F1 | Hamilton: “Ferrari very close, like at Spa”

Fastest in the morning, but second at the end of the day. Lewis Hamilton he had to give way to his colleague Bottas, which at the conclusion of Free 2 he took home the best time on Friday on that day Monza. The three-time world champion instead finished with a time of 1:21.462, 56 thousandths from the top. Here are his terse, but positive, statements from Friday.

“It was a good, clean day. We have set the pace, and completed our work program without problems. The car seems well balanced on this track. We just have a little work to do to get a little more power out. With the Ferrari we seem very close, so I can anticipate that the situation between us and them will be similar to the previous race."
