Verstappen mainly to blame
Disaster struck on lap 26. Verstappen's car catapulted onto the top of the Mercedes as both slid into the gravel. The Red Bull driver will have a three-place grid drop at the September 26 Russian Grand Prix after stewards ruled he was mainly to blame for the collision. He is still ahead in the championship by 5 points.

Hamilton credits protective halo
Hamilton, who walked away with a sore neck, said the protective halo at the front of F1 car cockpits might have saved his life. This was the second major incident between the two in as many months. They clashed at the British GP, after which Hamilton was handed a 10-second penalty and Verstappen hospitalised.

Champagne time
Ricciardo, meanwhile, celebrated in his traditional style on the iconic Monza podium, drinking champagne from his shoe. He also got his teammate Lando Norris to do the same thing.
