Max Verstappen is eyeing a record-breaking 10th F1 win in a row as the paddock rolls around to Monza for the Italian Grand Prix this weekend. Verstappen, picking up where he left off before the summer break, won his home race in the Netherlands last week to equal Sebastian Vettel’s record of nine consecutive grand prix triumphs. The Dutchman, who now has a mammoth 138-point lead in the championship over team-mate Sergio Perez, is the overwhelming favourite in Italy having also won in Monza last year. Mercedes endured a difficult weekend last time out in Zandvoort but will be buoyed by the news that both Lewis Hamilton and George Russell have signed contract extensions until the end of the 2025 season. As for Ferrari, they head into their home race short of form having not won a race since Austria last year but will be hoping for a strong performance in front of the home tifosi crowd. Fernando Alonso, too, will be looking to back up his podium in Zandvoort with another top-three showing at Monza.

The global transfer spending record has been broken this summer, according to figures from Transfermarkt. Football clubs worldwide have spent a combined £6.56 billion on 1,617 players so far, surpassing the previous high for a single window of £6.51bn set in 2019. The Premier League is comfortably the highest-spending division, with £2.1bn invested in 269 players over the summer months. Chelsea have spent £359 million on new signings, and that figure could rise to around £400m if a deadline day deal for Cole Palmer is completed.
