Italian Grand Prix Tips

Having taken the chequered flag at the Dutch Grand Prix last time out, McLaren’s Lando Norris will look to land back-to-back wins for the first time in his F1 career when he competes at the Italian Grand Prix on Sunday.

Norris has been slowly chipping away at Max Verstappen’s lead at the top of the Drivers’ Championship standings, although the Red Bull star still has a healthy 70-point lead. Bristolian Norris has been showing excellent consistency for much of this season and the 24-year-old looks capable of landing the third win of his F1 career at this weekend’s Italian Grand Prix at Monza.

Tip 1 - Lando Norris to win @ Evens

Ending Verstappen’s three-year winning run at the Dutch Grand Prix last weekend, it was a statement victory for Norris in the world champion’s own backyard.

Now the question will be whether Norris can back up that performance with another chequered flag winning display at Monza.

Norris has performed well on this track in the past, with a highlight being when he came second in his McLaren in 2021.

The Brit has a much more competitive car than he did three years ago and, having finished on the podium nine times this season, has the consistency of performance to take the chequered flag again on Sunday.

Tip 2 - Lewis Hamilton podium finish @ 2/1

No driver in the history of F1 has won the Italian Grand Prix more times than Lewis Hamilton, who has won the race on five occasions alongside the great Michael Schumacher.

Hamilton will have fond memories of Monza but his last victory on this circuit was back in the 2018 F1 season.

The Brit has been showing glimpses of the form that helped him win seven world titles and has finished on the podium three times in the last four races.

Eighth place in the Dutch Grand Prix last time was disappointing but the Mercedes star can bounce back to finish on the podium this weekend at a circuit where he has delivered the goods in the past.

Tip 3 - Pierre Gasly top-10 finish @ 3/1

Alpine’s Pierre Gasly was available at odds of around 4/1 to finish in the top 10 at the Dutch Grand Prix and the Frenchman duly delivered with a ninth-place finish at Circuit Zandvoort.

Odds to land in the points in Monza this weekend have shortened slightly but it’s still a price worth considering here.

After finishing in the top 10 four races in a row, Gasly had some reliability issues that set him back in Britain, Hungary and Belgium.

However, Gasly put those issues behind him with a positive performance after the summer break at Circuit Zandvoort and is available at attractive odds of 3/1 to finish in the points at the Italian Grand Prix on Sunday.
