The surprises at the Italian GP unleashed several unusual events in the recent history of Formula 1. For the first time since 2012, no Mercedes, Ferrari or Red Bull drivers took the podium, occupied by
Pierre Gasly
,
Carlos Sainz
and
Lance Stroll
.
Alpha Tauri's first victory, 12 years after
Sebastian Vettel's
with Toro Rosso, also caused a great upheaval in the bookmakers, which had to pay the highest odds in the last 10 years.
The most striking case was leaked by Veikkaus, the Finnish state-owned gaming operator.
According to this body, a bettor from the city of Tampere pocketed 33,410 euros for his choice of the trio of pilots who would go on to the podium at Monza.
The winner had only bet 20 cents on Veikkaus' odds, which stood at 166,990: 1.
The Finnish house confirmed that it is the highest quota of the last decade, almost three times what it delivered three years ago at the Azerbaijan GP.
So
Daniel Ricciardo
,
Valtteri Bottas
and Lance Stroll's
podium
in Baku paid off at 63,467: 1.
Three bettors then won just over 13,000 euros.
"A victory for this sport"
The atypical Monza Sunday was decided after a serious mistake by Mercedes, which triggered a 'stop and go' for
Lewis Hamilton
, absolute dominator since Friday's free practice.
It was the first race since 2013 in which the triumph escaped for Mercedes, Ferrari and Red Bull.
"It was a loss for Mercedes, but a victory for this sport," said
Toto Wolff
, head of the Silver Arrows.
"It's refreshing to see that podium, with young drivers fighting in the lead," added the Austrian, who this weekend will try to redeem himself at Mugello, where the Tuscan GP is held.
