The 2024 Italian Grand Prix (officially known as the Formula 1 Pirelli Gran Premio d'Italia 2024) was a Formula One motor race held on 1 September 2024 at the Monza Circuit in Monza, Italy. It was the sixteenth round of the 2024 Formula One World Championship.

The race featured the Grand Prix debut of Franco Colapinto, who drove for Williams until the end of the season. Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri locked out the front row for McLaren, their first at Monza since 2012. The 53-lap race was won by Charles Leclerc of Ferrari, who utilised a one-stop strategy to take the team’s first win at Monza since 2019. Piastri and Norris rounded out the podium, the latter scoring the fastest lap.

Race

[edit]

The race started at 15:00 local time (UTC+2) on 1 September 2024 and ran for 53 laps.[1] Fourteen drivers started on medium tyres, with the remaining six choosing the hard compound.[20] The track temperature was hot, at 52.2 °C, and there was a greater chance of rain than initially forecast.[21]

Lando Norris held the lead off of the starting line. George Russell locked up on the opening straight and was forced to take the run-off area of turn one, suffering damage to his front wing. He lost four positions and rejoined the race in seventh.[22] At the second chicane, Oscar Piastri performed an unexpected overtake on Norris, forcing Norris to break and allowing Charles Leclerc to overtake him, moving Norris down to third.[23] Nico Hülkenberg was forced off the track and into a gravel trap by Daniel Ricciardo. Both cars were able to continue, but Ricciardo was issued a 5-second time penalty and 1 penalty point.[24][25]

Four laps later, Hülkenberg locked up his tyres on turn 1 and collided with the other RB of Yuki Tsunoda, causing both cars damage. Hülkenberg pitted on lap 6, switching to hard tires and changing his front wing. Tsunoda retired a lap later due to floor damage sustained from the collision; Hulkenberg was later given a 10-second time penalty and 2 penalty points for his role in the incident.[26][27] Leclerc's teammate Carlos Sainz Jr. initially overtook the McLarens during their first stops but ended up losing the positions to them.[25]

Leclerc stopped early to run the hard tyres, a decision he initially criticised on team radio. However, he was shifted into first place following stops for other drivers and ended up running the tyres to the end, winning the race ahead of Piastri and Norris. Leclerc's victory marked his seventh career win and Ferrari's first win at their home race since 2019, which was also won by Leclerc.[25][28] This race marked the debut of Franco Colapinto, who finished in twelfth having qualified in eighteenth. A Williams junior, Colapinto was brought in from Formula 2 early to replace Logan Sargeant, who was dropped due to underperforming. Following the race, Kevin Magnussen of Haas received penalty points on his licence for a collision with Pierre Gasly. This took Magnussen over the limit of 12 points for a rolling year, and earning him a one-race ban from the following 2024 Azerbaijan Grand Prix.[29]
