The Italian Grand Prix

Last week was the turn of another historic race track to appear on the calender: Monza. With its historic banking no longer used on the track but still shows how tricky the circuit is. Qualifying on Saturday saw Lewis Hamilton edge Rosberg to take pole, with Bottas bagging Williams a second row start.

The race itself was very eventful. Ricciardo failed to gain a hatrick of victories because his Renault power unit failed to give him enough speed to catch the leaders. Surprisingly, Fernando Alonso-the only driver to have gained points in every race so far-had a power unit failure midway through the race which brought his record to an end. In the end Lewis Hamilton led the race comfortably to win the Italian Grand Prix, With Nico Rosberg finishing in second and Filipe Massa gaining his first ever podium for Williams. The next race is in Singapore, next week.
