Ferrari driver Charles Leclerc said he had “tears in my eyes” as he was on the verge of completing what he described as “the ultimate dream” and winning the Monaco Grand Prix.
“My father has done absolutely everything for me to get to where I am today,” Leclerc said. "Our dream was to race and win Monaco in F1. I wouldn’t have imagined when I was younger I would race with Ferrari one day and win this race, and that was obviously the ultimate dream right before becoming world champion.
“And I think the fact as well that we started twice on pole position in the past and that we couldn't manage to get the win for one reason or another, that we couldn't really control, not in our control, makes this one even more so special.”The first was in 2021, when he put what was very much not a competitive Ferrari on pole on his first qualifying lap, and then crashed on his second.
From the start of Friday practice, he was floating the Ferrari around Monaco, bending car and circuit to his will, lap after lap, like it was the easiest thing in the world. After the race, many of his rivals congratulated him, delighted he had finally achieved a win he has for so long so richly deserved.
First, in low-speed corners, the car naturally has a higher ride-height, so Ferrari will have an automatic advantage there because the car is running closer to its natural sweet spot, so the aerodynamic downforce does not deplete as the car rises.
