Charles Leclerc stayed calm under pressure from Mercedes pair Lewis Hamilton and Valtteri Bottas on Sunday to give Ferrari a first Italian Grand Prix victory since 2010.
It was Leclerc’s second win, a week after his maiden triumph in Belgium, but Hamilton, who finished third in Monza, still leads the drivers’ standings with team-mate Bottas, second on Sunday, his closest challenger.
