The Italian Grand Prix returns this weekend with high expectations of another enthralling battle at Monza.

The rolling hills, scorching high-speed corners and that chicane provide the perfect backdrop for racing, but can anyone come close to halting Max Verstappen's relentless march to the title?

Red Bull megastar Verstappen has won nine races in a row, he sits in a league of his own, untouched, unspoiled by fruitless attempts to dethrone him in 2023.

Teammate Sergio Pérez has failed to inspire confidence in his ability to complete Red Bull one-twos lately, with just one second-place finish in eight races, while a host of chasing pack cars have shown flashes of greatness.

Alpine ace Pierre Gasly closed out the podium with a third-place finish in the Dutch Grand Prix last time out, with Fernando Alonso back up to second following a four-race drought.
