Scuderia Ferrari HP team boss Fred Vasseur has picked out the one rule he would change in Formula 1.

On Sunday, reigning world champion Max Verstappen won the Italian Grand Prix in Monza with a convincing performance.

The Dutchman led from start to finish as he took the chequered flag ahead of McLaren duo Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri.

However, the Grand Prix was dominated by a moment between the two McLarens.

After Norris experienced a slow pit stop, Piastri managed to gain track position and was running in P2.

However, instead of letting the pair race and battle for position, Piastri was told to give his place back to Norris on his team radio.

After initially questioning the call made by the team, the Australian agreed and allowed Norris to retake P2.

As a result, Piastri's lead at the top of the drivers' standings was cut to 31 points.

Prior to race day, Ferrari team boss Vasseur spoke to SPORTbible at a special media launch event held at The Regal Club in Monza.

Last week, Ferrari, along with team partner Chivas Regal, released a new film titled 'A Tribute to the Scuderia Ferrari HP Pit Crew', to celebrate the sport's unsung heroes.

Ferrari stars Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc played a starring role as they narrated the film, while the pit crew were put into the spotlight.

The main objective of the film is to honour the pit crew and reflect Chivas Regal’s belief that greatness is built on teamwork.

During the media launch event in Monza, Vasseur issued a three-word response when asked which F1 rule he would change.

The Frenchman told SPORTbible: "Let them race!"

A lot of fans would agree with Vasseur's suggestion, especially after watching the controversial moment between the McLarens during the Italian Grand Prix.

Vasseur went on to explain why Monza is such an iconic part of the F1 calendar.

He said: "It's the speed, highest speed of the season, highest top speed of the season, very high speed straight lines, low speed corners and the extreme set-up of the car."

To round things off, Vasseur sent a message to Ferrari fans, also known as the Tifosi.

He said: "Thanks for your support, it is mega positive energy for us to have the support of the Tifosi everywhere in the world and especially here in Italy."

Chivas Regal invites you to raise a glass to the unsung heroes of Scuderia Ferrari HP and watch the film here.
