Formula 1 – The Monegasque won this Sunday ahead of the two McLarens of Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris
It’s party time in Monza. Charles Leclerc won the Italian Grand Prix on Ferrari’s home turf on Sunday, to the great delight of the tens of thousands of fans gathered around the legendary Monza circuit.
The Monegasque, who started in third position, beat the two McLarens of Australian Oscar Piastri and Briton Lando Norris in this 16th round out of 24 of the F1 season. Dutchman Max Verstappen (Red Bull), leader in the general classification, took sixth place.
Norris, who started from pole position, reduced the championship gap to the reigning triple world champion by eight points, who still holds a 62-point lead. But the Englishman can have many regrets because he could have taken many more points from Verstappen, who started only in seventh position.
Second victory for Leclerc at Monza
Starting in third place, Leclerc won thanks to a one-stop strategy against two for the McLarens. After setting a very good pace, the Monegasque then managed his tyre wear very well at the end of the race to win with a 2.6 second lead over Piastri and blow away the jo(…) - 20minutes
