Despite starting 13th, Hamilton’s former colleague Davidson emphasized his fortune in avoiding severe damage to his car. Looking to rebuild confidence after a challenging 2025 season, Hamilton’s recent performance at the Italian GP showed promise as he eyes a strong finish and a competitive 2026 campaign amidst new regulations.
