Lewis Hamilton Wins Italian Grand Prix

Lewis Hamilton survived a post-race investigation to take a routine lights to flag victory at the Italian Grand Prix. The Ferrari threat faded with a terrible start from Raikkonen and Hamilton was never run close by Vettel. Nico Rosberg suffered a demoralising engine failure while running in third.

Daniel Ricciardo salvaged eighth place with a last lap pass after a weekend ruined by a failed engine and ridiculous grid penalties.

PRACTICE AND QUALIFYING

Friday's practice sessions confirmed that Mercedes remain on another planet, with the team opting to burn the remaining of their seven engine development tokens to extend their advantage. 

Saturday's FP3 was marred by a wet track for the first thirty minutes, with the drivers staying put until the middle of the session.
