Ferrari Upgrade a Step But Not All We Need Hamilton Lewis Hamilton's assessment of Ferrari's latest engine upgrade has shed light on the Italian team's fragile hopes for a home victory at the Italian Grand Prix.
The upgrade, which Hamilton described as a "step forward," is far from the comprehensive solution Ferrari needs to bridge the gap with Mercedes.
The Ferrari engine has struggled to keep pace with its rivals on straights all season, despite impressive cornering prowess. As a result, the team has consistently lagged behind in terms of outright speed.
