He has won for all seven world championships, Lewis Hamilton, if not a model of humble humble, when that race reflects on the past, has maintained a certain heart-smooth quality. Not for him, Stentorian Bragadosio will expect you from the person who chalked out that level of achievement in another game.
So when he said at the end of this week, after the Italian Grand Prix in Monza, “Competition for the top three is away from the card for a while”You think this is a realistic evaluation, if one is probably experienced with a touch of pessimism.
He was speaking in the context of a race where Ferrari had disappointed Monza by eliminating the podium after a clearly strong performance in practice. Team’s partner Charles Lakeler and he was 1-2 in the first session on Friday, but after that it was a gentle slide.
Hamilton started the 10th place, when he moved beyond the controversial grid penalty zandwort, but threatened George Russell’s fifth place, until Ferrari’s strategy to expand the first stent of Ferrari failed to work as expected. In addition to its appearance and ups and downs mood, this year the main conspiracy around Hamilton has lacked speed for Lakeler – which was more narrow than before in Monza.
So, speaking differently to Ferrari boss Frederick Wasseer-Hamilton, took a different view in his general post-respective briefing when Louise’s podium was asked about the possibility of landing, saying loudly that it was possible.
“Yes, because he was able to fight with Russell in the Zandwort, and today returned to Russell’s gearbox from P10 (on the grid),” Vasasur said.
“Russell was on one -two times on the podium. Yes, we (Hamilton) can expect to be on the podium.”

Given that Mercedes had to get out of several development stages, mainly a new rear-nilson geometry, as the first podium run in Russell’s season, you can argue that Vasasur’s silogism does not stand enough for continuous inquiries.
In Monza, Lakeler set foot on Russell in qualifying and race. You can also see the fact that Charles has passed the Oscar Piastry twice for the third place in the initial laps that Ferrari is still capable of podium, even though there is not a currently run by Hamilton.
But Ferrari has clearly been compromising against the Chinese Grand Prix weekend to reduce against Planck Wear, where Lewis won the sprint, but was then disqualified from the main event. Lakeler claimed five podiums this season, which includes second place in Monaco, but certainly one of the most defined race of Ferrari came to Hungary – where the Lakeler suddenly fell at a speed after his second stop. Russell, who was the following, concluded that Lakeler was managing an issue and suggested that Ferrari was forced to drive high pressure on the last set of rubber.
Competitive photographs for the majority of this season have been one of the clear McLaren superiority in most circuits, while ‘Front-Red’-Red Bull, Ferrari, Ferrari, Mercedes-TRAR, according to the performance of the characteristics and tires. Raised question Red bull’s unexpected speed in Monza Whether it was united, or was a more prolonged innings unlocked by the new floor fitted for the RB21 of Max Verustapen.
This appears to be a dispute of Hamilton – that Ferrari is now the third fastest, so the fourth and fifth positions are the best, it can expect that all other factors are the same.
“I think today Charles was giving it everything,” he said to Sky Sports F1 after the race.
“And you know that we have found Max which is now out and we do not have the speed of the red bull. Today they were fast and then we do not have McLaren speed, so currently I think we are fourth, fifth like the fourth.
“If we do an extraordinary work, perhaps we will pop a podium here and there. I think there is definitely a chance to be at some point, but in the context of pure speed, we currently have it.”

Given, Lakeler gave the piasture something to think about the early stages of Monza race, but he warmed his tires to do so and the second time the piastry left them back to manage them after passing them. Given the highlights package in the ‘Green Room’ ahead of the podium, the piastry can clearly be heard telling the McLaren Team-Mate Lando Noris that the lakeler was early in a straight line, but was slow around the corners, which suggests very low downforce settings.
The low tire fall then caught everyone, who extended their first stent in the hope of getting an advantage in the closing laps. Both Hamilton and Vasasur said that it may be possible to reduce Russell at the stop.
“We were able to return to Russell at the end of the first term,” said Vasasur.
“Then we took a condition to expand and finally tried to take advantage of a tire, but the DEG was very low and did not work. But I think it was the best way to try to get ahead of Russell on the track.
“Perhaps if I had to do it again, I would put Lewis in the pit a little earlier, but I think it was the best option to try something different.”
Hamilton still talks about not having “100% comfortable” with the car and its characteristics, and it is what is catching him back. But when the podium monza seemed a distant possibility, other tracks are coming where Ferrari has been historically strong and an opportunity may still arise.
This is the cruelty to Vasasur’s argument and is committed to finishing second in the Consentor Championship for Ferrari, even if it is only the third or fourth fastest on the track. In this, of course, he is effectively one-car team by Red Bull.
“I think we have some tracks where we are also in good shape,” he said.
“To start with the next one. We are historically always in good shape in Baku.
“Lakshya is also to finish P2 in the championship. McLaren is on another planet – we are fighting with red bulls and Mercedes.”
Being positive is becoming a challenge for Hamilton
