Mattia Binotto, Ferrari sports chief, had to recruit Sebastian Vettel almost forcibly yesterday for the red party at Monza. In the pit lane , all team members clustered to celebrate the victory of Charles Leclerc, the first of the Scuderia in his circuit since 2010. The usual euphoria scenes contrasted with Vettel's attitude, which did not even hold what he demanded the protocol. The four-time champion, with morale on the ground, left the scene in a hurry.

Vettel had been evidenced after a spin on the Ascari chicane and a return to the court severely punished by the commissioners. Today, with three points less on the license, he knows that if he commits another similar irregularity in Singapore, Sochi or Sukuza, Mexico's career will be lost. He had never fallen so low in his previous four seasons at Ferrari. He also never had such fierce competition in the garage.

Because the decline of Vettel cannot be understood without the consecration of Leclerc, a pilot with a special pedigree and an amazing ability to learn. Yesterday, after resisting Lewis Hamilton's rush 40 laps, the Monegasque came down exhausted from his SF-90, apparently without resources to face his turn before the microphones.

Black and white flag

However, given the joy of the Tifosi , he brought his feelings together in an Italian speech: «Winning here is simply a dream, 10 times better than my victory last week in Belgium. I have no words, but thanks to all ». No one would have imagined a better way to commemorate the 90th anniversary of the Cavallino .

The entire Autodrome surrendered yesterday to the intrepid Leclerc, who knew how to play at the limit of the regulation with a whole world champion. After closing the space to Hamilton in the first chicane, the commissioners showed a black and white flag as a warning. Then, on the way to the Ascari area, Charles shrewd over the pianos.

Another story in Singapore

“We had a couple of moments when we were very close and we should talk in private. You have to be consistent with the rules, ”Hamilton warned, nothing accustomed to such licenses. Neither in the time of Charlie Whiting, nor under the mandate of Michael Masi, current career director.

In any case, the power of Mercedes will return to materialize within 15 days in Singapore, where it adds four victories in the five seasons of the Hybrid Era. «We must be realistic. The next races will be much more difficult, ”Leclerc conceded yesterday, although no one at all Maranello shared such a dose of realism.
