“Charles Is the Face of F1”: 4 Years After Historic Win Tifosi Manifest a Repeat Telecast Declaring Leclerc the Poster Boy of Italian GP

What a great time it was for Tifosi the year Charles Leclerc joined Ferrari. In 2019, Ferrari was the 2nd best team on the grid and finished P2 in the Constructors’ standing, behind Mercedes. And in his first year with the team, Leclerc got 2 victories. One at Spa, and the next at Monza. The Monza victory was even sweeter because it is the home GP for Ferrari. And now, with still 1.5 months to go for the Italian GP, Tifosi has already declared the Monegasque as the winner after an announcement by F1.

This year, the Maranello Outfit’s performance has been very low. And we say low because of the standards that they have set in the past. As the years pass, they have slid down in the standings. And this season has been pretty disappointing for all people that had any expectations from the legendary brand. Carlos Sainz is 5th in the WDC and Leclerc is worse off, sitting in 7th.

But, the poster of the Italian GP that F1 has released is not according to the WDC standings. In the poster, Leclerc’s SF-23 is at the front, leading the pack. And behind him are the Aston Martin of Fernando Alonso and the Red Bull of Max Verstappen. Tifosi was very glad that the Monegasque was leading the pack in the graphic. And they celebrated in unison on Twitter.

And they started doing their bit as fans to try and manifest a win for Leclerc at the ‘Temple of Speed’. Here is the love and wishes that Tifosi had to share for their Hero:
