Lewis Hamilton was disappointed to qualify sixth for the Italian Grand Prix, feeling that his mistakes cost him a shot at pole position. Despite initially being on the second row after his first run in Q3, he slipped to sixth on his final lap. The top six drivers were separated by a mere 0.186s overall, with Hamilton admitting he failed to put a clean lap together to beat Lando Norris’ time. Taking responsibility for his performance, Hamilton acknowledged that qualifying has been a weakness for him recently. Looking ahead, while he aims to reset for the race, he humorously suggested Mercedes might fare better with him at Ferrari in 2025 and Andrea Kimi Antonelli taking his place. Hamilton plans to focus on making the most of the race despite starting from sixth and aims to fight his way up the grid to challenge for a podium finish.
