"Hamilton, who observed bluntly that he had no expectation his first season would prove so volatile, has struggled with an uncompetitive car as well as having to adapt to a new team, having enjoyed enormous success in the previous 12 years with Mercedes. It has been a tough transition and he goes into the Italian Grand Prix after an uncharacteristic error at the last round in the Dutch GP that saw him crash out early."
"I'd like to think that even though we had a difficult Sunday, we are coming towards the brighter end of the tunnel, he said. I read something recently where it said: There's no point stressing about tomorrow because it often puts shade on the present.' So I'm really trying not to worry about tomorrow. I'm really trying to be in the present and enjoy every moment because this half of the season has gone by really quickly."
Lewis Hamilton has experienced an emotional and volatile first season at Ferrari, coping with an uncompetitive car and adapting to a new team after 12 successful years at Mercedes. The transition included an early crash at the Dutch Grand Prix and a subsequent five-place grid penalty for failing to slow under a yellow flag in Zandvoort. Hamilton has gone 17 races without a podium, the longest drought of his career, and sits sixth in the world championship. With McLaren leading and teams focusing on 2026 development, wins are unlikely this year. Hamilton intends to enjoy his first Monza appearance in Ferrari and stay present.
