Harsh criticism of Vettel: “Case of sports psychology”

Italy Sports Gazette: “A huge red heart beats under the stands, drunk with happiness. It celebrates an insane race with which Ferrari uncorks the champagne in their own living room after a nine-year absence. It's exciting for a heroic boy, Charles Leclerc, to enter an empire and stand up to the silver tiger, escaping his clutches with the cheeky skill of Mowgli from The Jungle Book. On the unforgettable day at Monza, she too won in the car and then on the podium: the incredible, colorful, majestic mass of the Ferrari people.”

The print: “The swan became the ugly duckling. Sebastian Vettel's parable is a case of sports psychology. (...) Six years of fame follow six years like a rollercoaster with Ferrari. Vettel stays afloat, every time at the start of the season he senses the chance to make it: to achieve the success of his mentor Michael Schumacher. The arrival of young Leclerc destroyed these plans.” Greenhouse Courier: “When his sweet look, his tender face, is hidden by the helmet, he transforms, he becomes a monster. Ruthless in the use of his own weapons: strength, intelligence, determination. Charles Leclerc gave himself and a red mass – crazy with joy – an unforgettable celebration.”

Corriere dello Sport: “Leclerc ignites Monza with a Ferrari victory! Ferrari had not won at Monza since 2010, back then with Fernando Alonso. For Sebastian Vettel, however, it was a race to forget.”

The Republic: “Nine years later, Ferrari wins again in Monza. At 21, Leclerc is the youngest winner in Maranello history and repeats his success from last week, in his first season at the wheel of the Cavallino.” Great Britain The Telegraph: “At just 21, Leclerc has fended off a Mercedes attack to become the youngest red-clad driver ever to win at Ferrari's home track. This ended a nine-year losing streak for the Italian team. Leclerc follows in the footsteps of Alberto Ascari, John Surtees, Michael Schumacher and Fernando Alonso and is now the eleventh Ferrari driver to win here - at the first attempt. The Tifosi have a new hero.”

The Times: “When Charles Leclerc first visited the Ferrari factory in Maranello, they didn't want to let him in. (...) The Scuderia had no idea back then that the child they had rejected would go down in their history books. Because yesterday it was the now 21-year-old Leclerc who achieved a long-awaited Ferrari victory at the home race in Monza. Since Fernando Alonso in 2010, the Tifosi had not seen their man take the step to the top of the podium. And the fact that it succeeded this year, when Ferrari is celebrating its 90th anniversary in business, made it all the sweeter. It was also something special for Leclerc. It was his second Formula 1 victory, but the first that he could really enjoy. His first victory in Belgium last week came less than 24 hours after his friend Anthoine Hubert, with whom he started dating aged seven, died on the same track.” Spain Brand: “Leclerc sends Vettel into retirement with a magnificent victory in Monza. He achieved a memorable victory at the Italian Grand Prix, his second in a row. He caused emotions to explode in Monza, which had not been able to celebrate a red victory since Alonso's success in 2010. With the stroke of a pen, Leclerc ended the streak of bad luck, overtook Vettel in the rankings and sent the German into retirement as Ferrari leader. Vettel experienced another unlucky day after his umpteenth unforced mistake.”

World Sports: “A giant victory for Leclerc against Mercedes in Monza. If anyone still doubts that the Monegasque has what it takes to be a world champion and that he is the current Ferrari leader, they should watch the Italian Grand Prix again. There's nothing left to talk about. Spectacular. Incredible."
