After the race for the Russian GP, Ferrari found itself on the front pages of Italian newspapers again, but this time for completely different reasons than after the Singapore race. While the Italian public celebrated a double victory a week ago, this time the hot topic was a fight between Sebastian Vettel and Charles Leclerc.
The Italian press has unanimously emphasized that Ferrari's race leadership did not perform well, and the team commands at the start of the race only created additional confusion that made Ferrari easy to win.
So what did the main Italian sports media write about the day after the Sochi race…
