“Every lap was like a qualifying lap and I took every opportunity I had to fight for positions and had fun driving. We were quite vulnerable on the main straight, which is what made the race more difficult for us,” said the Ferrari driver.
“Of course we want more than a fourth place, but taking all things into consideration, I think this is a result we can be pleased with today. Looking at where we were last year, we have made a big step forward.
“This is thanks to the work of every person on our team and I think we should be proud of this and acknowledge it,” concluded Charles.
The Monza 2019 win remains the last win for Leclerc. But he maintained his performance at the highest level and has grown into one of the best drivers on the grid.
