    Oscar Piastri was shaking his head as he came across the line and bowed it as well in disappointment.

    The team radio is in Italian, so I can't translate, but I think Ferrari and Charles Leclerc are happy with that.

    "Mamma mia!!" says the Monegasque driver.

    You can hear the crowd cheering at every part of this circuit, Monza is about to erupt.

  6. Will Leclerc hang on?

    Crank up the volume. The tifosi are getting ready to celebrate!

    Charles Leclerc is nursing his hard tyres as the end is in sight.

    Ferrari put their chips on red with a one-stop strategy at home soil and the casino is about to cash out...

    I'm looking at the gap [between Piastri and Leclerc] slowly closing down, seven seconds with three laps remaining, I don't think that's enough time for Oscar to close in on the back of the Ferrari. I wonder if Ferrari sat and waited to see if McLaren would react to boxing.

  8. Lap 52/53

    'La pista magica'is delivering special things for Ferrari in the closing stages of this Italian Grand Prix at Monza. Charles Leclerc tyres are looking, well, not healthy, but still he powers on 4.3 seconds ahead of Oscar Piastri.

  9. Three laps to go

    Lap 51/53

    What a feeling it must be if Charles Leclerc can hear the noise of the Italian fans. The gap to Oscar Piastri in second is 6.3 seconds, with polesitter Lando Norris in third and the other Ferrari of Carlos Sainz in fourth.

  10. Lap 50/53

    The shirts are off in the crowd. Bare bellies are on show as Charles Leclerc picks off another lap ahead of his McLaren rivals. A shot of his brother, Arthur in the garage shows the nerves on Ferrari's faces. I bet even his dog, Leo is feeling the pressure.

  11. Team radio - Verstappen

    Max VerstappenReuters

    "Can people in the background please be awake?! I know this is a **** position but it's important."

  12. Five laps to go

    Lap 49/53

    The tifosi are starting to get louder with each passing lap. Charles Leclerc is on his one-stop strategy and leading Oscar Piastri by 7.9 seconds.

    Max Verstappen is on the team radio to tell Red Bull to look alive.

  13. Norris passes Sainz

    Lap 48/53

    OK, defence over. Lando Norris breezes through on the straight Carlos Sainz to take third place but the Briton would have preferred to have made that move on the Spaniard a lap or two earlier.

  14. Jennie Gow
    F1 pit-lane reporter

    Valtteri Bottas started this race on the hards and went 34 laps at the beginning with full fuel, so now looking at Leclerc he's done 30 laps on those hard tyres, I think he can make it.

  15. Lap 47/53

    The top five drivers are all running the hard tyres but the Ferrari boys are making their rubber work extra hard on home soil.

    Lando Norris is hunting down his former team-mate Carlos Sainz but the Spaniard is defending bravely with his older tyres.

  16. Harry Benjamin

    Oscar Piastri has to overcome over 11 and a half seconds to catch Charles Leclerc and stop the Ferrari driver from winning on home soil.

  18. Team radio - Sainz

    "Yeah my front left is nearly gone. But I guess we try."

  19. Lap 45/53

    Carlos Sainz has noticed his front left is feeling the pressure of the Monza circuit and when Oscar Piastri comes knocking with DRS, the Spaniard doesn't put up a fight.

    Piastri is now second, Sainz goes down to third.

  20. Lap 44/53

    While Ferrari have gone bold at their home race, Oscar Piastri is sitting behind the red cars in third place. The Australian has stopped twice and is 11.6 seconds away from leader Charles Leclerc.
