Struggling to envision a victory podium stance in Monza proves challenging for Hamilton.

In the world of Formula 1, the Italian Grand Prix at Monza is a race steeped in history, and this weekend, seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton will make his debut with Ferrari. However, the Briton finds himself facing a grid penalty due to an incident during practice.

Hamilton has previously stood on the podium at Monza, but this time, he is determined to make up the positions lost due to the penalty. The Tifosi, Ferrari's passionate fans, are expected to be present on the straight and during the parade lap, adding to the electrifying atmosphere.

Meanwhile, in a separate development, Liberty Media, the current owners of Formula 1, have expressed their openness to the possibility of selling the sport. This potential sale could have implications for teams like Red Bull Racing, particularly with regard to their strategies involving Max Verstappen.

Reports suggest that a potential sale could present an interesting dilemma for Red Bull, as they consider Verstappen's future. The 'Hajar promotion', mentioned in relation to this potential dilemma, centres around Isack Hadjar, whose strong rookie season and first F1 podium in 2025 have made him the leading candidate to join Verstappen in the main Red Bull team in 2026. This follows Sergio Pérez's departure and Liam Lawson being moved back to the junior team, with Yuki Tsunoda expected to leave the main team due to unsatisfactory results despite Honda's financial backing.

Hamilton, however, seems more concerned with the grid penalty he received for driving too fast under double yellow flags. He finds it harsh to receive the penalty and penalty points for the incident. The nature of the 'Hajar promotion' and the implications of the potential sale of Formula 1 are yet to be fully understood.

One thing is certain, though: the historic track at Monza is an incredible experience for drivers, and Hamilton will undoubtedly be eager to make the most of his Ferrari debut, despite the grid penalty. The race promises to be a thrilling spectacle, with Hamilton and Verstappen potentially battling it out for top positions.
