\u201cconsiderable\u201d despite introducing an upgraded engine at the Italian Grand Prix.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Ferrari has lagged behind Mercedes in engine performance all season so far but the Italian team is hopeful that a second permitted upgrade via F1\u2019s Additional Upgrade and Development Opportunities [ADUO] system would help plug the gap and increase its victory hopes at Monza.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>However, seven-time world champion Hamilton claimed Ferrari was losing up to six tenths of a second to the Mercedes of George Russell on the straights alone during Friday practice.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cStraight-line speed, it\u2019s considerable,\u201d Hamilton, who ended the day fifth fastest and nearly half a second behind pacesetter Russell, replied when asked what Ferrari\u2019s main limitation was on Friday.<\/p>\n<figure> <source srcset=\"https:\/\/www.crash.net\/sites\/default\/files\/2026-09\/xpb_1432232_hires.jpg?width=1920&amp;format=webp

an upgraded engine at the Italian Grand Prix.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Ferrari has lagged behind Mercedes in engine performance all season so far but the Italian team is hopeful that a second permitted upgrade via F1\u2019s Additional Upgrade and Development Opportunities [ADUO] system would help plug the gap and increase its victory hopes at Monza.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>However, seven-time world champion Hamilton claimed Ferrari was losing up to six tenths of a second to the Mercedes of George Russell on the straights alone during Friday practice.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cStraight-line speed, it\u2019s considerable,\u201d Hamilton, who ended the day fifth fastest and nearly half a second behind pacesetter Russell, replied when asked what Ferrari\u2019s main limitation was on Friday.<\/p>\n<figure>
