Andrea Kimi Antonelli was the leading name at the Italian Grand Prix, held last Sunday (6), after completing a remarkable comeback from the back of the grid to win at Monza. The Mercedes driver also set the fastest lap of the race, recording a 1:23.504 on the final lap.
Antonelli’s fastest lap came after he had already completed his charge through the field and taken the lead from teammate George Russell. His victory also made him the first Italian to win his home Grand Prix since Ludovico Scarfiotti in 1966, as detailed in the report on Antonelli’s historic Monza victory.
Max Verstappen was second in the fastest-lap standings, with a 1:24.242, 0.738s off Antonelli’s benchmark. Nico Hülkenberg was third with a 1:24.364, while George Russell posted a 1:24.390 to take fourth.
Lando Norris completed the top five with a 1:24.864. Pierre Gasly and Franco Colapinto followed closely behind, with the Alpine drivers recording 1:24.927 and 1:24.933 respectively.
Oscar Piastri was eighth with a 1:25.125, while Lewis Hamilton recorded a 1:25.300 for ninth. Alexander Albon completed the top 10 with a 1:25.341.
The fastest lap did not necessarily reflect each driver’s finishing position, as some set their best times during different phases of the race or on different tyre compounds.
The Formula 1 season resumes from September 11-13 with the Spanish Grand Prix at Madrid’s new MADRING street circuit. GRANDE PRÊMIO will cover all the action from the 14th round of the 2026 season.
