刘易斯·汉密尔顿认为，梅赛德斯在蒙扎拥有对法拉利的极速优势，这一优势将在F1意大利大奖赛中至关重要。

法拉利根据ADUO规则获准在蒙扎带来了引擎升级，并在其主场站开局表现亮眼，夏尔·勒克莱尔在第一次练习赛中领跑，助车队占据前两名。
但在第二节练习赛中，乔治·拉塞爾（拉塞尔）奋起反击，为梅赛德斯拿下全场最快，勒克莱尔（Leclerc）位居第二，而汉密尔顿仅列第五，落后0.457秒。虽然调校上的改动在二练中似乎适得其反，汉密尔顿还对梅赛德斯展现出的明显极速优势感到担忧。
“直线速度非常值得担忧，”汉密尔顿说。“看看刚才的差距，仅在直道上我就比乔治慢了大约0.6秒。这是我们需要研究的问题。
“然后就是平衡性，真的很难从车里做出一个像样的单圈。出于某种原因，FP2的车并不好开。所以我们做了一些改动，但本来不应该这么糟。所以我们可能会回退设置，但我们会看一看能否让赛车变得更好。”
汉密尔顿并不确定极速落后梅赛德斯的原因，但他对升级版引擎表示了认可——据了解该引擎能多提供15马力，预计可将与梅赛德斯的差距缩小一半。
“如果是部署问题的话，那是我们需要研究的，”汉密尔顿谈到这一差距时说。“但发动机是一项进步，我非常感谢工厂里为此努力的伙计们。不过我们的部署计划与我们的竞争对手们不同。
法拉利车队领队弗雷德·瓦塞尔也对发动机升级表示支持，并认为与梅赛德斯的差距是多重因素造成的，而不仅仅是发动机功率。
“看起来他们在直道上的阻力可能更小，所以这绝对是我们需要研究的问题，”瓦塞尔说。
“你必须记住直线性能的问题。这关乎阻力，关乎赛车重量，关乎一切。不仅仅是发动机。我们确实迈进了一步，我们带来ADUO2可不是白来的。但我认为我们仍然有相当大的差距。”

Lewis Hamilton worried about Mercedes top speed after Italian GP practice
Lewis Hamilton feels Ferrari has work to do to counter the Mercedes top speed at Monza following Friday practice at the F1 Italian GP
Lewis Hamilton feels Mercedes has a top speed advantage over Ferrari at Monza which will be crucial at the Formula 1 Italian Grand Prix.
Ferrari delivered an engine upgrade at Monza as permitted under ADUO, and started its home round brightly with Charles Leclerc leading a 1-2 in first practice.
But in second practice George Russell fought back to top the session for Mercedes ahead of Leclerc in second with Hamilton down in fifth with a 0.457s deficit. While set-up changes appeared to backfire during second practice, Hamilton was also concerned by the superior top speed Mercedes demonstrated.
“Straightline speed, it's considerable to worry about,” Hamilton said. “Just looking at the deltas just there, I was losing something like six tenths to George, just in the straights. Which is something we need to look into.
“Then just balance, it was really, really hard to pull the lap out of the car. It was not an easy one to drive in FP2 for some reason. So we made a couple of changes but it shouldn't have really been bad. So we might revert, but we're going to look and see if we can make the car better.”
Hamilton was unsure what was causing the top speed deficit to Mercedes but did given approval to the upgraded engine which is understood to provide 15bhp more and is estimated to halve the deficit to Mercedes.
“What we need to look into, if it's deployment,” Hamilton said about the deficit. “But the engine is an improvement which I'm really grateful for the guys back at the factory for working on. But our deployment schedule is different to the others, our competitors.
Ferrari team boss Fred Vasseur also gave backing to the engine upgrade and felt the deficit to Mercedes was down to multiple factors rather than solely engine power.
“It seems like they maybe have less drag for the straights, so that's something we need to definitely look at,” Vasseur said.
“You have to keep in mind the performance in the straight line. It's the drag, it's the weight of the car, it's everything. It's not just the engine. We did a step for sure and we didn't bring ADUO2 for nothing. But I think we still have a decent gap.”
