Monza misery for Ferrari as Leclerc crashes out and Hamilton limps home in sixth
Ferrari's hopes for a successful Italian Grand Prix were dashed as Lewis Hamilton finished in a disappointing sixth place, more than 20 seconds behind race leader Kimi Antolin. The race saw Charles Leclerc crash out early, losing control coming out of Parabolica at the end of Lap 2 and swerving off into the barriers at high speed.
Leclerc expressed frustration with the car's performance, stating that he had noticed a difference in power delivery between Laps 1 and 2. The incident also raised questions about the relationship between Leclerc and Hamilton after a tense tussle at the second corner, which saw Hamilton fall from fourth to 10th place.
