Hamilton Energised by Tifosi Finishes Sixth at Italian Grand Prix

Lewis Hamilton's debut Italian Grand Prix as a Ferrari driver at Monza was marked by strong performances and enthusiastic support from the passionate Tifosi fans, who energized him throughout the weekend. Despite starting tenth due to a grid penalty, Hamilton fought back to finish sixth, impressing team boss Fred Vasseur, who expressed confidence that Hamilton would reach the podium before the season's end. Ferrari, while showing improved pace and closing the gap to leaders McLaren, fell short of a podium finish at their home race, with teammate Charles Leclerc finishing fourth. Vasseur highlighted the special energy the Tifosi provided Hamilton, contributing to his positive mood and performance after a challenging period earlier in the season. Hamilton himself praised his car's performance and the unique atmosphere created by Ferrari's fanbase, calling it a dream to drive for the team. The team looks ahead optimistically to upcoming races where they expect to be competitive and closer to challenging for victories.
