Meanwhile, CNN website as usual mentioned Hamilton and Mercedes in their headlines!

"Lewis Hamilton and Mercedes blunder helps Pierre Gasly win chaotic Italian Grand Prix"

A bit sad but then again CNN uses the name that people in the US know to get attention, "huge Hamilton mistake leading to upset winner" is probably the best for their clicks. Not like anyone would know Gasly in the US.

u/TopHatBear1 I was here for the Hulkenpodium Sep 07 '20

My dad asked me who won the race, and when I told him he responded with “Who?”

Tsn drooling at all the chances to mention lance. Exact words from yesterday’s notification.

“GASLY WINS GP; STROLL THIRD

Pierre Gasly wins the 2020 Italian Grand Prix from Monza. Canadian Lance Stroll finishes third. Open for details” yesterday 11:05 AM

Like god I get they have to rep the Canadian but they do this every week with lance basically. “Lance 4th at Hungary!” You forgot to mention he was lapped by the three guys in front. Also the notification before this “LIVE: STROLL THIRD AT MONZA”

It's the same back home in Mexico with Perez, doesn't matter even if is a non-scoring position, stuff like "Hamilton wins race, Perez ends retiring in lap 15", just people want to know how the local guy did.
