Unpredictability can still happen. As Alex Kalinauckas points out in our report on page 18, Gasly’s victory wasn’t just about luck. Yes, it took a blunder from Lewis Hamilton and Mercedes and fortuitous safety car timing, but Gasly still had to make the most of his opportunity.

It was the first by a French driver since Olivier Panis’s 1996 Monaco GP success, the first victory outside of the ‘big three’ of Mercedes, Ferrari and Red Bull since 2013, and the podium of Gasly/Sainz/Lance Stroll is the third youngest in F1 championship history (to the 2019 Brazilian and 2008 Italian GPs). Gasly is the 109th driver to win a world championship race. Logic and the law of averages dictate that another surprise result this weekend is unlikely, but the first GP at Mugello is a step into the unknown – and Ferrari will celebrate its 1000th start.

Gasly and Sainz provide a breath of fresh air for Formula 1

Genuine shocks are rare in modern Formula 1. The cars and teams are normally too reliable for all the usual frontrunners to hit trouble, which is one reason why Pierre Gasly’s Italian Grand Prix victory has been so warmly received. Unpredictability can still happen.

As Alex Kalinauckas points out in our report on page 18, Gasly’s victory wasn’t just about luck. Yes, it took a blunder from Lewis Hamilton and Mercedes and fortuitous safety car timing, but Gasly still had to make the most of his opportunity. He didn’t crack as a very motivated and feisty Carlos Sainz Jr closed him down, no mean achievement given what he’s been through over the past year (p13).

Gasly’s win represented several milestones. It was the first by a French driver since Olivier Panis’s 1996 Monaco GP success, the first victory outside of the ‘big three’ of Mercedes, Ferrari and Red Bull since 2013, and the podium of Gasly/Sainz/Lance Stroll is the third youngest in F1 championship history (to the 2019 Brazilian and 2008 Italian GPs). Gasly is the 109th driver to win a world championship race.

Logic and the law of averages dictate that another surprise result this weekend is unlikely, but the first GP at Mugello is a step into the unknown – and Ferrari will celebrate its 1000th start.
