McLaren's Daniel Ricciardo will join Verstappen on the front row for the first time since the pair were teammates at Red Bull in 2018
Red Bull's Max Verstappen took pole position for the Italian Grand Prix and surged five points clear of Lewis Hamilton in the Formula One championship after a sprint qualifying race on September 11. Hamilton's Mercedes team mate Valtteri Bottas won the sprint but engine penalties sent the Finn to the back of the grid for the main race at Monza. While Verstappen is perfectly placed for an eighth win in 14 races, seven-times world champion Hamilton will start fourth. The championship gap is in danger of dropping into double figures.
