Seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton said the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix was the first time he felt at one with his Ferrari Formula 1 car since his China sprint win. Hamilton's shock pole-to-flag victory in Shanghai proved to be an outlier in what has otherwise been a difficult campaign that has not brought the results he was hoping to achieve on his fresh start in a new environment.

Lewis Hamilton finished his first Formula 1 race in Italy for Ferrari by dedicating his result to the team’s fans.

Ferrari were unable to make it out of Q2 at their home race, with Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton qualifying in 11th and 12th respectively, much to the dismay of the Tifosi.
