Yet another Ferrari fable for the years – Charles Leclerc’s Monza triumph
A 21 year old Monegasque, having lost his friend to a freak F2 accident merely a week before, lined up on Pole at Monza with his scarlet monster amidst the waves of ‘tifosi’, a word which is Greek for smoke, and went on to clinch the race win to cement Ferrari’s first triumph on home soil in almost a decade.
Charles Leclerc’s win at Monza is what fables are made of in our sport. The young driver displayed brilliant defensive acumen as he held on to his lead amidst multiple advances from Lewis Hamilton and Valtteri Bottas in their Silver Arrows. Mercedes appeared to be the better package in 2019 and the Ferrari fans, longing for hope, clinched their jaws and awaited to see whether the 21 year-old could withstand the pressure.
And withstand he did, claiming his second win in Formula 1 and writing a story for ages to come.
