Alpha Tauri racer, Pierre Gasly, came out as the winner of Formula 1 (F1) Italian GP. In the race that was held at the Autodromo Nazionale Monza Circuit, Gasly beat Carlos Sainz (McLaren) and Lance Stroll (Racing Point) who finished second and third respectively. This is Pierre Gasly's first win in F1 this season.
No doubt, the French racer was unable to hide his joy after appearing surprising. Pierre Gasly is the first French racer to win an F1 race series since Olivier Panis at Monaco in 1996. Gasly is also the second AlphaTauri / Toro Rosso rider to win the race after Sebastian Vettel's win at Monza in 2008. Meanwhile, the previous series winner, Lewis Hamilton ( Mercedes) had to settle for finishing in seventh position at the F1 Italian GP this time. For the first time since the 2012 Hungarian Grand Prix, there was no Ferrari, Red Bull or Mercedes racer on the podium.
Sebastian Vettel was the first to pull out of the race due to brake failure. The problem made him go off the track and finally back into the pits. The drama started on lap 20 when Kevin Magnusen pulled over to the edge of the track, not far from the pit entrance. The safety car entered the track. This moment was then used by Hamilton and Antonio Giovinazzi to enter the pit, which was considered a violation because the pit was closed when the safety car entered the track. This incident is reviewed while the race resumes. But not long after, on lap 24 to be precise, the safety car returned to the track after Leclerc had an accident. He lost control of his car and hit the parapet.
There was no change in the leading positions until the race was complete. Gasly finished first, followed by Sainz and Stroll who completed the podium.
