MoneyGram Haas F1 Team finished with Oliver Bearman 12th, and Esteban Ocon 15th, at the Italian Grand Prix, held Sunday at Autodromo Nazionale Monza.
Esteban started from P15 on hard tires and gained two positions on the opening lap, before being shuffled down to P14. Esteban ran a long first stint but was handed a five-second time penalty for forcing Lance Stroll off track into the second chicane. Esteban served the penalty during his sole pit stop, on lap 51 of 53, and fitted Red soft tires for the short blast to the checkered flag, where he took P15.
MoneyGram Haas F1 Team holds ninth position in the Constructors’ Championship, on 44 points.
Red Bull Racing’s Max Verstappen claimed victory, his third of the season, ahead of McLaren duo Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri.
Esteban Ocon: “We tried as a team to try and stay out and do something different. The tires were getting better every lap, so there was no point in boxing and losing it all, so we stayed out long. Unfortunately, we didn’t have the best qualifying yesterday and that put us further back than we should be. There’s been some good learning from this weekend, and we’ll come back stronger.”
