Starting from P10 on the grid, Leclerc executed a series of daring overtakes that saw him gain three positions in just five corners, a feat that left fans and pundits alike in awe of his abilities.

The young Monegasque driver's aggressive yet precise manoeuvres not only demonstrated his exceptional talent but also underscored Ferrari's competitive spirit amidst a challenging season.
