Italian GP: Lewis Hamilton the fastest in practice one on Monza Bow for Ferrari with Charles Leclerc Second | F1 News
Lewis Hamilton directed his teammate Charles Leclerc in a two impressive two while Ferrari began to fly for his Italian Grand Prix at home in practice one in Monza.
A year after Leclerc’s emotional victory before the Tifosi for Monza’s home team, Ferrari’s car once again impressed in the rapid low reinforcement conditions required at the F1 Temple of Speed ’.
Leclerc had initially proven the fastest of the two Ferraris and directed the time sheet until the end of the minutes of the opening session when Hamilton led to a 1: 20.177 to pivot his teammate from 0.1, ensuring that the British marked his first session
Hamilton already knows that he will start the race on Sunday of not more than sixth because of a penalty of the grid postponed last week in Zandvoort for a counterfeit yellow flag before this race, but will surely be supported by his solid departure on a track where he is the holder of the joint record for victories.
“He needs to take advantage of these moments,” said Sky Sports F1 Karun Chandhok.
“Maybe they have their engines, maybe they didn’t do it, everything will become clear tomorrow. But it’s a good start to the weekend. Enjoy it.”
Williams can also be satisfied with their own start of theft for the event on a track in which they went well in the recent past after Carlos Sainz finished third, although 0.5 s on Hamilton.
With Max Verstappen fourth in the Red Bull having done the initial race of the session, the dominant championship leaders McLaren have unusually started well.
Lando Norris was sixth and 0.9 s back on Hamilton after difficulties in his soft type races, including a trip through the gravel to the high -speed.
The leader of the Oscar Piastri championship led to the opening session while McLaren gave a second outing of the season to Alex Dunne in Ireland. The F2 course finished 18th faster, half a second behind Norris.
Italy Kimi Antonelli was a fiery fifth at the start of its first full home grand prix, but Mercedes’ teammate George Russell, who was the fastest, ended the session by stopping on the side of the track due to a suspected hydraulic fault of his car.
Antonelli, then in F2, crashed at the parabolica a few minutes after his debut in F1 when he gave a team’s exercise during his home event last year.
Williams finished with their cars comfortably in the top 10 while Alex Albon took seventh, with Fernando Alonso Ninth for Aston Martin and the 10th Hadjar of Racing Bulls.
Hadjar released the red flag in the 20 -minute fence after having widely run to Ascari Chicane brought gravel to the circuit.
