Ferrari’s Engine Upgrade Only a Partial Gain, Lewis Hamilton Says

At the Italian Grand Prix, Ferrari unveiled a new engine package that Lewis Hamilton described as a "step forward" but insufficient for full competitiveness. Hamilton, a former Ferrari driver, noted that while the upgrade improves performance, it does not yet bring the car to the level required to contend with the front‑row teams. The comments come ahead of the race, where Ferrari will test the new power unit under race conditions. The team’s engineers will analyze the data to determine whether further tweaks are needed before the season’s final rounds.
