Max Verstappen has won the Italian Grand Prix, taking his third grand prix victory of the season.
Verstappen controlled the race for much of the 53 laps as he converted his pole position into a win ahead of the two McLarens.
Lando Norris claimed second place on the road as he managed to take three points out of Oscar Piastri's championship lead, with the latter crossing the line in third.
However, it came after a controversial team order call late in the race, with McLaren opting to restore the positions after Norris dropped behind due to a slow pit stop.
There was to be no home podium success for Ferrari, with Charles Leclerc sitting as the leading Italian car in fourth.

A manic opening portion of laps commenced with Norris getting the jump on Verstappen off the line, which saw him briefly run onto the grass en route to Turn 1.
Verstappen skipped the first corner as he claimed he was forced wide by his McLaren rival, before he was instructed to hand the place back to Norris.
Verstappen obliged and followed Norris for another lap before launching an attack at Turn 1 at the start of lap four, successfully reclaiming the lead.
A little further back, Piastri was having a battle with Leclerc as they swapped positions several times before Piastri consolidated third on lap six.
As the pit stops approached, Verstappen continued to stretch out his lead over the McLaren pair as he went in hunt of his third win of the season.
The first retirement of the race occurred on lap 25 of the race, with Fernando Alonso being the victim. He returned to the pit lane while reporting a suspension failure.

George Russell became the first of the front-runners to make a pit stop on lap 28, before he was followed in one lap later by team-mate Kimi Antonelli.
Mercedes’ rivals took their time responding to the stop, with Ferrari’s Leclerc becoming the next to change his tyres on lap 34 on the hard tyres.
A handful of laps later, race-leader Verstappen opted he had enough of the medium compound and switched to the hard tyre, briefly giving the race lead back to Norris.
Hamilton became the second Ferrari to pit on the following lap, while further back in the pack, Carlos Sainz and Oliver Bearman collided at Turn 4 as they battled outside the points.
Having run first and second for some time, McLaren initiated their pit stops with Piastri peeling in first while Norris continued on for one more lap.
While Piastri’s stop was a slick 1.9 seconds, Norris was held for several seconds longer due to a wheel gun issue, which saw him drop behind Piastri when he emerged back onto the track.
McLaren ordered the cars to swap back around, with Norris reinstated in second place all the way to the chequered flag.
With Verstappen, Norris and Piastri completing the top three, Ferrari were fourth and sixth with Leclerc and Hamilton respectively.
Lodged between the two red cars was Mercedes’ Russell.
Alex Albon continued his strong season with a run to eighth, while Antonelli took the chequered flag in eighth before being demoted due to a five-second time penalty, gifting eighth to Bortoleto.
Taking the final point on offer was Isack Hadjar, who rose to the top 10 after starting from the pit lane.
