Leclerc and Ferrari victorious at Italian Grand Prix

CHARLES LECLERC secured Ferrari a rare win at the Italian Grand Prix, much to the home fans’ delight, as the team’s bold one-stop strategy paid off today.

Ferrari, which had brought nine upgrades to its home race, was one of the teams to choose to only pit once.

And that proved the right decision for Leclerc, who despite heavily degrading tyres, managed to hold off Oscar Piastri and his McLaren teammate Lando Norris.

“Monaco and Monza are the two races I wanted to win and I have managed to win them this year. It is so special. The tifosi were incredible. Mama Mia.”
