Spa-Francorchamps 01
September 2019
Scuderia Ferrari has taken its first official win
of the season, thanks to a great performance from Charles Leclerc at the
legendary Spa-Francorchamps circuit. The Monegasque managed the 44 lap race to
perfection, on his way to his maiden F1 win, the first also for a driver from
Monaco. This fantastic result came at the end of what was a very difficult
weekend for the world of motor sport, following the tragic death in Saturday’s
Formula 2 race of young French driver Anthoine Hubert.
The win made Charles Leclerc the youngest Grand
Prix winner at Ferrari and he became the third youngest winner in Formula One,
joining the likes of Jim Clark and Michael Schumacher in a club that took its
first F1 win in Belgium.
Since then Charles has won 5 Grand Prix, taken 18
podiums and 15 pole positions.
