Taking pole position and then withstanding a ferocious late-race attack from a five-time world champion to claim the first F1 win of your career, and Ferrari’s first of the season – it should have been a fantastic weekend for Charles Leclerc. But with the death of his friend, Formula 2 racer Anthoine Hubert at Spa yesterday, the Monegasque driver admitted that it was hard to truly savour the taste of victory.

Leclerc led the majority of the race at Spa-Francorchamps, having taken his third career pole on Saturday. However, in the final stages of the race, Mercerdes’s Lewis Hamilton piled on the pressure, with the pair crossing the line with less than a second separating them.
