- A hatched block means the outlet is affiliated with, or controlled by, a state.
Political lean describes where an outlet sits within the politics of its own country. It is never a position on a single global scale.
Political lean is comparable inside one country and not across them, which is why the bar groups by country first. Publicly funded broadcasters are not marked as state-linked.

Kimi Antonelli won the Formula 1 Italian Grand Prix at Monza after starting the race in 19th position. The Italian driver for Mercedes secured the victory over teammate George Russell and Max Verstappen, who finished second and third respectively. Some reports indicate that Russell yielded the lead to Antonelli due to team orders, while others highlight Antonelli's superior pace on newer tires. Antonelli's victory marks the first time an Italian has won his home grand prix since 1966.
The race was marked by a severe early accident involving Ferrari driver Charles Leclerc. Leclerc lost control of his car in the Parabólica curve during the second or third lap, impacting the barriers at an estimated speed of 240 kilometers per hour. The crash triggered a red flag and a 30 minute suspension of the race to allow for barrier repairs. Leclerc walked away from the wreckage uninjured, though he appeared shaken. Prior to the crash, Leclerc had been involved in a dispute with teammate Lewis Hamilton during the start of the race.
Argentine driver Franco Colapinto experienced a volatile race. After the restart, Colapinto climbed as high as third place before a mistake sent him off track, causing him to drop to 16th position. He eventually recovered to finish in 9th place. Additionally, the FIA issued Colapinto a reprimand for failing to follow race director instructions during a practice start before the race began.
Other notable results included Pierre Gasly finishing seventh after starting from pole position. Sergio Perez finished 18th for Cadillac, while Lance Stroll and Fernando Alonso did not finish the race.
