The Super-Max is destined for a monotonous competition.
The Monaco Grand Prix is renowned as one of the most historical races in Formula 1, but it's often quite uneventful. This year, however, there's a winner who has stirred up feelings. And Red Bull is distraught.
Italy
Gazzetta dello Sport: "The Prince becomes a king in his hometown of Monte-Carlo. Ferrari is quickly becoming Red Bull's most formidable rival. The ongoing growth of the Ferrari team can be attributed to their team leader, Vasseur. The World Championship is no longer just a fantasy for Ferrari."
Corriere dello Sport: "Leclerc clinches victory at the race furthest from the most modern concept of Formula 1. For Leclerc, the race in Monte Carlo serves as a coronation to conclude the first half of the season, during which he hasn't always been at his best."
Tuttosport: "Red Bull has been under pressure for three Grands Prix, and even the extraordinary Verstappen can't solve the issues. The mistake in qualifying hangs over Verstappen like a millstone, leaving him with a disappointing race."
Corriere della Sera: "The prince becomes a king. Leclerc has built his success, step by step. He hopes to rule, with or without Sir Lewis Hamilton in Maranello."
La Repubblica: "With the loss of Newey, Red Bull loses its invincibility. Not even the incredible Verstappen can find a way out of this crisis in Monaco."
Il Messaggero: "A lifelong dream comes true for Leclerc: The victory he's desired since his Formula 1 debut is now a reality. This success is also a triumph for team leader Vasseur, who has revived Ferrari."
England
Guardian: "Charles Leclerc discarded the weight on his shoulders and allowed himself the indulgence of tears as he left his car and celebrated his first win at his home Grand Prix of Monaco."
Daily Mail: "Lewis Hamilton demands a complete revamp of the Monaco Grand Prix, stating that 'people were asleep' as they witnessed the race in the principality."
Telegraph: "Tears of joy for Charles Leclerc, but the Monaco Grand Prix raises concerns about the race's future."
Switzerland
Blick: "Typical Monaco GP! After the positions have been determined, Leclerc, the first-time winner, reigns at the front."
Aargauer Zeitung: "Prince Albert greeted the new Monaco winner, Charles Leclerc, and even took a sip from the champagne bottle in honor of the Formula 1 driver from Monaco. Leclerc's first victory evoked intense emotions in the principality."
France
L'Equipe: "Charles Leclerc shatters the Monaco curse. After five retirement incidents at his national GP, Charles Leclerc triumphed on Sunday in Monaco and dominated from start to finish. A kind of anointing for this tireless warrior."
