Leo Turrini, Formula 1 journalist and well-known Ferrari insider, commented on the 2024 F1 Italian Grand Prix during the Sky Race Anatomy show and on his blog *Profondo Rosso*, praising Ferrari’s performance at the 5.793-kilometre Autodromo Nazionale Monza on Sunday.
Leo Turrini’s opinion
Here are the comments of the Formula 1 journalist: “I have to say that [Ferrari’s victory, ed.] was truly a tremendous emotion. Leclerc did something wonderful, he really put his all into it. The next person who criticizes Charles Leclerc is done with me. Because there are things you just can’t forget. At Monza, Carletto surpassed himself. Sen-sa-tion-al (syllabicated, so it’s clearer),” Leo Turrini emphasized.
The journalist then went on to comment on Ferrari’s extraordinary teamwork: “The team’s work was also astounding. The country priest [Vasseur, ed.] won his bet. At least here in Monza. As they say in his language: chapeau!” – the F1 expert continued.
“And muchas gracias to Carlos Sainz. I’m happy about Hamilton’s arrival, but despite many criticisms, the Spaniard is a team player,” he concluded.
An all too beautiful Sunday, but what about the next races?
Everything went according to plan for the Scuderia on Sunday at Monza; in fact, perhaps even better than expected.
On the eve of the race, it was anticipated to be a close contest, where the SF-24 could have its say for the victory, even though it was not the favorite.
However, by taking advantage of McLaren’s issues, Oscar Piastri overtaking Lando Norris and an incomprehensible strategy in the final stages, stopping the Australian before Charles Leclerc despite a considerable lead, Ferrari secured its third victory of the 2024 Formula 1 season, leveling the score with Mercedes and the Woking team itself.
In short, expectations for the coming weekends are now higher, but one must not get carried away by enthusiasm: despite the Monza triumph, Ferrari is still not the fastest car on the grid, at least on average.
Who knows, though, whether between now and early December, the Tifosi (and the men of Maranello) might not achieve some more great successes.
