The 2024 Formula One season continues its post-summer swing through Europe as teams head to Italy for the second time this year for the latest edition of the Italian Grand Prix at Monza Circuit.
One of the most celebrated tracks and races on the calendar, fans are expected to flock in the thousands to the venue, located north of the industrial city of Milan, for a weekend of pedal-to-the-metal action and drama.
Lando Norris took his second win of the season last time out at the Dutch Grand Prix to end Max Verstappen's dominance in his home race, but the McLaren man still has a long way to go if he has any hope of catching the Red Bull heavyweight in the standings.
Lewis Hamilton, meanwhile, will be looking to bounce back from a frustrating race, having finally returned to winning ways in Great Britain and Belgium this year with Mercedes. Still, at the other end of the pack, there are curtains for Logan Sargeant and Williams.
The American crashed in final practice at the Netherlands, which saw the team drop the ax on his short tenure, drafting Franco Colapinto for the rest of the year before Carlos Sainz arrives from Ferrari in 2025.
As teams continue to finalize their plans for the future, you can expect to see plenty of narrative twists and turns to match those on the track, but just how can you watch it all unfold?
