Auto - News: Agostini gives checkered flag to Verstappen winner at Monza ahead of Leclerc

It was the unmatched Giacomo Agostini, 15 world titles, who gave the checkered flag at the Monza GP, won by Verstappen ahead of Leclerc. It was his fifth win in a row, his 11th of the season.

An opportunity for a final duel between Max and Charles was missed...although the lead taken by Verstappen before the entry of the safety, 16"6 certifies the Red Bull driver's success.
