Lewis Hamilton believes Red Bull did not treat Pierre Gasly fairly last year and will be hurting as a result of the Frenchman’s victory in the Italian Grand Prix.
Gasly won an incredible race at Monza that saw Hamilton hit with a 10-second stop-and-go penalty for pitting when the pit entry was closed, allowing the AlphaTauri driver to lead every lap following a red flag period. Gasly — who was dropped by Red Bull after just 12 races last year — showed impressive resolve to hold off the closing Carlos Sainz in the final laps, and Hamilton had words of praise for the 24-year-old while also criticizing Red Bull’s handling of the situation.
