Palmer: Another incredible overtake by Piastri

      Former Formula 1 driver and F1TV columnist Jolyon Palmer was impressed by the daring overtake Oscar Piastri pulled off in his battle with Charles Leclerc on the first lap of the Italian Grand Prix…

      Jolyon Palmer: “I can’t recall anyone ever overtaking on the outside at the first Lesmo. It’s practically impossible. An unexpected trick, worthy of the best magician — and a huge risk.

      If they had collided, Piastri would almost certainly have retired — he would have been pushed left onto the grass and into the barrier. Attacking in that spot is really very risky. You have to calculate everything and not doubt your abilities for a second. You need complete confidence here.

      But the pass worked. We saw another incredible manoeuvre from Oscar on the first lap.”
