This was a grand prix Lewis Hamilton had no business winning. On what everyone expected to be a famous Monza day for the tifosi, Ferrari squandered a potential one-two and Sebastian Vettel lost vital ground in the world championship.
To say Ferrari lost does a great race a disservice, for the Italian Grand Prix was a race won, emphatically, by Hamilton and Mercedes. It’s a victory that ranks among the best of the four-time world champion’s 68 Formula 1 wins.
