It may have taken 13 races but Ferrari have finally won a Grand Prix in 2019 as Charles Leclerc stormed to victory at the Belgian Grand Prix. The Italian media have been critical in the past but how did they react to the Scuderia's first win of the year?

Gazzetta Dello Sport

Gazzetta Dello Sport pays tribute to the stellar performance from Charles Leclerc which saw him start on pole and cross the chequered flag first.

Ferrari haven't won at their home race of the Italian Grand Prix, since Fernando Alonso won there in 2010 and the outlet highlight Ferrari's dream of a victory at Monza. They run a headline on their website "Super Leclerc, 1st also thanks to Vettel. And now Ferrari dreams of Monza"

Corriere Della Sera

Corriere Della Sera focuses on Charles Leclerc's maiden Formula 1 victory saying he used his head and his heart to enter the "club of champions" by winning at Spa. They feel the victory for Ferrari has been a long time coming and very much deserved. They also suggest this is the beginning of a Ferrari resurrection.

They also reflect on the fitting tribute Leclerc paid to his friend, Anthoine Hubert.
