Gasly wins dramatic Italian GP, Ferrari drivers fail to finish race
AlphaTauri's Pierre Gasly won a crash-filled Italian Grand Prix at the Autodromo Nazionale di Monza on Sunday.
It's Gasly's first career Formula 1 victory.
McLaren's Carlos Sainz finished second and Racing Point's Lance Stroll rounded out a surprising podium at Monza. All three drivers came into the Italian GP with only one top-three finish each.
The f̶i̶r̶s̶t̶ second of many?! 🍾

Gasly was 0.415 seconds quicker than Sainz and 3.358 ahead of Stroll.
Sebastian Vettel and Charles Leclerc continued a miserable weekend for Ferrari, as both drivers failed to finish the race at the team's home grand prix. The former retired with brake failure after slamming into barriers, while the latter crashed into a wall.
Reigning F1 champion Lewis Hamilton placed seventh. He was handed a 10-second penalty for entering pit lane when closed earlier in the race.
