Red Bull dedicates win to lost team member

2011 Italian Formula 1 Grand Prix: Sunday race results

Red Bull Racing has dedicated its Italian Grand Prix victory to staff member Erin Pezzella. The 31-year-old passed away last week after battling cancer.

“To win at Monza is a dream come true and it was a really dominant performance by Sebastian (Vettel),” Team Principal Christian Horner is quoted as saying by Planet F1. It was a great day for the team and a phenomenal result at a track which, on paper, wasn't supposed to be our best.

“Very sadly though, earlier this week we lost a young girl who worked for the team for five years in accounts. She was 31 years of age and she lost a very brave fight against cancer, so as a team we would like to dedicate this to her.

“It puts everything into perspective.”
