Max Verstappen won at Monza on Sunday over ‘Checo’ Pérez and now leads the F1 World Cup standings after the 2023 F1 Italian GP by at least 145 points. The Dutchman claimed his 10th consecutive victory and is on course for his third title. He is almost 6 career margins away from ‘Checo’, and if he continues like this, he will soon have a new crown in his hands with high hopes.
Behind the two Red Bulls, the fight for third position in the F1 World Classification after the 2023 F1 Italian GP is heating up between Fernando Alonso and Lewis Hamilton. The Spaniard managed to distance himself by 12 points from the Englishman in his exhibition at Zandvoort, and at Monza, with an Aston Martin that suffered badly on the straights, he lost to the Briton by 6 points. Lewis is now just 6 points behind Fernando, although the Spaniard knows that in the next race in Singapore his car will perform better and could change significantly from what was seen at Monza.
Carlos Sainz, who had an excellent third position in the F1 Italian GP, was able to increase his lead to fifth position in the F1 World Championship. Today, Carlos is 47 points behind fourth place Hamilton and his teammate Charles Leclerc is 6 points behind and George Russell is 8 points behind.
