France

“Le Figaro”: “Pierre Gasly takes France back to the top of Formula 1. Who would have thought that France would celebrate a new Formula 1 winner on September 6, 2020? More than 24 years after Olivier Panis’ feat in Monaco on May 19, 1996, the Marseillaise resounded that Sunday at the end of an Italian Grand Prix that was full of surprises and twists and turns and unbearable tension. “

Britain

“The Guardian”: “The winner, Frenchman Pierre Gasly, was an emotional figure, a mixture of disbelief, ecstasy and pride as the music reverberated around the circuit. (…) In contrast, a seemingly certain victory for Lewis Hamilton was turned to ashes when motorsport reminded them that it can be a cruel sport. “

“Daily mirror”: “Lewis Hamilton’s penalty finally paved the way for a surprise winner as Pierre Gasly crossed the finish line as the winner at Monza and secured Alpha Tauri an incredible home win.”

“The Telegraph”: “Hamilton’s misstep sparked the best race of the year and gave the sport a huge boost after a series of predictable events.”

Pierre Gasly can hardly believe his own victory

Spain

“The vanguard”: “Carlos Sainz was one step away from the glory of his first victory. The Madrid driver finished second in the Italian GP after a spectacular chase behind Pierre Gasly (AlphaTauri), who achieved his first victory in a wild red flag race. “

“Brand”: “Carlos Sainz was very close to heaven. He achieved his best result so far at Monza and is now the fourth Spanish driver after Alfonso de Portago, Fernando Alonso and Pedro de la Rosa, who finished second in a Formula 1 race. A day to remember. And that in a unique setting, in the temple of speed, where he knew how to keep the competition at a distance ”.

“How”: “A bittersweet podium for Carlos Sainz. Who would have thought that second place in the Italian Grand Prix, the second podium of his career, would not taste like much. Monza was crazy, an incredible race, the Madrilene was brilliant, but 6 September 2020 should be the day that Pierre Gasly defeated reason at Alpha Tauri and achieved his first victory in Formula 1. “

Germany

“Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung”: “The true strength of Mercedes is not reflected in the result at Monza, where Gasly achieved what brings Formula 1 to life: a surprise party.”

“Southgerman’s newspaper”: ‘Red dominoes’ (…)’ The renewed and life-threatening failure of the two Ferraris has exceptionally decisive effects on the Monza Grand Prix: as clear leader Lewis Hamilton is punished, Pierre Gasly celebrates a sensational debut victory after a turbulent race. “

“Image”: “Just poke fun at Ferrari garbage. (…) Vettel only found ridicule over Ferrari scrap. When asked about his plans for next week, the four-time world champion said into the RTL microphone: ‘I’ll be sitting in the simulator on Tuesday. At least the car stops … ‘”

Italy

“The Republic”: “Double final for the Ferraris at Monza, which hasn’t happened since 1995 (Alesi-Berger). After catastrophic qualifications, the home race (…) offers the same image for Maranello as the last Grand Prix: a debacle. “

“Corriere dello Sport”: “Nightmare for Ferrari: A double withdrawal. Gasly’s achievement. The Italian Grand Prix was amazing! “

“The impression”: Endless nightmare. Ferrari is going from bad to worse. From defeat to defeat, the situation in the Constructors’ Championship is becoming ominous. “

“Tuttosport”: “Red shame. Vettel knocked out due to brake damage, Leclerc flies off the track. Ferrari disintegrates into its individual parts.”
