The long European leg of the 2024 Formula 1 calendar, which started in June, is now in its dying stage. This weekend, the Italian Grand Prix will be the penultimate European race of 2024.
However, the race for the world championship is far from over. With every passing Grand Prix, the competition is becoming more enthralling. Before we discuss it, here are some quick details about the Italian Grand Prix 2024:
It has been over two months since Max Verstappen won a race. This is a rare sight for Formula 1 fans because the reigning world champion is otherwise a dominant force on the track. Needless to say, the Red Bull Racing driver’s title challenge this year is under serious threat.
On the bright side, Verstappen still holds the pole position on the Drivers’ Standings and maintains a healthy 70-point lead over second-placed Lando Norris. But if this drought continues, it won’t be long before the Dutch driver concedes this advantage to his closest competitors.
Will the Italian race serve as the perfect platform for the world champion to stage his comeback? Only time will tell. Meanwhile, scroll away to learn about the schedule (dates), venue and live stream details of the Italian Grand Prix 2024 so that you do not miss out on such thrilling Formula 1 action.
