Max Verstappen set the pace in first practice at the F1 Italian Grand Prix, ahead of Ferrari’s Carlos Sainz and Red Bull teammate Sergio Perez.
The two-time world champion was 0.046 seconds faster than Sainz as home favourites Ferrari had both their cars among the FP1 frontrunners in the opening hour of practice at Monza.Perez, who trails Verstappen by 138 points in the world championship, was 0.177s behind his teammate.
After equalling Sebastian Vettel’s record as the driver with the most wins in a row in a single F1 season last time out at his home race at Zandvoort, Verstappen is bidding for a record-breaking 10th consecutive victory this weekend. It was a fairly uneventful start to Friday’s running, though Verstappen was heard complaining about getting “way too much helmet lift” half-way through the session.
