In a poll of Express Sport readers, over a quarter of 3,000 still believe that Hamilton can bridge the gap between himself and Russell. In turn, the majority of voters agree that Mercedes were correct to pit the 24-year-old. It was a dramatic race for the Mercedes pair on the Zandvoort circuit. A relatively large 30.9 per cent of voters think the legendary driver can catch his younger partner. But I’m hoping more often than not it feels like Budapest or the last race, for the rest of the races.

Respects will be paid to Her Majesty in the pit lane at Monza at 1.50pm local time, 10 minutes prior to the start of the session.

Lewis Hamilton took to social media to deliver a fitting tribute following the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.

We talked about our shared love of dogs and she was incredibly generous with her time. “I had the incredible honour of being able to spend time with her. She was a symbol of hope for so many and she served her country with dignity, dedication and kindness.

The sportsman, 37, once again turned heads in a bold look on Friday, while he spent time practicing on the first day of the Italian Grand Prix in Monza.

It is good that he has apologised, but this is not befitting a champion. After everything the team has done for him, you shouldn't be speaking to them like that.' That was the biggest f*** up.' I can't tell you how ****** I am. Accessorising: The sportsman shielded his eyes with sunglasses from his collaboration with Police, looking every inch the superstar as he added a selection of bling silver rings While the sportsman shielded his eyes with sunglasses from his collaboration with Police, looking every inch the superstar as he added a selection of bling silver rings.

The engine suffered damage in a 45G impact with Fernando Alonso at the start of the Belgian Grand Prix. However, Mercedes are understood to be looking into ways ...

But, Hamilton has admitted the Monza circuit was “great for overtaking” as he attempts to work his way through the field on Sunday. Hamilton will start at the back after taking on his fourth power unit of the season, one more than the FIA yearly allowance. Hamilton also confirmed the team were “still hopeful” they could re-use the power unit despite it being out of service for this weekend.

Max Verstappen and Sir Lewis Hamilton are among six drivers who are taking grid penalties for this weekend's Italian Grand Prix at Monza.

‘We just never really had that top speed. It should be noted however, that Monza is not a track that has been kind to Verstappen in the past, having failed to finish on the podium in all seven of his Italian Grand Prix. To the disappointment of the home crowd, Ferrari’s Sainz has been hit with a 25-place penalty and will more than likely be joined on the penultimate-row of the grid by Bottas will drop 15 places in his Alfa Romeo. While a blow for the Dutchman, he can take comfort in his recent performances that saw him win in Hungary from 10th on the grid, and in Belgium from 14th, such is the rapid pace of his Red Bull. Hamilton’s penalty was already confirmed on Thursday, and the excessive changes to his Mercedes power unit means he will start from the back of the grid at Monza. [Carlos Sainz Jr](https://metro.co.uk/tag/carlos-sainz-jr/)., Valtteri Bottas and Yuki Tsunoda are also affected, with each driver penalised for exceeding the number of new engine parts that are allowed to be fitted to their cars.

Verstappen's form might be remarkable, but his Monza record is less-than-spectacular – plus, the Red Bull star is expected to incur a grid penalty, ...

But the Dutchman is more confident about a strong showing this year. He might have bettered that record on his last two visits to the historic track, but failed to finish in either of them. Asked about his personal struggles at Monza, Verstappen explained to reporters: "I know why! But despite having plenty of attempts, he has never once finished on the podium at the Italian Grand Prix. For all the [Sebastian Vettel](https://www.mirror.co.uk/all-about/sebastian-vettel) won the race and [Mark Webber](https://www.mirror.co.uk/all-about/mark-webber) came third.

When George Russell was struggling with ERS deployment at Monza, Mercedes said it was impacting both cars. Lewis Hamilton does not concur.

“I think we’ll have to deal with it,” Russell replied. Asked if that issue was a blip in the session or if it could impact him going forward, Russell replied: “Both, to be honest. So for now, I think we’ll both just go in and do an ordinary session.” So it’s something we’ll have to deal with.” So that may make things trickier in a race scenario as they’ve got a bit more of a locker to play with. Or so the team thought.

The drivers, along with F1 chief Stefano Domenicali, took part in a minute's silence ahead of free practice at Monza on Friday, and will do so again before ...

Going ahead and also knowing her contribution to the development of the sport. Domenicali later added: "We are going to do a minute of silence with all the drivers, with everyone in the pitlane as a sign of respect because I think that is the nature of our sport. Before it was confirmed that the weekend's action would be going ahead, Domenicali said: "Formula 1 mourns the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. I know the whole nation and many others around the world will be mourning her loss and my thoughts and prayers are with her family and all those close to her, who have lost a loved one. "I had the incredible honour of being able to spend time with her. She was a symbol of hope for so many and she served her country with dignity, dedication and kindness.

The champion racer has been honoured on several occasions by the royal family, but revealed he was once reprimanded by Her Majesty.

"She has been such a strong leader for such a long, long time and so resilient," he said. But as he revealed on the Graham Norton show, he soon got a telling-off when he tried to speak to her straight away. Eventually, Her Majesty engaged in conversation with him, as Hamilton added: "She is a sweet woman and we talked about how she spends her weekends, houses and music. So when she chose to be seated next to Hamilton, he was naturally excited. As the racer revealed in a TV interview, he had been just one of eight guests at the table with The Queen.
