Cool Leclerc delivers Ferrari Monza triumph

Charles Leclerc secured Ferrari's first victory at their home Italian Grand Prix since 2010 on Sunday when he resisted race-long pressure from both Mercedes rivals to claim his second successive Formula One triumph.

The 21-year-old Monegasque, who dedicated his maiden win last Sunday to the memory of his late friend Anthoine Hubert, who was killed in an F2 race a day earlier, was exultant as a vast army of 'tifosi' in an estimated crowd of more than 150,000 celebrated deliriously.

"What a race!" said an exhausted Leclerc.

"I have never felt so tired in a race. It was so difficult. For me, it is a dream to win here like this in front of the 'tifosi' - thanks to everyone!"
