“How did Piastri win the race?”

Oscar Piastri secured victory by executing a near-perfect race strategy combined with strong pace management and a clean start. He defended his pole position at Turn 1, maintained consistent tire performance, and followed a two-stop strategy using medium tires before switching to hard compounds later in the race.

“What's the difference between DRS and ERS?”

DRS (Drag Reduction System) is a mechanical system that reduces aerodynamic drag by opening a flap on the rear wing, activated in designated zones when within 1 second of the car ahead. ERS (Energy Recovery System) is part of the power unit that recovers and deploys electrical energy to boost acceleration, with drivers having a limited amount per lap to use strategically.

“Why are Ferrari struggling with tire degradation this race?”

Ferrari's current tire degradation issues stem from their car setup favoring qualifying performance over race pace. They're running higher temperatures in the rear tires due to suspension geometry and aerodynamic balance choices. The hotter track temperatures today are amplifying these issues, particularly on medium compounds.

“Who has the most wins at Monza?”

Lewis Hamilton and Michael Schumacher share the record for most wins at Monza with 5 victories each. Ferrari is the most successful constructor at the Italian Grand Prix with 19 wins at this historic track, reflecting their strong connection with their home race.
