Verstappen do🦹minated the Italian Grand Prix from seventh on the grid to move within touching distance of his second title.

The Dutchma🧸n is on course to win the title at the Japanese Grand Prix but could do so in Singapore at the start of October.

Remarkably, it was Verstappen’s 11th win of th♒e season - moving him two behind the all-time record set by Michael Schumacher (2004) and Sebastian Vettel (2013).

Afteไr winning at Monza for the first time in his F1 career, Verstappen was greeted by a chorus of boos when speaking to Martin Brundle in parc ferme but also on the podium.

Both Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton were famously booed at various races during last season, while during his period of dominance with Red Bull 🌠in 2013, Vettel was frequently greeted with them.

“It happens, everyone speaks to me about it with the booing and stuff but at the end of the day I am here to try and win the race which we’ve ꦫdone,” Verstappen said.

“Some people of course they cannot ᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚappreciate that because they are very passionate fans for a diff🐲erent team. It is what it is.

“It is 💫not going to spoil my day, I am j🍌ust enjoying the moment.”

Charles Leclerc finished second at Monza, and has been Verstappen’s closest rival on-track in 2022 desꦰpite the 116-point d👍eficit.

Leclerc sta🍒ted that it was wrong of the Tifosi to boo Verstappen, while expressing his concerns about the use of flares.

“I think nobody likes b𓃲ooing and I think it shouldn’t happen. That’s it,” Leclerc added.

“And for the flares, personaꦗlly I think it is OK when it is used before the formation lap or laps to the grid, but then sometimes during the race it can be a bit confusing for us. I🔯t is the way it is, after the chequered flag there was a bit but not too disturbing.”
