Lewis Hamilton pursues record sixth Italian Grand Prix victory at Monza

Lewis Hamilton enters the 13th round of the Formula One world championship at the historic Monza circuit seeking to claim a record sixth victory at the Italian Grand Prix. The seven-time champion currently trails leader Kimi Antonelli by 59 points in the standings. Mercedes plans to issue a grid penalty to Antonelli for an engine change, which will force the leader to start at the back of the grid. Ferrari intends to introduce an updated power unit for their home race, with drivers Charles Leclerc and Hamilton aiming to capitalize on the technical adjustments. Meanwhile, Max Verstappen prepares for the weekend with an upgraded Honda power unit in his Red Bull after crashing out during the opening lap at Zandvoort. The event also commemorates the 30th anniversary of Michael Schumacher's first victory with Ferrari.
