Report edit
Ilott repeated his previous year success in Monza qualifying, grabbing another pole.[1] But pit stop struggles left him without the chance of taking the podium. The race was won by Schumacher, who was victorious in the feature race for the first time.[2] He was accompanied by Ghiotto and Lundgaard on podium, with the former equalling the all-time record of 23 podiums by last year's champion Nyck de Vries.
In the sprint race Ticktum crossed the finish line first after dominating the race, but he was disqualified due to a lack of fuel. Ilott inherited the win and retook the lead in the championship from Shwartzman.[3][4]
