Charles Leclerc says winning Formula 1’s Italian Grand Prix for Ferrar꧙i has surpassed all the dreams he had as a child.

Leclerc resisted huge pressure from a two-pronged Mercedes attack throughout Sunday’s 53-lap race to claim Ferrari’s first victory on home soil at Monza since 🔥2010.

The Monegasque driver said he felt enormous𓆏 pressure to pull off a second consecutive victory for Ferrari but revelled in the joy of his achieve♋ment.

“It fel🦩t absolutely amazing, and ꦍthe podium also,” Leclerc said.

“It’s going beyond all the dreams I’ve had since I was a child. To see so many people cheerin🐭g for one team, singing all together, it’s amazing.

“It’s always an easier situation to have two cars instead of one but obviously ye💧sterday Seb [Vettel] was extremely unlucky, he couldn’t do the lap in the second run of Q3, but I’m pretty sure it wil🐈l be better in the next races.”

“I think it’s the first weekend in my life where 🌠the only thing I’ve got in my head is winning,” he𓂃 added.

“Normally I focus on🍬 just the job I have to do in the 𝓀car, which normally is more successful and it works better. But, since Wednesday, seeing the support we’ve had, was just, yeah, incredible.

“The only thing I wanted this weekend was to win in front of all the guys that are supporting us, for the team. So, it was very difficult because also during the race I was ꧋thinking to that win and how much it would mean to everyone in the grandstand🧔 here.

“So it was adding a bit of pressure, and as I’ve explained earlier, also I had quite a lot of pressure from lap🦄 one to the last laps.”

Leclerc admitted he found it hard not to be distracted in the final laps of the race amid increasing celebrations from the home c🥂rowd.

“I’ve never been on a podium with so many people underneath it,” Leclerc explained♕. “And to see that the whole straight was full of people, mostly red - 99 per cent red – was great to see. Hearing them 🍨cheering, singing was just a lot of emotions.

“On the last two laps I started to see in the grandstand that there was quite a lot of agitation, that all of the fans were jumping, so yeah I was telling myself ‘stop looking a🐽t the grandstand, look at the track, focus on what you are doing as a driver and then you can enjoy whatever there is outside.’

“But i𝔍t was quite difficult to stay focused on driving, seeing how much movement the🅷re was in the grandstand.”
