Italian Grand Prix 2015 - Race Schedule and Countdown

Lewis Hamilton secured victory at the Italian Grand Prix, defeating Sebastian Vettel and Felipe Massa at Monza's Temple of Speed. Starting from pole, Hamilton controlled the race from the front, though Ferrari's improved pace meant Vettel pushed him throughout. The victory at Monza extended Hamilton's championship lead and demonstrated Mercedes' power unit advantage on F1's fastest circuit, even as Ferrari showed competitive form.

The race featured intense battles as Hamilton managed his tires and fuel to stay ahead of Vettel's charging Ferrari. Vettel pushed hard throughout but couldn't find a way past Hamilton's defensive excellence and Mercedes' superior straight-line speed. Massa's podium for Williams continued their solid 2015 campaign, though victory remained beyond their reach against Mercedes and Ferrari.

Hamilton's Monza triumph was his eighth victory from 13 races and moved him closer to clinching the championship. The win at Ferrari's home circuit was particularly satisfying, defeating the tifosi's heroes on their own soil. With six races remaining, Hamilton needed only to maintain consistency to secure his third world title, cementing his status among Formula 1's all-time greats.
