Your complete guide to the Italian Grand Prix 2021 start time, plus full TV schedule for race weekend including practice, sprint qualifying and the GP itself at Monza. <\/p>
The F1 calendar 2021<\/a> takes us to Monza next for the Italian Grand Prix with a simmering title battle continue to swing back and forth between two racing icons.<\/p>\n Max Verstappen sealed victory in front of a raucous crowd on his home turf at Zandvoort in the Dutch Grand Prix last weekend, and that has restored him to the top of the tree with a three-point gap over Lewis Hamilton.<\/p>\n In the grand scheme of the season, three points is effectively a rounding error, a negligible gap that could easily be filled with one result.<\/p>\n Hamilton will hope that result comes here on a track he has dominated in the past. The Mercedes star has won five times here between 2012 and 2018.<\/p>\n In 2019, it was Charles Leclerc who delighted the Tifosi with a victory for Ferrari, while Pierre Gasly exploited a famously frantic race at Monza behind closed doors in 2020 to secure his first ever F1 Grand Prix win.<\/p>\n RadioTimes.com<\/a> brings you the complete guide to the Italian Grand Prix 2021 including start time, dates and TV details, as well as exclusive analysis from Sky Sports F1 commentator Crofty ahead of every race.<\/p>\n The Italian Grand Prix takes place on Sunday 12th September 2021<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n Check out our full F1 2021 calendar<\/span> for the list of dates and upcoming races.<\/span><\/p>\n The race begins at 2<\/strong>pm<\/strong> on Sunday 12th September 2021.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n We\u2019ve included the full schedule for the rest of the weekend, including practice and qualifying times below.<\/span><\/p>\n Friday 10th September<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n From 1pm on Sky Sports F1<\/a><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n Practice 1 \u2013 1:30pm<\/span><\/p>\n Qualifying \u2013 5pm<\/span><\/p>\n Saturday 11th September<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n From 10:30am on Sky Sports F1<\/a><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n Practice 2 \u2013 11am<\/span><\/p>\n Sprint qualifying \u2013 3:30pm<\/span><\/p>\n Sunday 12th September<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n From 12:30pm on Sky Sports F1<\/a><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n Race \u2013 2pm<\/span><\/p> The Italian Grand Prix will air live on Sky Sports F1<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n All races will be shown live on Sky Sport<\/span>s<\/span> F1<\/a> and Main Event<\/a> throughout the season.<\/span><\/p>\n Sky customers can add individual channels for just \u00a318 per month or add the complete sports package to their deal for just \u00a325 per month.<\/span><\/p>\n Existing Sky Sports customers can live stream the race via the Sky Go app on a variety of devices.<\/span><\/p>\n You can watch the Grand Prix with a NOW <\/span>Day Membership<\/span><\/a>\u00a0for \u00a39.99 or a\u00a0Monthly Membership<\/span><\/a>\u00a0for \u00a333.99, all without signing up to a contract.<\/span><\/p>\n NOW can be streamed through a computer or apps found on most smart TVs, phones and consoles. NOW is also available via BT Sport.<\/span><\/p>\n With Sky Sports F1 commentator David Croft<\/em><\/p>\n DC: <\/strong>We did see in Hungary, George said to the Williams team: \u201cLook, whatever you do, prioritise Nicholas [Latifi], if it means ruining my race, prioritise Nicholas, because he can score the most amount of points for this team.\u201d He will still play the team game at Williams.<\/p>\n He\u2019s been there three years, he owes Williams an awful lot. They\u2019ve not given him a car that he would have wanted in terms of racing in the upper echelon of the midfield but he has produced some standout performances there. He has been able to do that because of a very good car on a Saturday in qualifying as we know.<\/p>\n DC:\u00a0<\/strong>He is paid to be a team player, he is paid to race for Mercedes and not always for himself. How does it change the dynamic with Lewis? I don\u2019t think it does. I think as teammates they will still be okay. Valtteri is not going to be the most delighted man on the planet to be leaving Mercedes but he\u2019s a professional.