Charles Leclerc secured a dramatic victory at the Italian Grand Prix in Monza, delivering Ferrari their first home win since 2019. Despite starting in fourth, Leclerc executed a bold one-stop strategy, maintaining his hard tires for 38 laps to fend off McLaren's Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris. This win was especially sweet for Ferrari, whose CEO Benedetto Vigna called it 'the best day of his life,' and whose Chairman John Elkann celebrated the team's triumph on home turf. McLaren, despite starting on pole, saw Piastri and Norris finish second and third respectively, while championship leader Max Verstappen finished a distant sixth, further narrowing his lead. The race was marked by strategic gambles and nail-biting moments, particularly for Leclerc who overcame his own doubts to achieve a 'special' second win at Monza.
