How to follow Italian Grand Prix on the BBC

Round 13 of the 2026 Formula 1 season heads to Monza, the home of Ferrari, for the Italian Grand Prix, from 4-6 September.

McLaren’s Lando Norris took his second win in a row in the first race back from the summer break in a chaotic farewell to the Dutch Grand Prix.

Norris has since signed a new contract with McLaren that will keep him with the team until the end of the 2030 season.

He was joined on the podium by Mercedes’ Kimi Antonelli, who extended his lead in the drivers’ championship to 59 points over team-mate George Russell, who finished third, and Ferrari’s Lewis Hamilton.

Lights out for Sunday’s 53-lap race will be at 14:00 BST.

Commentary of the race will be available across BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra, BBC Sounds and the BBC Sport website and app.

You can also listen by asking most smart speakers to “play BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra”.

Make sure to listen to every episode of the Chequered Flag podcast. For the first time this year, the post-race show for every grand prix is available to watch on BBC iPlayer and YouTube, external.
