  • Formula One will hold the Italian Grand Prix at Monza from Friday through Sunday, with the race scheduled for 10 a.m. Argentina time on Sunday.
  • Championship leader Kimi Antonelli will start last after receiving a grid penalty for changing his Mercedes engine.
  • Mercedes leads the constructors' standings, while Lando Norris enters the race after winning the season's last two rounds.

Formula One heads to Monza next weekend for the Italian Grand Prix, the 15th round listed on the 2026 calendar but only the 13th to be held. Bahrain and Saudi Arabia were suspended because of the conflict in the Middle East. Bahrain's race was rescheduled for October in Malaysia.

The weekend begins on Friday with the first two practice sessions at 7:30 a.m. and 11 a.m. Argentina time. Saturday brings the final practice and qualifying from 11 a.m., followed by Sunday's race at 10 a.m. All sessions will be broadcast live on Fox Sports, available online through Flow, DGO and Telecentro Play, and on Disney+ Premium.

The main talking point is the position of Kimi Antonelli. The Mercedes driver leads the championship with 242 points, but he will start the Italian Grand Prix from the back of the grid regardless of his qualifying result. He received the penalty after changing his car's engine.

Antonelli's Mercedes teammate George Russell and Ferrari's Lewis Hamilton share second place with 183 points. McLaren's Lando Norris is fourth on 159 after winning the last two races. Alpine's Franco Colapinto remains 12th overall with 19 points after failing to score at the Dutch Grand Prix. Mercedes leads the constructors' championship with 425 points, ahead of Ferrari on 338. Alpine is sixth with 63.
