one-two at Monza.
The result left Ferrari fans disappointed at home and pushed Antonelli's championship advantage to 66 points, a margin that now looks increasingly decisive.
