“The Wizard of Oz”: Press celebrates Leclerc

Great Britain: The Sun: “Wizard of Oz. Charles Leclerc seals victory at Australian Grand Prix.”

The Guardian: “Imperious, untouchable, Ferrari's Charles Leclerc won the Australian Grand Prix with an almost carefree composure. Ferrari delivered the car and Leclerc clearly demonstrated the sure hand of a would-be champion in Melbourne.”

independent: “If he (Leclerc) can sustain the sensational form he has shown so far this season, then his outstanding flair of insouciance could dominate Formula 1 for the foreseeable future.” Italy: Sports Gazette: “The Flying Prince. Ferrari is like a rocket. Leclerc is a cannibal. Imola awaits the red king. Nobody is catching up with him right now. And the World Cup is no longer a dream. Ver-Stop-pen: Max, it’s almost over.”

Greenhouse Courier: “Reclerc. Leclerc is a star, a cannibal, a perfect boy for all mothers, daughters and tifosi with good taste.”

Corriere dello Sport: “Beauty and the Beast.” Spain: Brand: “Leclerc unstoppable (…).”

AS: “It couldn't be worse, except for Leclerc (...). Overwhelming victory for Ferrari.” France: The team: “Leclerc and Ferrari, that’s solid.”

Le Figaro: “An untouchable Leclerc wins in Australia, Verstappen loses in a big way.” Australia: The Age: “Charles Leclerc turned the Melbourne race into a procession and there was precious little of the slugfest that fans usually hope to see. The reality is that sports are like that sometimes. A team can dominate (...) because it has done everything right, and that was certainly the case for Ferrari this weekend. (...) The Scuderia now seems to have a car that is a very serious contender for the world title and a driver with enough coolness and professionalism to keep a cool head (...).” Austria: Krone newspaper: “Charles Leclerc celebrated his second victory of the season in this year’s Formula 1 World Championship. After the opening victory in Bahrain, the Ferrari driver also won the third World Championship round in Australia on Sunday. At the Albert Park Circuit in Melbourne, the Monegasque celebrated a confident start-to-finish victory including the fastest lap, but also benefited from the retirement of Max Verstappen in the Red Bull.”
