Lewis Hamilton hopeful of Monaco F1 success despite ‘massive’ Mercedes deficit

Lewis Hamilton expressed optimism about Ferrari's chances at the Monaco Grand Prix, despite acknowledging that Ferrari's SF-26 is 'massively down' on power compared to Mercedes. Hamilton secured a second-place finish at the Canadian GP, his best result with Ferrari to date, though he was heard complaining about a lack of power while chasing Max Verstappen. He noted that Monaco's street circuit is less dependent on power unit performance, giving Ferrari a potential advantage over the dominant Mercedes.
