After Max Verstappen’s home race at Zandvoort, it’s time for the Ferrari team’s home race next weekend. The Emilia Romagna Grand Prix was canceled earlier this year, but now the Formula 1 circuit is moving to the Monza circuit for the Italian Grand Prix. This is the last European race of the season. This means that only one more time will be driven on the standard European times this year.
The Italian Grand Prix is traditionally the last European race of the season. After the race at the iconic Monza circuit, Formula 1 will travel to Singapore after a week off racing. Since the race there is held in the evening, the time of that Grand Prix somewhat corresponds to the times of the European races. This weekend is the last time that Formula 1 will start on Sunday at 3 p.m. The full timetable can be found below.

Verstappen on record hunt in front of Tifosi
Verstappen won the Dutch Grand Prix for the third year in a row last Sunday. At the same time, he recorded his ninth win in a row, equaling the record for most wins in a row. The record was previously only held by Sebastian Vettel, who set the record in the second half of the 2013 season. The then Red Bull Racing driver managed to win every race in the second part of the year.
Vettel ultimately did not get the chance to sharpen his record, but Verstappen can win for the tenth time in a row at Monza. He must do so in front of the Tifosi. Last season, the Dutchman was still involved in a battle with Ferrari driver Charles Leclerc, but next weekend all signals are green for Verstappen to win again. Last season, the reigning world champion also won in Italy.
