Lewis Hamilton surpassed Sir Jackie Stewart’s win tally of 27 as he secured victory at the 2014 Italian Grand Prix ahead of team-mate Nico Rosberg.
The Briton started on pole but a troubled start dropped him to fourth, allowing Rosberg to open a gap in the lead ahead of the quick starting Kevin Magnussen.
Valtteri Bottas also got away slowly and dropped to tenth but eventually managed to recover to fourth behind team-mate Felipe Massa.
Hamilton forced his way past Massa and Magnussen before he began to close in on Rosberg, but the German cracked under the pressure and cut the chicane, allowing the Briton to take the lead where he remained until the 53rd and final lap.
Daniel Ricciardo finished fifth thanks to some brilliant overtakes, including one on team-mate Sebastian Vettel.
Kevin Magnussen finished seventh but was hit with a five-second penalty which was added after the race and therefore drops him to P10.
