“Starting further back, Hamilton faces a tough challenge to climb the ranks.”
Lewis Hamilton has been handed a five-place grid penalty ahead of the Italian Grand Prix. The penalty comes after his team made technical changes that breached F1 regulations, forcing him to start further back than originally planned.
The drop means Hamilton will need to battle through the field if he wants to challenge for a podium or victory. His team is already planning race strategies, including pit-stop timing and tire management, to help him regain positions during the race.
Hamilton, a multiple-time world champion, acknowledged the challenge but remains confident. “It’s never ideal to start further back, but we’ll push hard and make the most of the race,” he said. He also noted that past races have shown how quickly overtaking is possible at Monza, giving him hope for a strong performance.
The Italian GP promises to be an exciting weekend, with fans eager to see how Hamilton and other top drivers adapt to the changing grid positions. Weather conditions, tire choices, and race strategies will all play key roles in determining the final outcome.
