An historic victory.

Exactly 4371 days since Vettel took the win for Toro Rosso in 2008.

With Pierre Gasly’s win, this is the first time a non-Ferrari, Mercedes or Red Bull driver has won a race since Kimi Räikkönen’s win in Australia 2013 with Lotus.

Pierre Gasly becomes the first French driver to win a F1 race since Olivier Panis at the 1996 Monaco Grand Prix.

With Gasly’s win, Honda becomes the first engine manufacturer since Renault in 2013 to win a race with different teams within a season. (A feat made even more remarkable that Ferrari and Merc haven’t done it, especially given the state of Honda in 2015/2016)

All from reddit.

And Renault to become Alpine F1 starting next year. Oh good. Alfa, Alpha, Alpine, Aston.
