The complete Formula 1 driver standings after Leclerc's victory in Monza

Charles Leclerc won in front of the famous Ferrari Tifosi and took his second Formula 1 victory of the season in Monza.

He beat McLaren duo Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri – who started on the front row – to win in northern Italy, the home of the prancing horses.

Championship leader Max Verstappen's lead shrank to 64 points after finishing sixth, while McLaren reduced the gap in the team championship to just 10 points.

Ferrari's Carlos Sainz and Ferrari-moving Lewis Hamilton crossed the finish line ahead of Verstappen, while Mercedes' George Russell, Red Bull's Sergio Perez, Williams' Alex Albon and Haas' Kevin Magnussen completed the top 10.

F1 winner Leclerc

Formula 1 race winner Leclerc said: “It is an incredible feeling. I thought a second victory [at Monza, after 2019] wouldn't feel like it… but it's incredible. I want to win as many races as possible. This is something very special.

“The Tifosi were incredible. The power they exude is incredible.”

“I don’t know if we [keep challenging for wins] and I still think McLaren are the favourites, but we have taken a step forward.”

Piastri said: “It hurts, I'm not going to lie. I did a lot of things right today… from our position, a one-stop race seemed like a risky decision.

“I am happy with the pace and the race, but second place hurts. In retrospect [we should have done a one-stop] but unfortunately we got it a little wrong. We had everything to lose.

Teammate Norris said: “I don't know what I should have done differently. Ferrari drove a better race today.”

“We considered [the one stop] but it wasn't possible. It's hard. We're disappointed, of course, but Ferrari had a better car.

“Well done, [Oscar]. He got past me and he deserved it.”
