Not going to be the best race of the race. But, a race that current F1 champion Lewis Hamilton want to forget. Hamilton who started on pole, had a poor start and bogged down to sixth on the first lap. Which means Nico Rosberg took the advantage at the start and took the lead, stayed there with most of the laps leading, to conclude with a race win in this seasons Italian Grand Prix for Nico Rosberg's seventh race win of the season
While, Rosberg's team-mate and current F1 Champion Lewis Hamilton finished in second place in the other Mercedes to give the team its fourth one-two finish of the season, Hamilton was fifteen seconds behind Rosberg at the end.
Meanwhile, Sebastian Vettel finished in third place in the Ferrari to complete the podium, Vettel was twenty seconds behind Rosberg at the end of the fifty-three lap race.
With Nico Rosberg's win in Italy and Lewis Hamilton only managing a second place finish at Monza, Hamilton still leads the F1 driver championship and now his gap between himself and team-mate Nico Rosberg is gone from nine points to two points with seven races to go.
