Lewis Hamilton Aims for Historic Win at Monza with Ferrari

MONZA, Italy — Lewis Hamilton is aiming for a historic victory at the Italian Grand Prix this weekend after making a notable entrance at Monza's famous circuit.

The British driver arrived in a Ferrari F40, dressed in a black suit and brown overcoat, despite the warm weather. Hamilton, a seven-time world champion, has five wins at Monza among his 105 career victories, but he is focused on achieving a first win with Ferrari at this venue.
