Oscar Piastri: Third in Italian Grand Prix

Piastri finished third in the Italian Grand Prix Formula 1 race at the Monza Circuit on Sunday afternoon.

Analysis:

The McLaren youngster would fall under immediate pressure from Charles Leclerc from the start and surrender P3 to him on lap 2. However, Piastri would rally back on lap 6 and overtake the Ferrari star to reclaim third-place. He would settle in and build a gap back to Leclerc and solidify his hold on P3. Piastri would pit on lap 45, one lap before Lando Norris and would get into P2 as a result of Norris' poor pit stop. Team orders would have Piastri give the spot back down the stretch and he would end up finishing third on the day. It was his series-leading 14th podium of the season.
