Winners: The Tifosi
Every year, the Tifosi come to Monza in their droves with the dream of seeing a Ferrari driver standing on the top step of the podium.
After qualifying there was hope – even if McLaren and Mercedes looked strong – and on Sunday, the Scuderia’s race pace and bold strategy call to do a one-stop helped Leclerc win to make the Tifosi that packed the grandstands erupt.
Loser: Kevin Magnussen
Kevin Magnussen converted 13th, his highest start at Monza since 2018, into P10 and his first point at the Italian race for 10 years.
However, not only would it have been even better without a penalty for causing a collision with Pierre Gasly demoting him from ninth to 10th after the chequered flag but the penalty points he accrued with the punishment have pushed him over the limit and thus he has been banned from racing in Baku.
