Leclerc defeats Bottas to end Ferrari win-drought in Monza
Monza [8 September 2019]
A battling performance from Charles Leclerc saw the Monegasque claim his
second win in as many weekends, taking a brilliant Italian Grand Prix
victory for Ferrari, the Scuderia’s first at Monza since 2010, as he saw
off a late-race push from Mercedes’ Valtteri Bottas.
Leclerc became a first-time Grand Prix winner last weekend in Belgium. But while that victory would undoubtedly have been special, winning at Monza in his first race here as a Ferrari driver – claiming the Scuderia’s first Italian Grand Prix win since Fernando Alonso’s victory nine years ago – will doubtless have turned the 21-year-old Leclerc into a national hero in Italy.
For the majority of the race, it appeared as though Lewis Hamilton would once again deny Ferrari home glory. But once the five-time champion’s tyres went off in the closing stages of the race, it was left to team mate Bottas to launch a late, and ultimately unsuccessful assault, on Leclerc.
