MONZA, Italy—Red Bull’s Max Verstappen dashed Ferrari’s home hopes and won the Italian Grand Prix behind the safety car on Sunday to move within reach of his second Formula One world championship.

The Dutch 24-year-old’s victory at the “Temple of Speed,” in a race that ended disappointingly and to boos from the crowd, was Verstappen’s fifth in a row and 11th from 16 races this season.
