MONZA, Italy (AP) Kimi Antonelli won the Italian Grand Prix on Sunday, despite having started 19th on the grid.
It took the Mercedes driver fewer than 17 laps to fight his way to the front.
The rest of the race was spent tussling with teammate and title rival George Russell for the lead. Antonelli passed him for the final time with three laps remaining, going on to become the first Italian to win at Monza in 60 years.
Oh my god ... it feels like a dream, Antonelli said.
That at least gave the crowd something to cheer about after Ferraris Charles Leclerc crashed out of the scuderias home race early on. In the other Ferrari, Lewis Hamilton finished sixth.
It was Antonellis seventh win of the season and his fledgling F1 career and extended his lead in the overall standings to 66 points ahead of Russell.

【意大利蒙扎】美联社消息：基米·安东内利（Kimi Antonelli）周日在意大利大奖赛中夺冠，尽管他最初仅排在第19位发车。
这位梅赛德斯车手用了不到17圈便成功突围至领先位置。
比赛剩余时间里，安东内利与队友兼冠军竞争对手乔治·拉塞尔持续争夺领跑位置。在最后三圈时，安东内利完成决定性超越，最终成为60年来首位在蒙扎赛道夺冠的意大利车手。
“天啊……这感觉就像一场梦，”安东内利说道。
至少这让观众在法拉利车队的夏尔·勒克莱尔（Charles Leclerc）早早退出主场比赛后，还能找到欢呼的理由。而驾驶另一辆法拉利赛车的刘易斯·汉密尔顿（Lewis Hamilton）最终以第六名完赛。
这是安东内利（Antonelli）本赛季的第七场胜利——也是他初入F1职业生涯的第七冠——并将他在总积分榜上对拉塞尔（Russell）的领先优势扩大至66分。
