Charles Leclerc surprised everyone by winning the Italian Grand Prix for Ferrari.
He used a smart strategy and managed his tires well, adding another win to his 2024 season.
Will Leclerc Win Another F1 Race in 2024?
McLaren has been strong on many tracks this year. They have more podium finishes than any other team in 2024, thanks to Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris. Ferrari’s car, however, needs specific track conditions to perform well. Despite this, Leclerc feels hopeful about future races.
“Before this race [Italian GP], I don’t think I was seeing myself challenging for wins anywhere else. Maybe Singapore. Singapore maybe could be a strong track for us. On the other tracks, I still feel like we are a step behind McLaren and Red Bull,” Leclerc said after Monza.
He added, “But today we’ve seen that we can be very on a par with McLaren if we do everything perfect. Again, I think that the upgrade has helped us in some ways today to have the same pace as them. However, for the other tracks, I don’t know whether it will be enough to completely close the gap. We’ve done some step forward. I think we need some others.”
Fans might wonder if Ferrari can keep up this momentum at other tracks.
The good news is that the Singapore Grand Prix is just around the corner on September 15th. But first, Formula 1 heads to Baku for the Azerbaijan Grand Prix.
What do you think? Can Leclerc win again?
