Stroll: Italian Grand Prix was my race to lose

Lance Stroll admitted he let a first Formula One win slip through his fingers at the Italian Grand Prix, where he had to settle for third position.

Stroll was second on the grid at the mid-race restart but had a slow getaway, dropping behind eventual winner Pierre Gasly on the run down to Turn 1. Gasly inherited the lead once Lewis Hamilton served a 10-second stop-go penalty and held off McLaren's Carlos Sainz for the victory.

For Stroll, it was a second F1 podium finish, but the Canadian driver was left thinking of what might have been.
