John Elkann: “Winning in our home is a special emotion” | 2024 F1 Italian Grand Prix. John Elkann congratulated Charles Leclerc and Ferrari for Monza win.

A great victory
For the twentieth time in its history, Scuderia Ferrari has managed to triumph in the home race at the 5.793-kilometre Autodromo Nazionale Monza. This victory was a mix of speed, creativity, and boldness, with Charles Leclerc masterfully crossing the finish line as the winner with only one pit stop, unlike the double stop of all his rivals. The last laps were particularly nerve-wracking for the many fans of the Prancing Horse, as Oscar Piastri in the McLaren closed in but couldn’t bridge the gap before the checkered flag.
