P1racenews AI automatic summary:
Lewis Hamilton will take a five-place grid penalty at the Italian Grand Prix this weekend.
Lewis Hamilton expressed his surprise at receiving a grid penalty for the upcoming Italian Grand Prix. The penalty was a result of him driving too fast under yellow flags during last Sunday’s reconnaissance laps for the Dutch Grand Prix. The stewards determined that Hamilton failed to slow down sufficiently in a section of the track where teams were preparing for the race start. In addition to receiving two penalty points on his super license, Hamilton was handed a five-place grid penalty for the Monza race, placing him at a disadvantage. Despite the setback, Hamilton acknowledged the penalty, learned from it, and remained focused on the challenge ahead. The penalty means he will start no higher than sixth place, which adds to the difficulty of trying to achieve a strong result at a track where one-lap pace has been a challenge for him recently. Hamilton is determined to make up for the penalty, stay motivated, and fight to climb up the grid during his first Monza Grand Prix as a Ferrari driver.
