F1 2017 - Italian GP

The grueling Autodromo Nazionale Monza is the battle arena for the Italian Grand Prix of the F1 2017 season and history has been made by Lewis Hamilton following his historic pole position record that exceeds the expectations of F1 racing legends as well as keeping the rivalry between the Silver Arrows and the Prancing Horses burning hotter until the endgame comes between them.

Following his record-breaking 69th pole position record, Mercedes' Lewis Hamilton kept his lead going until he claimed his sixth win of the season while Valtteri Bottas placed 2nd, a 1-2 finish for the silver arrows, and Ferrari's firebrand, Sebastian Vettel, placed 3rd. Other finishers include Red Bull's Daniel Ricciardo, Kimi Raikkonen, Force India's Esteban Ocon and Sergio Perez, and Williams' Lance Stroll and Felipe Massa.

Another unlucky weekend for McLaren-Honda as both Stoffel Vandoorne and Fernando Alonso's cars faced mechanical failures, prompting them to retire by the team's request. Other drivers who couldn't make it are Marcus Ericsson from Sauber and Renault's Jolyon Palmer.

Thanks to Hamilton making history at Monza, the gap between him and Vettel are now at just three points, 238 vs 235. Next race is at Singapore on the 17th.
