Charles Leclerc was left thrilled by his superb victory in the United States Grand Prix, with the Monegasque stating that Ferrari are “targeting the title” after the squad took a dominant one-two at the Circuit of The Americas.
While Leclerc had lined up in P4 on the grid – one position behind team mate Carlos Sainz – the 27-year-old enjoyed an impressive start, having benefitted from pole-sitter Lando Norris going wide in his scrap with Max Verstappen up ahead to surge through into P1 on the opening lap.

It then proved to be a smooth drive to the chequered flag for Leclerc as he took his third win of the season and eighth of his F1 career so far, a dream result following some ups and downs during the weekend in Austin.
“[I’m] very happy,” Leclerc said after jumping out of the car. “It hasn’t been an easy weekend, until now I have been struggling a bit with the feeling with the car, but I had the confidence that in the race the feeling was better and it was the case.
“We’ve seen it yesterday in the Sprint race, we were a bit… not scared, but we thought the others would improve a lot more today but we still had the upper hand, so [I’m] really happy with today. A one-two for the team, we couldn’t have dreamed for better.”
