Italian journalist Umberto Zapelloni commented on Charles Leclerc’s victory in the 2024 Formula 1 Monaco Grand Prix behind the wheel of the Ferrari SF-24 single-seater during the program Race Anatomy, produced by Sky Sport F1, and on his own blog Top Speed.
Umberto Zapelloni’s comments
This is the journalist’s analysis: “Charles Leclerc’s victory was very emotional for everyone. We saw the Prince of Monaco celebrating on the podium with champagne, Ferrari president John Elkann taking photos…”
“This success, however, Charles earned it on Saturday, with an extraordinary pole position, achieved with two laps done one after the other and each one more beautiful than the last.” – the Italian journalist pointed out – “Today, finally, there was a normal race, which was what he needed. After what happened on the first lap, it seemed like it could go differently once again…” Umberto Zapelloni added in conclusion.
The Monegasque driver managed to break the curse that tied him to his home track, achieving his first career victory on the streets of the principality. A success that he emotionally dedicated to his father Hervé and his friend and mentor Jules Bianchi – who passed away in 2017 and 2014 respectively – in interviews with the press.
In short, Charles Leclerc finally did it: he won the Monaco Grand Prix, making it a very beautiful day to all Formula 1 fans, and not only.
