Gasly wins 'crazy' Italian Grand Prix as Hamilton hit by penaltyOvercome: Pierre Gasly celebrates on the podium after winning the Italian Grand PrixMONZA (ITALY) - Pierre Gasly secured a maiden Formula One triumph on Sunday when he won a tumultuous Italian Grand Prix for the Alpha Tauri team after crashes, penalties and safety cars had tipped expectations upside down at Monza. "It was such a crazy race," said Gasly. Gasly, who was dropped by Red Bull to rejoin the junior sister team last year, jumped for joy as he leapt from his car, was the first French driver to win a Grand Prix since Olivier Panis was triumphant at the 1996 Monaco Grand Prix. Stroll said: "It's been a couple of years since I was on the podium so it's good to be back." Despite the penalty, Hamilton still managed to extend his record run to 41 successive points finishes.
