International media | Belief in world title for Ferrari is back

Hope for an exciting championship has returned after Charles Leclerc's victory at the Austrian Grand Prix. Here are the reactions of the international media on Monday morning.

Italy is on the up again. Not only did Leclerc win the race, but the team's F1-75 was simply faster than Red Bull Racing's car. Gazzetta firmly believes in a Ferrari comeback.

The German Bild has a special eye for Mick Schumacher on Monday morning. 'He was never as strong as this', reads the German newspaper after the Haas driver's sixth place in Spielberg. Yet there is also attention for the 'extremely important success of Ferrari'.

'Leclerc returns to the fight for the world title', reads the top of Marca's race report of the Austrian GP. The Spanish medium believes that Leclerc is still in the race for the world title, but it now writes off Carlos Sainz. The Spaniard crashed out after an exploded engine and is now 75 points behind the reigning world champion.

According to The Guardian, the Red Bull Ring saw the strongest Ferrari since the Australian GP. Leclerc's important victory was, according to the British newspaper, mainly due to the pace that the Monegasque showed, but also to the fact that he managed to pass Verstappen three times on the track. The championship is wide open again.

In Italy, there is a dilemma. On the one hand, Corriere della Sera wants to cheer Leclerc's victory, but it also sees yet another F1-75 failure. There are concerns about the reliability of the Ferrari-powered cars, as these breakdowns are hampering current performance, but possibly also future performance.
