Pierre Gasly (AlphaTauri AT01 / Honda) won the Formula 1 Italian GP, with ‘Faenza’ repeating the 2009 feat and winning a race. Carlos Sainz (McLaren MCL35 / Renault) was second and with one more lap maybe he could do it too. Great victory for the young Frenchman, who makes F1 history, again at Monza, after an absolutely crazy Grand Prix.
It all started almost normal, with Lewis Hamilton moving away in front, but with Valtteri Bottas losing ground, and the two McLarens taking the provisional podium, and from what we saw, no one would be surprised if it all ended. that way, but a problem with one of the Haas near the pitlane entrance triggered a huge set of situations that culminated in the interruption of the race, a second game and a penalty to Lewis Hamilton that took him to the last. But here we go …
Starting from pole position, Hamilton saw Valtteri Bottas lagging behind after the start, with the two McLarens taking the opportunity to move to second and third with Carlos Sainz ahead of Lando Norris. So Bottas makes a mistake in Lesmos and falls to sixth place.
Hamilton pulled away from the McLarens, but on lap 20 the safety car hit the track due to Kevin Magnussen’s stop at Haas at the entrance to the pitlane. Hamilton and Antonio giovinazzi made a mistake and entered the pits with these closed, so that the Dane’s car could safely retire.
When the race started again, several cars remained on the track, and this was just the beginning of the “shuffle and come back” of this race.
Hamilton led after the restart, ahead of Lance Stroll, Pierre Gasly, Antonio Giovinazzi, Kimi Raikkonen, Charles Leclerc, Nicholas Latifi and Carlos Sainz, but a lap later Leclerc had a major accident at Parabolica, which led back to the entry. Safety Car, and shortly after a red flag as the tire barrier needed to be repaired.
It didn’t take long for Hamilton and Giovinazzi’s 10-second Stop & go penalties to be announced and if in the case of the Italian it would not make a big difference, in the case of Hamilton it was the race leader who with the penalty it fell. finally, like the Italian when he took the penalty. Hamilton still rallied to seventh place, overtaking nine cars, but the real interest of the race lay ahead.
Before Hamilton took the penalty, another game was stopped, Hamilton took the lead but went to the pits at the end of his first lap, Pierre Gasly appeared in front of Kimi Raikkonen and Antonio Giovinazzi, Carlos Sainz, Lance Stroll, Lando Norris, Valtteri Bottas, Daniel Riccardo, Esteban Ocon and Dannil Kvyat, in 10th. Verstappen was late and gave up shortly after with a Honda engine problem, his first retirement after six consecutive podium finishes. Sainz overtook Raikkonen and soon after Stroll did the same.
On lap 41, Gasly was 2,912 seconds ahead of Sainz, Stroll was third with 3,701s. Six laps later, Gasly had just 1,604 for Sainz, who with two laps to go was now able to open the DRS, running less than a second. However, it was not in time, despite two attempts to overtake the Frenchman who thus achieved his first F1 victory and offered the second to the men of Faenza, who on this same track, 11 years ago, had the same ‘offer ‘by Sebastain Vettel.
