    6 Winners and Losers from the Italian Grand Prix – Who starred at Monza? Greg_Stuart.png

    ITALY WINNERS & LOSERS
    Winners - Monza - 2022.jpg

    Max Verstappen edged ever closer to the 2022 title with victory over
    Charles Leclerc at the Italian Grand Prix. No prizes for guessing which category he falls into this week then. But which drivers join him in our winners’ section – and which drivers left Monza wanting more?

    Winner: Max Verstappen
    “We don't need to win anymore, but we want to.” Yes, it’s true that,
    such is the luxury of Verstappen’s current position, he could finish P2
    to Charles Leclerc at every remaining race this season and still claim
    the title.

    That’s not a very Verstappen approach though, and at Monza he duly
    claimed his 11th victory of the season – surpassing his 10 from 2021 –
    with a pitch-perfect display. Despite starting P7 with an engine
    penalty, that obstacle was effectively overcome when he climbed to P3 in
    the opening laps, Red Bull then nailing the strategy as Verstappen
    claimed his fifth straight win.

    The Dutchman’s lead over Leclerc therefore grows to 116 points, with six races remaining.

    Winner: Zhou Guanyu
    Zhou Guanyu’s smile was irrepressible in the post-race media pen, after
    the Chinese driver claimed his and Alfa Romeo’s first points since
    Canada with a strong drive to P10 at Monza.

    Given other drivers ages 27 seems really, um, old for an F1 rooky these days. Probably why he did so well.

    Yeah, he did 3 years in Formula Renault, 3 years in F2, 3 years in Formula E, has driven in WEC and
    tested in Indycar (as well as a year in GP3 etc...).

    He knows how to drive which is why he's an F1 reserve driver but IMO most of his earlier results
    have come from aggression and experience rather than pure talent.
