Ricciardo was
followed by his McLaren teammate Lando Norris in the British team's first win
since the 2012 Brazilian GP, while Valtteri Bottas will take third despite
starting in last place due to a five-second time penalty for Sergio Perez.
Red Bull's Verstappen
leads seven-time world champion
Hamilton by five points at the top of the
drivers' standings as they both finished in the gravel following their crash
halfway through the race.
Ricciardo, 32,
promised "total attack" after starting second on the grid and made
the most of the most dramatic moment of an eventful race when Hamilton
re-entered the Monza track from the pit lane.
Verstappen tried to
dart past Hamilton just after the Briton's pit stop but ended up with his back
wheel rolling over the top of his rival's Mercedes, narrowly missing Hamilton's
head.
Both drivers then
slid into the gravel and were forced to retire from the race, which Hamilton
was hoping to make his 100th Grand Prix victory.
Verstappen was
reportedly furious at Hamilton, saying his rival gave him "no space"
in a crash which will be investigated by officials.
Ricciardo then
powered to victory backed up by his teammate Norris and was ecstatic as the
pair earned McLaren's first one-two finish in 11 years.
