MONZA, Italy -- It's been a long nine years, but finally a Ferrari driver has visited the top step of the podium again at an Italian Grand Prix.
Charles Leclerc was the man to do it, seven days after his emotional maiden F1 win at the Belgian Grand Prix. But it was a day of wildly contrasting fortunes for Ferrari.

It might not have been flawless, but Leclerc's drive to victory at Monza was mighty impressive given the pressure he had to withstand from Lewis Hamilton and then, to a lesser extent, Valtteri Bottas.
