F1 Italian Grand Prix Qualifying Today: Monza start time, TV channel and live stream

Formula 1 qualifying takes centre stage at the 2024 Italian Grand Prix today (Saturday, August 31), with drivers battling for grid positions for Sunday's showdown at Monza.

Last time out in Zandvoort saw Lando Norris snatch a dominant second career victory, leaving home hero Max Verstappen in his wake by a margin of 22.896 seconds - the largest winning gap so far this season.

This means the Dutchman's winless streak now stands at five races. Though he currently leads Norris by 70 points in the championship, he can expect even stiffer competition in the remaining nine rounds.

McLaren will also be looking to narrow the gap with Red Bull in the constructors' championship, with only 30 points separating the two.

At this weekend's Italian GP, however, Ferrari are also primed to make a strong showing on home soil after arriving with a significant upgrade package - their biggest yet this year.

They will aim to secure their third consecutive pole position after Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz took the advantage at Monza in 2022 and 2023 respectively.

Although it was Verstappen who won both races, the Italian team will be hoping to capitalise on Red Bull's recent struggles and secure their third win of the season.
