F1 Results Today: Italian Grand Prix practice times – Ferrari lead AGAIN

Max Verstappen led the pack through a relatively uneventful FP1 session in Monza on Friday afternoon, with most teams testing out their long run pace on hard tyres – with Carlos Sainz just a shade behind him.

However, FP2 saw some more action, Sainz leading the pack while a mechanical issue for Lance Stroll's Aston Martin caused a brief red flag before Sergio Perez got beached in the gravel trap on the outside of the Parabolica.

The Mexican driver was very wide on the entrance to the corner, and failed to snatch it back onto the track – leaving him skidding across the large gravel trap and just tapping the barrier with his rear wing before getting stuck on his way back to the track.

FP3, held early on Saturday afternoon local time, was back to being fairly routine as teams got their eyes in for the afternoon's qualifying session.

Teams are limited in their choices of tyres this weekend, with only 11 sets of dry tyres available to them as opposed to 13 in a standard weekend.

Here are the timesheets from Saturday's practice action at Monza.
