Charles Leclerc delighted Ferrari's home crowd in a strategic triumph to beat Oscar Piastri to victory at the Italian Grand Prix, after hanging onto the tyres in a one-stop strategy.
Leclerc managed to hold on from a rapidly closing Piastri, who had much fresher tyres thanks to a two-stop strategy, and crossed the line with a 2.664-second lead - the crowd becoming more audibly ecstatic in the closing laps as the tactical gambit became clear.
