After Max Verstappen won a stellar home race at the Dutch Grand Prix last week, Lewis Hamilton and Mercedes F1 are hoping to strike back at the 2021 Italian Grand Prix this week. With the win, the Dutchman (224.5) regained the lead in the drivers’ standings by three points ahead of the Briton (221.5). Meanwhile, Mercedes F1 (344.5) extended its lead in the constructors’ championship to 12 points over Red Bull Racing (332.5) after its drivers finished second and third in last weekend’s race.
However, while the tense championship battle between Red Bull Racing and Mercedes F1 continues this weekend, support for Ferrari F1 could overshadow support for the two teams vying for the title. As the Ferrari F1 team is from Maranello, the Italian Grand Prix is their home race. The duo Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz hope to bring some joy to the fans after two difficult seasons. And there is no better way to get the fans excited than at a home race. Before the race this weekend, here’s a look at the full schedule of the 2021 Italian Grand Prix and details on how to watch the Indian Grand Prix live.