<\/p>\n He knows that it\u2019s still good for him to be racing as high as he can for Mercedes, to be winning the Constructor\u2019s Championship, even though he won\u2019t win a Driver\u2019s Championship this year. Knowing Valtteri as I do, I don\u2019t think there\u2019ll be a problem when push comes to shove.<\/p>\n However, if he\u2019s leading a race and Lewis is second and the team ask him to swap places, where is the incentive for him to give up a win? In the past year he has moved aside for his teammate, he\u2019s done that in the knowledge that he will get other chances to win. With all due respect to Alfa Romeo, those chances might not be coming in the future.<\/p>\n DC:\u00a0<\/strong>Everybody knows Monza; it\u2019s one of those tracks that you can\u2019t help but know. It\u2019s 100 years of the Italian Grand Prix so we\u2019re celebrating this year at Monza. It is the fastest race of the season in terms of speed and in terms of duration of time as well. The Tifosi will be out in the sunshine, Monza will look beautiful, we can\u2019t wait to go there because it is one of our favourite races of the season.<\/p>\n Is it a favourite race for Lewis Hamilton? He\u2019s won here five times but it\u2019s the only track in the 2019 and 2020 seasons that he didn\u2019t actually win on. Red Bull haven\u2019t won there since 2013, they haven\u2019t been on the podium here since then either, but it\u2019s a very different season this time around. I can see a reversal from Zandvoort and Hamilton taking this one but it wouldn\u2019t take much for Max Verstappen to win it because the cars are so closely matched.<\/p>\n I\u2019m not expecting Ferrari to win but wouldn\u2019t it be great to see the Scuderia on top of the podium with Carlos Sainz or Charles Leclerc. It\u2019s an unmissable weekend on one of the tracks that we all absolutely love seeing cars go as fast as they possibly can.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re looking for something else to watch, check out our\u00a0<\/b>TV Guid<\/b>e<\/strong><\/span><\/a> or visit our Sport<\/a> hub.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Your complete guide to the Italian Grand Prix 2021 start time, plus full TV schedule for race weekend including practice, sprint qualifying and the GP itself at Monza. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":24,"featured_media":4211,"template":"","categories":[1],"acf":[],"uagb_featured_image_src":{"full":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2021\/09\/italian-grand-prix-2021-start-time-practice-sprint-qualifying-race-schedule-on-tv.jpg",620,413,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2021\/09\/italian-grand-prix-2021-start-time-practice-sprint-qualifying-race-schedule-on-tv-150x150.jpg",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2021\/09\/italian-grand-prix-2021-start-time-practice-sprint-qualifying-race-schedule-on-tv-300x200.jpg",300,200,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2021\/09\/italian-grand-prix-2021-start-time-practice-sprint-qualifying-race-schedule-on-tv.jpg",620,413,false],"large":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2021\/09\/italian-grand-prix-2021-start-time-practice-sprint-qualifying-race-schedule-on-tv.jpg",620,413,false],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2021\/09\/italian-grand-prix-2021-start-time-practice-sprint-qualifying-race-schedule-on-tv.jpg",620,413,false],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2021\/09\/italian-grand-prix-2021-start-time-practice-sprint-qualifying-race-schedule-on-tv.jpg",620,413,false]},"uagb_author_info":{"display_name":"importmanagerhub@sprylab.com","author_link":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/author\/importmanagerhubsprylab-com\/"},"uagb_comment_info":0,"uagb_excerpt":"Your complete guide to the Italian Grand Prix 2021 start time, plus full TV schedule for race weekend including practice, sprint qualifying and the GP itself at Monza.","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rss_feed\/4210"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rss_feed"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/rss_feed"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/24"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4211"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4210"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4210"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}When is the Italian Grand Prix?<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n
