Ferrari has missed its opportunity to shape F1 title fight – Hamilton - RACER

Lewis Hamilton expressed frustration after finishing sixth at the Italian Grand Prix, where he and Ferrari teammate Charles Leclerc clashed on the opening lap, with Hamilton being pushed wide at the chicane and losing multiple positions. Leclerc later crashed out, while Andrea Kimi Antonelli won the race from 19th on the grid. Hamilton believes Ferrari has fallen too far behind Mercedes in the championship standings, stating it is 'a number of weeks too late' for the team to take the necessary steps to mount a serious title challenge in the 2026 Formula 1 season.
