Charles Leclerc secured a monumental victory for Ferrari at the Formula 1 Italian Grand Prix, sending the home fans into a frenzy as the team's daring one-stop strategy paid dividends on Sunday.

Bringing nine upgrades to their home race, Ferrari's choice to pit just once was vindicated by Leclerc's performance. Despite significant tire degradation, he successfully fended off McLaren's Oscar Piastri and his teammate Lando Norris.

The passionate tifosi fans roared with every lap, and their excitement peaked when Leclerc crossed the finish line 2.664 seconds ahead of Piastri. Polesitter Norris followed in third, while championship leader Max Verstappen finished sixth in his Red Bull. This marks Ferrari's second win on home turf in 14 races, the last being Leclerc's victory in 2019.
