Formula 1 returns to Monza this weekend for the Italian Grand Prix, the second part of a double-header following the recent race in Zandvoort.
Unlike in the Dutch Grand Prix, not a drop of rain is forecast in Monza, with the drivers to be met with scorching temperatures from the get-go on Friday.
There will be more eyes than usual on first practice, with Mercedes fielding its Italian teenage sensation Andrea Kimi Antonelli for the first time. Antonelli will replace George Russell for FP1.
Another driver to watch closely is Franco Colapinto, who is replacing Logan Sargeant at Williams for the remainder of the season. Max Verstappen and Lando Norris willl both also be targeting a positive start to the weekend.
