Martin Brundle noted a more cheerful Lewis Hamilton during the Italian Grand Prix. Hamilton appeared invigorated by the enthusiastic support of Ferrari fans at Monza, where he raced for the first time representing the iconic team.
Hamilton’s initial season with Ferrari has been challenging. Aside from a win in the Chinese Grand Prix, he has struggled to adapt to the new team and car, facing few standout moments.
After a disappointing Hungarian Grand Prix, where Hamilton criticized his performance, he showed improvement following the summer break. At Monza, despite a grid penalty, he managed to climb from 10th to finish sixth, boosted by the fervent Ferrari supporters.
Observing Hamilton closely, Sky Sports pundit Brundle believes Hamilton has shifted his mindset, leading to a renewed enjoyment of racing. Despite this positive development, Hamilton still grapples with feeling comfortable in the Ferrari, finding the driving style required a bit alien to him.
Hamilton acknowledges the ongoing adjustment, expressing that he is gradually improving and gaining confidence with each race as he adapts to the new car and driving style.
