Carlos Sainz was in stellar form as he came out on top during qualifying for the 2023 Italian Grand Prix. The Ferrari man delighted the home crowd as a 1m 20.294s lap got the job done ahead of Max Verstappen and team mate Charles Leclerc.
The Spaniard had led the way after the first of the Q3 runs in Monza, but improvements for Verstappen and Leclerc meant he needed his own gain to secure P1 for the race – something he managed to achieve on his final hot lap.
