The FIA have finally published the Italian Grand Prix Formula 1 starting grid, showing Max Verstappen to be seventh.
There was much debate after qualifying over where the World Champion would line up for the race, after questions about how his five-place gird drop would be applied.
Some believed he faced a straight five-place drop to start, while others believed him to be starting fourth, with other drivers behind him also incurring penalties.
In the end, the FIA placed Verstappen seventh alongside Nyck de Vries, who is making his F1 debut in place of Alex Albon on medical grounds at Williams.
Charles Leclerc and George Russell will share the front row at Monza.
