Leclerc goes for home win with Ferrari: 'Then it's possible'

Saturday saw the most complete at the Monza circuit in Italy. Carlos Sainz captured pole position and Charles Leclerc starts second. Max Verstappen will start between the two Ferrari drivers from second position. Leclerc believes that if he works with his teammate, a win is possible.

Like last year, a Ferrari driver will start from pole position in the home Grand Prix at the Autodromo Nazionale Monza. Then it was Leclerc who started the race from first position. Verstappen eventually won the 2022 race quite easily, while the Dutchman had to start from seventh position due to a grid penalty. For the 2023 edition, Leclerc is aiming for a one-two for Ferrari.

"This is the target, this will be my dream, this is definitely what we are going to try and achieve today. We need also to be realistic, on the Sunday we normally are less competitive than the Red Bull and I think it will be the case today. But if we play a good team game, it could be possible, so I'll give it all," said Leclerc ahead of the Italian GP in the Formula 1 Drivers' Parade.
