Scuderia Ferrari won versus all expectations in the Italian Grand Prix at the Monza circuit thanks to the one-stop method. The Prancing Horse attained a genuinely “miraculous” accomplishment that captured McLaren by surprise.

While Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris made 2 rest stop, the 2 Ferrari motorists stopped just as soon as. Carlos Sainz exposed how Ferrari handled to make this method work, which eventually led Charles Leclerc to triumph at the Monza GP.

“I think it was in the 10-15 laps or so of the second stint when we realized that the degradation on the hards wasn’t huge,” described the Spaniard to the media.

“As soon as the others stopped, the tires were almost worn out. And then, for some reason, Charles and I entered a phase of high degradation on the hards. Then, miraculously, they recovered. And that’s what allowed us to make it to the end,” he continued.

Driver #55 explained that there was a minute in the race when tire management was important, however the last ten laps were definitive: “We maintained a decent pace until the end.”

Ferrari group principal Frederic Vasseur included that the Maranello group needed to pick in between making one or 2 stops. And it was Carlos Sainz who initially recognized that the one-stop method would work.

“In this kind of race with 53 laps, you can think about making one stop. While in some cases, you might think about making two. Carlos anticipated a bit more that we could make it with just one stop. Perhaps unconsciously, you think that and push a little less,” stated the group principal at the end of the Italian Grand Prix.
