Pierre Gas𓆏ly says h🙈e is struggling to come to terms with his “unbelievable” shock maiden Formula 1 victory during a topsy-turvy Italian Grand Prix.

Starting 10th, Gasly rose up the order and lined up third on thꦍe grid after a red flag period caused by Charles Leclerc’s massive crash at the Parabolica.

The Frenchman capitalised on a poor restart from Lance Stroll to move i🤡nto second place, which became first when Lewis Hamilton served a stop/go penalty for pitting when the pit lane entry was closed during a Safety Car period for Kevin Magnussen’s parked Haas.

Gasly resisted late pressure from McLaren’s Carlos Sainz to hold seal his f💫irst F1 win by les💜s than half a second.

“It’s unbelievable,”🍰 Gasly said. “I’m not realising what’s happening right now.

“It was such a crazy race. We capitalised on the red flag. The car was fast out there, we had a pretty fast car𝓰 behind us.

“I’ve been🌜 through so much in the space of 18 months. My first podium in Formula 1 last year, I was already feeling “wow”, with AlphaTauri, and now my first win in Formula 1 in Monza, I’m struggling to realise [it].”

It marked a second F1 v🐲ictory for AlphaTauri and its first since the 2008 Italian Grand Pr🐠ix – also at Monza – and Gasly paid tribute to his team.

“I have no words,” Gasly said. “This team has done so much for me, they gave me my 🌌f🅠irst opportunity in Formula 1, they gave me my first podium. Now they are giving me my first win, it’s just crazy.

“I’m so happy. I can’t thank them enough, everybody from AlphaTauri to Honda. This is a🥂 power sensitive track and we won the race in front of all the Mercedes, Ferrari and Renault cars. It’s just an amazing day.”

Gasly has become the frist French driver to win a race si𒊎nce Oliver Panis won the 1996 Monaco🎃 Grand Prix.

"I've always said coming in F1 that's one thing we need tꩲo change, because it's been so long,” Ga🔯sly explained.

"I never expected that it would happen to us with AlphaTauri. We just kept focusing on ourselves since last year, working impro💙ving step by step.

"It's crazy, honestly. I'm just so happy."
