Charles Leclerc’s victory in the Belgian Grand Prix was crucial not only for the driver but for his Ferrari Formula 1 team too.
Ferrari has had multiple opportunities to win races in 2019 but missed out for a variety of reasons including poor strategy decisions, something it called correctly at Spa by using Sebastian Vettel as a “road block” for Leclerc.
But another win would only temporarily mask the issues facing Ferrari.
Leclerc’s increasing supremacy is raising further questions about Vettel and the intra-team dynamic, and the car’s underperformance on all circuits where power isn’t the dominant factor means Monza could well be Ferrari’s last real chance of a win this year.
