The 2025 Formula 1 season heads to Monza, Italy for the 16th race of the campaign, the Italian Grand Prix, set to be held on Sunday.

Although teammate Lando Norris has been catching the headlines recently, McLaren's Oscar Piastri claimed his seventh win of the campaign at last week's Dutch Grand Prix, defeating the likes of local favorite Max Verstappen and Racing Bulls' Isack Hadjar.

Charles Leclerc comes into this year's Italian Grand Prix as the defending champion. He will hope to win the race again this time around, in the process opening his and Ferrari's account for the campaign.

The 2025 Italian Grand Prix race is finally here and for all your time, TV and streaming details, look no further than The Sporting News for a full guide.
