How to follow Italian Grand Prix on the BBC

Charles Leclerc won the Italian Grand Prix in 2024

Lando Norris' retirement at the Dutch Grand Prix was a huge blow to his title hopes but he doesn't have long to wait before getting back on the track with the Italian Grand Prix taking place from 5-7 September.

Norris' McLaren team-mate Oscar Piastri went on to win in Zandvoort, meaning he has a 34-point lead in the drivers' championship.

In the constructors' standings, leaders McLaren are ahead of Ferrari by 324 points, while Mercedes in third are only 12 points behind the Italian team in the race for second.

Sunday's grand prix starts at 14:00 BST.
