Italian Grand Prix race day

16:36 Alesi has taken over, and Vettel is speaking to the tifosi in Italian.

16:35 Bottas: "The car was so strong today, it was amazing how quick we were. It was a pure joy to drive, the pace was good, it was the perfect result. No drama."

16:35

16:34 A healthy amount of booing from the tifosi for Hamilton, who is taking it in good spirits.

16:34 Hamilton: "I love it here in Italy and I love the passion of the fans, particularly the Ferrari fans, they are fantastic. I'm happy, we did a great job. Mercedes power is definitely better than Ferrari power!"

16:33 And Jean Alesi is on the podium too! "Forza Ferrari!" he shouts.

16:33 Martin Brundle heads out to conduct the podium interviews, as Hamilton takes a photo of the crowd.

16:32

16:31

16:31 The biggest cheer from the crowd is for third-placed Vettel. It's a sea of red out there on the main straight.

16:19 Massa and Stroll are side by side through Curva Grande!

16:19 Hamilton wins the 2017 Italian Grand Prix! Mercedes team-mate Bottas follows him home in second.

16:18 Vettel looks safe in third, as Ricciardo is 4.6s behind.

16:17 The battle for sixth is a four car train now - Force India, Williams, Williams, Force India.

16:17 Hamilton starts the last lap on his way to Italian GP victory.

16:17 Hamilton is on his penultimate lap and 5.2s ahead of Bottas.

16:17 "Fernando, back off, back off - we need to retire the car."

16:16 Verstappen is given a list of several corners where he is slower than Ricciardo, and he says "Yeah, what do you expect?". He's told it's "just information".

16:15 Hamilton leads by 5.4s over Bottas and is just a few laps away from winning the Italian GP.

16:15

16:15 No further action on the Verstappen/Magnussen incident. Correct decision.

16:14 Ocon is 1.3s ahead of Stroll, who has Massa 0.6s behind, with Perez just 1.8s behind the Williams pair now.

16:14 Ricciardo reclaims fastest lap with a 1m23.361s.

16:14 The gap between Vettel and Ricciardo is 4.6s on lap 50/53. Looks like Ricciardo will run out of time in this chase.

16:14

16:13 The Verstappen/Magnussen incident is under investigation. Not sure coming off the brakes to drive into a space that doesn't exist makes you much of a victim.

16:13 Hamilton retakes fastest lap with a 1m23.542s.

16:12 "If that is allowed, then it's crazy. It can't be allowed," says Magnussen.

16:11 The gap between Vettel and Ricciardo is six seconds.

16:11 Fastest lap again for Ricciardo with a 1m23.675s.

16:11 The onboard from Magnussen's car shows that Verstappen was clearly ahead when they hit the brakes, so he was entitled to move across there.

16:10 Magnussen covers the inside into the first chicane, so Verstappen switches to the outside to take 10th. Magnussen comes back at him through Curva Grande, Verstappen moves across to take the racing line, and bumps the Haas. "What is he doing pushing me off the track?!" says Magnussen.

16:10 On lap 47/53, Hamilton's lead is 3.5s over Bottas. Vettel is a further 30s back in third, with fourth-placed Ricciardo 6.4s behind.

16:09 Ricciardo has eight laps and just over seven seconds to make up on Vettel as he chases the podium. Could be a tight finish. Remember, Ricciardo started 16th!

16:08 Verstappen has slipped down the inside of Kvyat for 11th, and now he can set about chasing Magnussen for 10th.

15:51 Verstappen breezes past Alonso - Renault v Honda power there, which won't have gone unnoticed in one of those garages.
