Fred Vasseur has discussed the expectations for the Italian Grand Prix, particularly regarding Lewis Hamilton, who will be making his debut with Ferrari.
It is undoubtedly one of the most anticipated weekends of the year. The Italian GP has always represented an event full of charm and passion, one that every driver dreams of experiencing dressed in Red. Lewis Hamilton will finally have his chance to arrive at Monza as a Ferrari driver and, according to Fred Vasseur, he can count on a boost of enthusiasm that will help him regain the right form.
Indeed, even in the Netherlands, despite showing a mood that seemed different from what he displayed in Hungary before the summer break, the British driver faced another disappointing result. A retirement caused by his own mistake prevented him from completing a race that, in hindsight, could have seen him fighting for a podium. Nevertheless, Hamilton expressed considerable confidence ahead of the home race for the Prancing Horse, a sign of a likely regained mental strength.
Fred Vasseur explains the expectations for the weekend
This should be the starting point for building an important weekend, one that fans hope could lead to Hamilton’s first podium with the Red car. It will not be easy, especially considering the penalty imposed by the stewards, but Hamilton and Ferrari will certainly give their all.
Fred Vasseur also confirmed this at Zandvoort when discussing the expectations for Lewis Hamilton. He explained that being at Monza for the first time as a Ferrari driver will definitely help. Over the next few days, debriefings will analyze what happened in the Netherlands, but Hamilton’s reaction at the end of the race was very positive compared to recent weeks. Fighting for fourth or fifth place allowed him to regain enthusiasm. Now he is confident, and Vasseur believes this is a positive sign ahead of the upcoming weekend.
