Well, what a race that was!

Thank you for joining us during today's Italian Grand Prix.

Mugello is next up in a week's time. Will the race there be as wild?

Check out the full race report below:

Gasly takes astonishing Italian GP win, Hamilton seventh after penalty, Ferrari misery

What a victory for Gasly...

PIERRE: "Honestly, it's unbelievable, I'm not sure I'm realising what's happening right now, it was such a crazy race...

"I've been through so much in the space of 18 months, my first podium last year and now the win in Monza!"#ItalianGP 🇮🇹 #F1 pic.twitter.com/n0azRw3hcq

Lovely team radio calls from George Russell and Nicholas Latifi on their cool-down laps wishing their outgoing deputy team principal Claire Williams.

Pure class.

So near and yet so far for Sainz...

SAINZ: "I'm halfway disappointed with P2. We couldn't imagine being able to fight for P1.

"But really we're happy overall with P2. I have felt all weekend that I could have dominated the midfield"#ItalianGP 🇮🇹 #F1 pic.twitter.com/5vpktX57ih

Stroll was in the best position at the restart...

LANCE: "I am [happy with P3]! It's been a couple of years since I stood on the podium so good to be back!

I'm really happy for Pierre, he had such a good start and he kept it consistent.

It's kind of a bummer as it was kind of mine to lose starting P2!"#ItalianGP 🇮🇹 #F1 pic.twitter.com/xN19O3mh9B

No points for Red Bull nor Ferrari this afternoon and the top Mercedes in fifth.

Who'd have thought it?

And still the best of the top three teams.

A painful day for the Team. But we’re bold enough to own up when we make a mistake. 💪

It’s P5 and P7 at the flag for the boys. A mega comeback drive by Lewis after the penalty.

Congratulations to @PierreGASLY and @AlphaTauriF1! What a day. 👏👏👏👏 pic.twitter.com/u35rPetb7Y

Lovely to see Sainz and the Alpha Tauri mechanics share a moment together in parc ferme.

Of course, the team was once Toro Rosso - Sainz's first team.

VAMOSSSSSS CARLOS!

P2 at the Italian Grand Prix for @carlossainz55. An EPIC job by the whole team. YES! 👏🏆 #ItalianGP pic.twitter.com/Ib5arJYlA6

Norris finished fourth ahead of Bottas and Ricciardo.

Hamilton was able to nip ahead of Ocon for seventh. Damage limitation.

Carlos Sainz is gutted on the warm-down lap.

Could this be the one that got away? One more lap and he might have been on the top step.

Write him off at your peril... @PierreGASLY WINS THE ITALIAN GP! 🏆 #AlphaTauri #F1 #ItalianGP 🇮🇹 pic.twitter.com/aW4S4zlDhQ

FINISH

Sainz couldn't quite get close enough.

What a result for Pierre Gasly after all of the heartache last season.

Stroll takes Racing Point's long-awaited podium in third.

PIERRE GASLY WINS THE ITALIAN GRAND PRIX!!!

FINAL LAP

Gasly has a decent gap into Ascari - Sainz isn't close enough...

FINAL LAP

One more chance through Ascari and into the Parabolica. As close as you like.

FINAL LAP

DRS for Sainz! He is right on the back of Gasly now.

2 LAPS TO GO

Still no DRS for Sainz although he is closer than ever before. One more chance...

3 LAPS TO GO

Gasly is driving perfectly to manage the gap at the moment.

Team-mate Kvyat loses out to Hamilton as the polesitter takes eighth. Great recovery.

4 LAPS TO GO

Sainz is faster through the Parabolica but then loses so much time through the rest of the lap as the dirty air travels from the back of Gasly's Alpha Tauri.

Gasly looks comfortable!

5 LAPS TO GO

It looks like Sainz is starting to struggle in the turbulent air as he closes up to Gasly.

Hamilton has overtaken Perez for ninth and Bottas has fallen away from Norris.

LAP 48

If the top two start fighting, Stroll isn't a million miles behind in third. What a finish we could have here.

They are getting a little bit excited...

From here on out, if there are any typos it’s due to sweaty fingers. Pls frgive us.#AlphaTauri #F1 #ItalianGP 🇮🇹

LAP 46

Verstappen suffered an engine issue which forced him to retire.

Hamilton is past Latifi and Raikkonen so no stands to take two points.

Gasly only 1.3 seconds ahead now.
