Leclerc holds off Hamilton to take emotional maiden Grand Prix victory
Spa-Francorchamps [1 September 2019]
Charles Leclerc claimed the first Formula 1 victory of his career and
Ferrari’s first in the 2019 campaign in the Belgium Grand Prix at
Spa-Francorchamps, less than 24 hours after his friend Anthoine Hubert
passed away after a crash in Saturday’s F2 feature race.
The Monegasque, who immediately dedicated his win to Hubert, who he grew up racing, was in a league of his own all weekend, topping two of the three practice sessions and all three segments of qualifying on his way to his third pole position.
Come race day, Leclerc led away from P1 and though he lost track position to team mate Sebastian Vettel during the pit stops, Ferrari instructed Vettel to move aside for the flying polesitter. From there Leclerc led reasonably comfortably, though he had to coolly hold off a late attack from Mercedes’ Lewis Hamilton to clinch victory.
