The Dutch driver Max Verstappen (Red Bull) won the Formula 1 Grand Prix, played this Sunday in the Monza circuit, ahead of the McLaren from English Lando Norris and the Australian Oscar Piestri, who remains a World Cup leader.
In the famous Circuit de Monza, very close to the headquarters of the mythical Scuderia, the Ferrari of Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton ended up in the fourth and the sixth place.
It is the third victory this season for the world's tetracampeon (after Japan and Emilia-Romaña) and Verstappen puts an end to a streak of five consecutive triumphs of McLaren.
“The car was very manageable, I have been able to manage the rhythm and we have stopped at the stand at the right time,” Verstappen summed up on the race.
Despite the victory, the possibilities of revalidating the title for Verstappen are tiny.
31 PIASTRI points to Norris
In the absence of eight races for the end of the season, the Dutch adds 230 points in the World Cup classification and is still far from Piastri, leader with 324 units, 31 more than his partner Norris.
“This is one of those weekends in which we are somewhat slower, but the battle has been pretty,” Norris said.
“I have done everything I could today. I have tried to fight with Max, but he has overcome me and has deserved it,” insisted English.
This time, McLaren's strategy benefited Norris. The English was overcome by Piastri after a boxing stop to change tires, but the British team ordered the Australian to return the second position to his partner.
The moment of McLaren's controversial decision in Monza
In Monza there was a fairly tasteless race, since the first five classified on the output grid ended in those same positions, without changes.
Not even the possibility of seeing a Ferrari climbing the podium gave excitement to the race, since Monegasco Leclerc ended up more than four seconds from Piastri.
Fiasco de Ferrari Ante Sus Fans
Ferrari tifosi, who took the stands of “her” circuit, did vibrate at the beginning of the race, when Hamilton, with a great comeback, went from the tenth place on the grill (fulfilling a sanction of five positions) to the sixth, but the seven -time world champion could not do more and stayed after his ex -partner in Mercedes George Russell.
Thai Alexander Albon (Williams), the Brazilian Gabriel Bortoleto (Sauber), the Italian Andrea Kimi Antonelli (Mercedes) and the Frenchman Isack Hadjar (Racing Bulls) completed the Top 10.
Especially meritorious is the result of the young Hadjar, who a week after achieving the first podium of his career this Sunday he entered the points despite leaving the stand (as well as his compatriot Pierre Gasly), penalized by a engine change in his car.
The Spanish Carlos Sainz (Williams) was close to entering the points (11th) and his veteran compatriot Fernando Alonso abandoned by mechanical problems in his Aston Martin.
The Argentine Franco Colapinto still does not find a way to tame his Alpine and ended in the 16th place.
