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 power unit is 'massively down' compared to Mercedes, who have won every race so far this season except the Miami Sprint. Hamilton secured his best result for Ferrari with a second-place finish at the Canadian Grand Prix, though he was heard complaining about a lack of power while chasing race leader Max Verstappen. Hamilton believes Monaco's street circuit, where raw power is less critical, could suit the SF-26 and give Ferrari a stronger competitive showing.
