Charles Leclerc takes delivery of Ferrari car he claimed first F1 win in
Charles Leclerc has been given the Ferrari car he used to claim his maideꦐn victory in Formula 1 as a gift from the team.
The Monegasque driver took a very special delivery on Thursday as his race-winning 2019 SF90 Ferrari F1 car arrived at his home ahꦦead of next weekend’s second race of the season at Imola.
The Ferrari SF90 model - named to celebrate Ferrari’s 90th anniversary - was the car in which Leclerc won his first F1 race at the 2019 Belgium Grand Prix, having resisted late pressure fro🦩m Mercedes’ Lewis Hamilton.
It proved to be a highly emotional�ꦜ� win for Leclerc, coming a day after the tragic death of his childhood friend Anthoine Hubert in a Formula 2 crash.
🍒A week later Leclerc went on to claim Ferrari’s first victory at the Italian Grand Pri𝓡x since 2010 in front of the team’s adorning Tifosi fans at a packed-out Monza.
Leclerc posted images of his present from Ferrari on social media. T🌠he car comes equipped with a Ferrari power unit and is ready to run, though it would need a group of engineers in order to fire it up.
To date, those remain the 23-year-old’s only two wins in F1. Leclerc finished fourth in that year’s standings, beating four-time world champion Sebastian Vettel in his firstꦛ campaign with Ferrari.
Ferrari went on to suffer its worst season in over four decades in 2020, with Leclerc s🎃lipping back to ꧂sixth in the championship.
