'My Italian Bono!' - Hamilton hails Ferrari engineer as form improves

Lewis Hamilton says he feels as though he has successfully "managed to move a lot of things on the chessboard" in his second year at Ferrari, as he hailed the impact of his race engineer amid his positive start to the 2026 season.

Hamilton heads into this weekend's Monaco Grand Prix on the back of his best result for Ferrari so far last time out in Montreal, when he finished second. It marked his second podium finish for the team in five races, after none across 24 events in 2025.
