Charles Leclerc: Ferrari driver wins Italian Grand Prix after holding off Lewis Hamilton, Bottas

The Hindu  

Italy has a new hero. Driving for the biggest team in Formula One in just his second year in the sport in front of the adoring Tifosi, Charles Leclerc set alight the Autodromo Nazionale Monza sending the crowd draped in red into a dizzy by winning the Italian Grand Prix under tremendous pressure. Leclerc showed nerves of steel as he battled constant challenge throughout the race, first from Lewis Hamilton and then Valtteri Bottas, who threw everything they had in them. After securing pole on Saturday, Leclerc had to fight for the win, starving off a good-starting Hamilton into turn one but quickly built up a one-second lead after the first lap. Leclerc then made a small error locking up into turn one but managed to retain the lead and did well to keep Hamilton at bay before the latter made a mistake of his own allowing teammate Bottas to second.
