Red Bull’s Max Verstappen inflicted a home defeat on Charles Leclerc and Ferrari in the Italian Grand Prix to continue his cruise to a second title.

Verstappen beat Leclerc after the Italian team tried a questionable two-stop strategy, surrendering the lead to the Dutchman twice on track.

Verstappen’s 11th win this year puts him 115 points clear of Leclerc and means he could potentially clinch the championship at the next race in Singapore.

Mercedes’ George Russell took third place, ahead of the Ferrari of Carlos Sainz and Lewis Hamilton’s Mercedes, both of whom fought up from the back of the grid.
