Italian GP: Charles Leclerc wins at Monza, tidy effort from Mercedes

Charles Leclerc joins the list of legendary Ferrari drivers – Ascari, Hill, Surtees, Scarfiotti, Regazzoni, Scheckter, Berger, Schumacher, Barrichello, Alonso – to have won at Monza after he secured his second victory in a week.

While Sebastian Vettel put in yet another flop show, Leclerc proved once again that he has all the potential to become the future World Champion, although he did drive ‘dangerously’ at times to fend off challenges from Mercedes duo – Valtteri Bottas and Lewis Hamilton.

Leclerc was under intense pressure from both the Mercedes drivers, but, in the end, it was a nail-biting finish from the youngster.
