Lando Norris was quickest in the last practice at the Italian Grand Prix, just ahead of Charles Leclerc.
The final practice at Monza started with clear blue skies and nice weather. Yuki Tsunoda was the first to set a time of 1:20.775, while Isack Hadjar, Franco Colapinto and Oliver Bearman all went briefly into the gravel. Max Verstappen went faster on soft tyres, setting 1:20.040 to lead the session. Charles Leclerc moved up to second for Ferrari, ahead of Lewis Hamilton and Tsunoda, although Leclerc had a small moment at Parabolica.
Kimi Antonelli then reported a small engine problem while George Russell, who had trouble on Friday, went fifth behind Alex Albon. Verstappen had a small issue with Esteban Ocon but it did not stop the session. In the last 20 minutes, many drivers switched to soft tyres to try quick laps, including the McLaren teammates.
Lando Norris went fastest with a 1:19.331, just ahead of his teammate Oscar Piastri. Verstappen and Isack Hadjar were briefly in between the two McLarens, but Piastri improved to make it a McLaren 1-2, only 0.165 seconds behind Norris. Leclerc made a small mistake at the second Lesmo and went into the gravel, but recovered on his last lap to take second, just 0.021 seconds behind Norris.
