2024 Italian Grand Prix – Free Practice 2 F1 results (Monza)
Ferrari driver Carlos Sainz in action during Friday practice at Monza
Here are the complete F1 results from the second free practice session (FP2) at the Italian Grand Prix, the 16th round of the F1 2024 season at the historic Monza circuit.
Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton set the pace in FP2 at Monza, with his fastest lap of 1:20.738 pipping McLaren’s Lando Norris by just 0.003s.
Norris is going in search of consecutive wins for the first time in his F1 career this weekend, having dominated from pole position at last weekend’s Dutch Grand Prix at Zandvoort.
F1 results from FP2 at 2024 Italian Grand Prix
Ferrari’s Carlos Sainz was just over a tenth slower than Hamilton’s benchmark time in third, marginally ahead of Oscar Piastri and team-mate Charles Leclerc, the last Ferrari driver to win at Monza in 2019.
Hamilton’s team-mate George Russell was late to the session after teenager Andrea Kimi Antonelli crashed his car while participating in his first-ever F1 practice session in FP1, with Mercedes forced to carry out extensive repairs.
Russell posted a late lap to secure sixth ahead of Haas man Nico Hulkenberg and VCARB’s Daniel Ricciardo.
The Aston Martin pair of Fernando Alonso and Lance Stroll completed the top 10.

After topping the morning session, reigning World Champion Max Verstappen was classified 14th after aborting his soft-tyre run.
Verstappen has been limited to just three wins across the last 10 races entering the Italian Grand Prix, where he remains unbeaten since 2022. Red Bull team-mate Sergio Perez was one spot behind in 15th.
The session was suspended for almost 15 minutes at the halfway stage after Haas driver Kevin Magnussen crashed at Lesmo 2 to bring out the red flags.
Magnussen, the former McLaren and Renault driver, is highly unlikely to remain in F1 next season, having been informed prior to the summer break that he will be replaced by Esteban Ocon for F1 2025.
