The 23-year-old admitted that he\u2019s learnt a lot from his maiden outing, and won\u2019t have to wait too long to have another go at Monza, with Race 2 taking place tomorrow (June 20).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Red Bull prot\u00e9g\u00e9 Liam Lawson won the race to become the youngest-ever DTM race winner, at 19 years of age.

At least one pit stop is mandatory in the DTM races, and the team opted to run Maini on a long opening stint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At one point, he was running as high as 2nd&nbsp;place, thanks to this, but he dropped down to 15th&nbsp;place after his pit stop. Ultimately, he could only salvage a 14th-place finish, but it was a key learning opportunity for him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking after the race, Maini said, \u201cObviously, the result is not exactly what we want, but we know with the Mercedes-AMG we have a good car and we know where to improve for tomorrow. So I\u2019m looking forward to a better result tomorrow. In the end, it was good to fight with a few DTM legends in the race today.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdni.autocarindia.com\/Utils\/ImageResizer.ashx?n=http%3a%2f%2fcdni.autocarindia.com%2fNews%2fLiam-Lawson-DTM-Monza-Race-1.jpg&amp;c=0\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Lawson wins for Red Bull Ferrari<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Liam Lawson, who is also competing in the 2021 F2 championship, went for the opposite strategy, going for an early pit stop. Starting from 7th&nbsp;on the grid, he soon gained two places \u2013 one after passing Esteban Muth and another thanks to Philip Ellis\u2019 retirement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lawson pitted on lap 9 and by the time his main rival Abril pitted on lap 11, the latter couldn\u2019t hold him off on cold tyres. After slotting into the lead, following a move on Turn 2, it was a relatively trouble-free run to victory for Lawson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Vincent Abril had to settle for 2nd, while Maximilian Gotz crossed the line in 3rd&nbsp;place to make it two Mercedes-AMG cars on the podium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>DTM Monza streaming live on Autocar India<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Each DTM round will comprise two races, so Monza will host Race 2 tomorrow.
