RacingNews365 spoke to F1 race winner Jean Alesi on Max Verstappen’s Italian GP victory!
Former F1 driver Jean Alesi highlighted the key strength that allowed Max Verstappen to dominate the Italian Grand Prix without any tricks. Verstappen comfortably converted pole position into victory at Monza, finishing almost 20 seconds ahead of Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri. He set a record-breaking performance by securing pole with the quickest lap in F1 history based on average speed, completing the race in just over 73 minutes. The win, Verstappen’s third of the year, marked a significant breakthrough for Red Bull at Monza with a new floor improving the RB21’s performance and balance. Alesi noted that Verstappen’s strong performance without a tow during qualifying and maintaining pace on blistered tyres in the race were key factors in his success. McLaren’s winning streak was halted, attributing their loss in Italy to Red Bull’s improved balance on the Monza circuit with its unique rear wing characteristics.
