In 2020, in a day full of twists and turns, the McLaren driver was a few tenths of a second away from taking the crown at the Italian Autodrome. Although It was Pierre Gasly who took the win, who knows what would have happened if the match had gone a round or two longer.
Beyond that 2020, in his first experience at 2015 made a big comeback, going from 17th to 11th. In fact, in the first round he was already in the points but Daniil Kvyat’s Red Bull eventually overtook him.
In 2022 he had to penalize due to power unit changes, so he started 18th despite qualifying 3rd. Despite this, the Spaniard managed to move up places at a very high speed and in less than 20 laps he was already in the top 5. Unfortunately, the non-resumption of the match after the safety car prevented him from competing for the podium.
