The race is on, and the 2020 Formula One season hit back with a spectacular race at Monza,

with Pierre Gazley taking one of the most unexpected victories in years,

after holding off a McLaren driver Carlos Seitz in a remarkable Grand Prix.

They say lighting doesn't strike twice, but it did for the Ex-Minardi team as it bagged its second Formula One victory, 12 years on from the first.

I'm Ed Straw and joining me to celebrate a remarkable day as Scott Mitchell and Mark Hughes.

Scott, days like this, just brilliant, aren't they?

Off the back of two straightforward races, this is exactly what F1 needed, isn't it?

Yeah, two straightforward races and a season in which the Mercedes

dominance is becoming a bit old hat.

Lewis Hamilton's not even being challenged by Valtry Bottas, so F1 really, really needed

this, and I felt it had everything, I thought it was, I thought it's got the confusion and chaos of that, of that, the, the, the, the incident that cost Lewis Hamilton with the pit lane.

And then I don't like one of those, I don't like the, the free change of ties under the safety car.

But just everything about the race just sort of added up to like this, like a bit of drama, a bit of drama, lots of complexities, lots of fun. And I thought, anyway, I thought it was the best race of the V6 turbo hybrid era because it had all of that chaos. It had a different winner and it also had a battle that went right down to the final lap. So I was genuinely, this not even metaphorical, I was actually on the edge of my seat

on the final lap. I was genuinely, it's very rare, I think, that races have me so invested like that

with that interest. It just took me back to my, the old days of being a bit of a

fan. I know exactly how you feel. I stood up for some of it because it was just,

just such a fascinating thing to watch. A one-man Mexican wave. Exactly. Yeah, exactly. Mark,

now the last time this happened, we were both there at Monza back in 2008 when Vettel won for Toro Rosso.

And that race and the celebrations always stick in my memory.

Did this one feel similar or did the absence of the Defosi maybe take the edge off?

It felt absolutely similar and even better as it was happening.

And it had more tension to it than that one.
