[Rassegna stampa] – Although Leclerc was favored in his fifth place by a yellow flag in his last attempt in Q3 (which stopped his opponents in the race for an improvement in time), his presence in the final phase of qualifying ‘weighs’ compared to a Sebastian Vettel who fought his way out of Q1 unscathed. The Ferraris are therefore in Mugello in full adaptation to the slopes of the track: an ups and downs in which this time Leclerc has found a way to climb faster from the Monza shallows.
“If it were a fairy tale, it would be nice to imagine that this afternoon, just before five o’clock, Charles Leclerc took the top step of the Mugello podium, playing the Mameli Anthem for the second time in the space of a week. But since the grand prize is anchored in reality, this remains only a long shot. The Ferrari suddenly started up at the barely decent pace it had when we raced at Silverstone. It is not a miracle, the gap is still huge. The Monegasque’s return to Q3 after a nightmare on Saturday at Spa and Monza magnifies the crisis in which Sebastian Vettel has fallen. The announcement of the move to Aston Martin in 2021 has not returned a shred of old enthusiasm to the German. Without reaction. Overcome the obstacle of Q1, insurmountable a week ago in Brianza, Seb stopped there. In Maranello there is no desire, at such a delicate moment, to face a traumatic divorce in the middle of the season but it is legitimate to question whether it is worth continuing like this, losing valuable points for the constructors’ classification along the way (which is money). Are we sure that Antonio Giovinazzi, instead of one of the guys from the FDA, wouldn’t give us a little more courage?“
Andrea Cremonesi, La Gazzetta dello Sport
“In the darkest moment in Ferrari’s recent history, Charles Leclerc turns on the light again. Weighed down by enormous pressure, frustrated by two disastrous races, by the thunder of Monza, he takes the team by the hand and leads them out of the swamp. He had said he would react at the Scuderia GP 1000, he was true to his word. He’ll have to keep his promise today, on his home court: as spectacular as it is full of pitfalls, he ventured well into the unknown at Mugello, as his teammate slipped behind. Again, the Cavallino works with a single driver. […] On the other side of the box is the usual resignation, the trend is depression. Vettel’s adventure at Ferrari wasn’t supposed to end like this, we would need it too. But it seems with the head elsewhere“.

“Vettel will start from behind today. The sooner the curtain falls on this season, the better it will be for the German. Going back to Leclerc, I wonder what he can do in the race. Carletto is also a champion of pride. Monza’s mistake and fear multiplied his motivations. He likes to drive on the fantastic Mugello track. I’ll keep it short: if it depended exclusively on him, the podium would be assured. Instead, the car is involved. What it is: half junk. Mattia Binotto’s staff is aware that there is no room for progress for a car that was born badly and grew worse. […] The only candidate for surprise is Max Verstappen“.
