Win pulls Red Bull racer to within two victories off all-time record for a single season.
Max Verstappen made it five Formula 1 race wins in a row and 11 for the season with victory in the F1 Italian Grand Prix on Sunday at Monza.Verstappen’s Title Cruise Continues
Ferrari’s response to a Virtual Safety Car period caused by Sebastian Vettel’s stoppage committed them to a two-stop strategy with initial leader Leclerc, but Verstappen stayed out and ran the usual—and faster—one-stop approach. From there the die was cast, leaving Verstappen first and Leclerc second.
Daniel Ricciardo’s stricken car, in an awkward position on the track, became stuck in gear while marshals attempted to remove it. That meant a tractor was needed, which could only be deployed once the field had bunched behind the Safety Car. “There are rules and they are written down and from my perspective, whether I’m Abu Dhabi traumatized or not, these rules have been followed to the dot today,” said Mercedes boss Toto Wolff. “There was a car out on track, there was marshals, and a crane out there. That's why they didn't let anybody overtake. And then it was not enough time to restart the race once all cars crashed out.
De Vries qualified in 13th place, ahead of experienced teammate Nicholas Latifi, but was shuffled forward to eighth on the grid due to a range of penalties elsewhere. De Vries appeared every bit the experienced midfield racer, rather than a rookie, throughout the 53-lap race.
