Max Verstappen will start the Formula One Italian Grand Prix at the front of the grid despite finishing second in Saturday’s qualifying sprint.
Mercedes driver Valtteri Bottas won the 18-lap race at Monza ahead of Verstappen, but was already condemned to start Sunday’s GP at the back of the grid after being penalised for taking on power unit components in qualifying on Friday.
