Hamilton ready for ‘huge pressure’ at Ferrari’s home GP after crashing out at Zandvoort

Ferrari driver ‘fine mentally’ despite Dutch GP error

Hamilton will have five-place grid penalty at Monza

Lewis Hamilton has admitted the pressure is on as he prepares to make his debut as a Ferrari driver at the team’s home race in the Italian Grand Prix this weekend, having unceremoniously crashed out of the Dutch GP on Sunday after an unforced error.

The seven-time world champion suffered an unusual exit at Zandvoort as he went wide on the painted surface outside turn three, made slippery by light rain. He lost the rear and could not hold the car which slid into the barriers, ending his race.
