Charles Leclerc confounded all expectations by securing victory at the Italian Grand Prix on Sunday afternoon in Monza, thrilling an absolutely frenetic crowd.
The Monegasque driver, notching his second win of the season and the seventh of his career, relied on a bold one-stop strategy that proved crucial in outpacing the McLarens of Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris, despite their advantageous start from the front row.
Carlos Sainz had to settle for fourth place at the end of the Italian Grand Prix, the final European round of the 2024 F1 season. Lewis Hamilton, the first Mercedes across the finish line, came in fifth.
A significant setback for Red Bull
After dominating the first half of the championship with seven wins in ten Grands Prix, Red Bull has been progressively losing ground in the rankings. This Sunday at Monza, Max Verstappen managed only a sixth-place finish, marking one of his poorest performances in a long while.
George Russell ended up in seventh place after losing any chance of a strong finish right from the start. Sergio Pérez, Kevin Magnussen, and Alex Albon rounded out the top 10 at this Italian Grand Prix.
The next Formula 1 Grand Prix will take place in two weeks at the Baku circuit in Azerbaijan.
