With a practically immovable place on the World Championship calendar, the Italian Grand Prix is one of the classic events par excellence of Formula 1, and forms the historic quartet of Grandes Epreuves alongside the races in Monaco, Great Britain and France. Almost all of them, except one, have taken place at the Autodromo Nazionale Monza, where speed and slipping play a fundamental role, but in which the competition is not always exciting. Of course, the results of the qualifying race on Saturday have raised a very interesting distribution of the deck.

The Spanish will have a good opportunity to score points, with Carlos Sainz sixth and Fernando Alonso tenth, and we will keep you up to date with their adventures and possible misadventures in our live stream.
