Angående Piastris omkörning av Norris på första varvet:
What would Verstappen, Lewis Hamilton or Fernando Alonso have done in that situation? That’s the question routinely asked whenever Norris’s weaknesses are exploited.
The answer at Monza on Sunday came easily: they would have happily banged wheels with Piastri and/or ran him out of road.
Over. My. Dead. Body.
Whatever it took, whatever the situation required, they would have done it to ensure that they did not fall behind their own team-mate at the start of a race they really couldn’t afford to lose.
And if the method of their defence breached some pre-race team agreement? So what?
They would have done it anyway and debated the rights and wrongs of it later. To hell with your papaya rules.
Cuddly little Lando was once again too generous, too accommodating, on that opening lap, almost losing control of his own car in his heart-stopping desperation to avoid contact with Piastri.
Italian GP conclusions: Time for Norris to toughen up, Verstappen to resist temptation
Ferrari driver Charles Leclerc claimed his second F1 2024 win at the Italian Grand Prix, with Oscar Piastri second and Lando Norris third.
