Lewis Hamilton of Mercedes would have the two Red Bulls of Max Verstappen and Daniel Ricciardo to accompany him at the front of the F1 Italian Grand Prix starting grid if not for a series of grid place penalties handed out to the two drivers. Instead, Lance Stroll of Williams and Esteban Ocon of Force India will round out the top three on Sunday.

A rough qualifying session has the starting grid for the Italian Grand Prix looking very interesting.


The race will begin at 8 a.m. ET and will be broadcast by NBCSN in the United States. A live stream of the race will also be available online at NBC Sports in web browsers or via the NBC Sports app on various devices.
Verstappen was given a 20-place grid penalty while Ricciardo was given one for 25 places, both due to engine chances. Nico Hulkenberg and Jolyon Palmer of Renault, Carlos Sainz Jr. of Toro Rosso and Fernando Alonso of McLaren all had significant grid place penalties for engine issues and will join the Red Bulls at the back of the grid.
Romain Grosjean of the American-owned Haas will start at the very back of the grid after crashing in the first qualifying session. It was a rainy session, which allowed Stroll and Ocon to make it into the front three rows. Valtteri Bottas of Mercedes rounds out the top two rows in fourth.
Sebastian Vettel, the Drivers Championship points leader, will occupy the third row with Ferrari teammate Kimi Raikkonen after a rough qualifying session. Felipe Massa of Williams and Stoffel Vandoorne of McLaren occupy the fourth row, while the top 10 is rounded out by Sergio Perez of Force India and Daniil Kvyat of Toro Rosso.
