Ferrari boss Fred Vasseur is hopeful that Lewis Hamilton can use the “extra boost” from the support at the Italian Grand Prix to end his podium drought in Formula 1. Hamilton’s debut weekend with Ferrari at Monza saw him finish sixth, behind team-mate Charles Leclerc, after a two-race run without points. Despite starting in 10th with a grid penalty, Hamilton made impressive overtakes but couldn’t challenge George Russell, missing a chance to undercut. Vasseur admitted that Ferrari should have been more aggressive with Hamilton’s strategy at Monza, suggesting an earlier pit stop could have been beneficial. Vasseur believes Hamilton’s performance at Monza, supported by Ferrari’s fans, showed promise, and he is confident Hamilton will reach the podium in the upcoming races. Hamilton’s improved pace and energy, fueled by the tifosi support at Monza, indicate a positive trajectory for his performances with Ferrari, potentially leading to future successes on the podium.
