53/53
LAP 53/53 - VERSTAPPEN WINS THE RACE
Verstappen goes over the start/finish straight as the safety car comes into the pits to win his fifth straight race, and his 11th of the season. Leclerc finish in 2nd, with George Russell getting the final podium place. The Italian fans are not happy with how this race finished, with some booing coming from the grandstands.
53/53
LAP 53/53 - FINAL LAP
It has been relayed to Leclerc over the radio that the race will finish behind the safety car. He, understandably, is upset about that decision.
51/53
LAP 51/53 - WE MAY FINISH UNDER SAFETY CAR
The machine has come out to tow away the stranded McLaren car, but it is likely that we finish this one behind the safety car with just two laps to go.
49/53
LAP 49/53 - VERSTAPPEN AND LECLERC BOX
Verstappen also comes in for a fresh set of soft tyres under the safety car. Leclerc comes in later in the lap for the same tyres. Will the race resume with four laps left?
48/53
LAP 48/53 - RUSSELL PITS
Russell pits for a fresh set of soft tyres for the last five laps.
47/53
LAP 47/53 - RICCIARDO PULLS OVER!
Ricciardo reports an engine issue and he pulls over by the Lesmo corners. Teams look like they are getting ready in the pits. We have a safety car! This changes everything!
43/53
LAP 43/53 - PEREZ PITS
Perez has finally decided to box again as his hard tyres could go on any longer. He comes in from P5, and he comes back out in P7. He will need to get back past Norris and Hamilton on the track with ten laps remaining.
41/53
LAP 41/53 - VERSTAPPEN'S RACE TO LOSE
It is now Max's race to lose here. Leclerc has not been able to close the gap to the race leader, as it remains at 17 seconds with 11 laps to go.
37/53
LAP 37/53 - GREAT OVERTAKE!
Best overtake of the race so far. Norris pits from P4, but a slow stop by the McLaren mechanics means he fails to clear both his team-mate and Gasly! Hamilton, who is just behind them, capitalises and gets past both Norris and Gasly with one move down into the Curva Grande. Brilliant stuff. He is up into P7.
34/53
LAP 34/53 - LECLERC PITS
Leclerc opts to scrap the one-stop strategy, and he comes in for a set of soft tyres until the end of the Grand Prix. He emerges back out ahead of Russell and is in P2. Verstappen takes the lead of the race, and he is 19 seconds ahead of the Ferrari. Can Leclerc close the gap?
33/53
LAP 33/53 - SAINZ GETS PAST PEREZ
Brilliant overtake from Sainz into the Variante della Roggia to get past Perez. He is now into 5th.
32/53
LAP 32/53 - ALONSO OUT OF THE RACE
The Alpine pit wall tell Alonso over the radio to box in order to retire the car. There seems to be some sort of power unit issue with the car.
31/53
LAP 31/53 - SAINZ PITS
Carlos Sainz makes an interesting strategy call, and fits the soft compound tyre - seemingly until the end of the race. He emerges back out behind Perez and in P8. He will need to overtake him on the track.
30/53
LAP 30/53 - VERSTAPPEN SETS NEW FASTEST LAP
The Red Bull is maintaining his pace on his set of medium tyres. He remains in P2, but the gap to Leclerc ahead of him has now dropped to 7.1 seconds.
27/53
LAP 27/53 - HAMILTON UP INTO P6
Lewis Hamilton gets past Fernando Alonso into Turn 1 with the help of DRS. He is now up to P6. Both of them have still yet to pit, which implies that they are looking to make the one-stop work.
26/53
LAP 26/53 - VERSTAPPEN PITS
The race leader pits for a set of mediums, and he emerges back out in P2, around ten seconds behind Leclerc. Let's see how this stint plays out.
24/53
LAP 24/53 - RUSSELL PITS
George Russell pits from second place, and fits the harder compound tyre. He emerges back out in front of Norris and is now in P4 and in some clean air.
20/53
LAP 20/53 - UNDERCUT DOES NOT WORK FOR GASLY
Ricciardo pits a lap after Gasly, and emerges back out in front of him - the undercut has not worked for AlphaTauri. Ricciardo is now in 12th, with Gasly behind him in 13th.
Sainz, who is in P4 and twelve seconds behind his teammate, is reporting that he is really struggling with his pace.
19/53
LAP 19/53 - GASLY PITS
Gasly comes in from P6 and he fits the harder tyre. He emerges back out in 16th place.
