In the early stages of the GP at Monza, Piastri was leading but had to chase the one-stopping Charles Leclerc later on, as he was on a two-stop strategy. Despite Leclerc managing his tires, Piastri pushed hard to close a significant gap with 15 laps remaining. Piastri had to overtake Sainz, deliver flawless laps, and navigate backmarkers to challenge Leclerc for the win. During his pursuit, Piastri encountered Stroll, who did not follow blue flag instructions, costing him valuable time. Ultimately, Piastri fell short by 2.6s, acknowledging that winning was a long shot but he pushed to his limits. Despite missing out on victory, Piastri believed the team’s decision to opt for a two-stop strategy was the correct one due to tire graining concerns.
