Hamilton: Monza feels different this time

The seven-time world champion is looking for his first win at the Italian circuit since 2018

Lewis Hamilton says Monza "feels different" this time around as he looks to end his winless streak at the Italian Grand Prix. The seven-time world champion has not won at the circuit since 2018, but he is confident that he can challenge for victory this weekend.

Hamilton has a good record at Monza

Hamilton has a good record at Monza, having won there five times in his career. However, he has not been able to win there since 2018, when he benefited from a late safety car to take the victory.

In 2019, Hamilton finished third behind Charles Leclerc and Valtteri Bottas. Last year, he was fourth behind Max Verstappen, Sergio Perez, and Lando Norris.

Hamilton is confident of a good result

Despite his recent struggles at Monza, Hamilton is confident that he can challenge for victory this weekend. He said: "I think we have a good car this year and I'm feeling confident. I love racing at Monza and I'm looking forward to getting back on the podium."

Hamilton will be hoping to take advantage of the fact that Ferrari, the dominant team at Monza in recent years, is not as strong this season.

Mercedes has a good chance of winning

Mercedes has a good chance of winning at Monza this weekend. The team has been in good form in recent races and Hamilton is one of the best drivers in the world.

If Hamilton can win at Monza, it would be a major boost to his hopes of winning an eighth world championship.
