Martin Brundle: "Charles Leclerc was lucky not to get a five-second penalty"

Martin Brundle believes that Charles Leclerc was "lucky" not to get penalized for forcing Lewis Hamilton off the track at the Italian Grand Prix. However, the Sky Sports commentator praised Leclerc for his race victory and believes that he has now established himself as a top driver.

"On a number of occasions, Leclerc was very robust in defending, pushing the limits of several regulations," Brundle said to Sky Sports. "He was lucky to get a driving-standards warning flag rather than a five-second penalty when crowding Hamilton into the braking area of the second chicane, having already been dancing around through the previous flat-out Curva Grande.

Leclerc has proved himself as a true racer and will hope to go on to have a successful career in the years to come.
