Ferrari BET ON AI To Solve Hamilton & Leclerc’s MONZA Problem! | F1 News

Video summary

F1 News today as Ferrari turn to AI to solve a unique Monza problem for Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc — with the Scuderia trying to squeeze everything from its upgraded power unit at the Italian Grand Prix. Ferrari’s new ADUO2 engine has cleared reliability validation and is set for Monza, but the long straights create a major hybrid-energy challenge. Reports say Ferrari are using artificial intelligence to help optimise battery management and energy deployment for qualifying and the race. Could AI help Ferrari unlock the performance Hamilton and Leclerc need at home? 👉 Subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/@F1Grandstand?sub_confirmation=1 Welcome to F1 Grandstand with Tony Craig for daily F1 News, Formula 1 News, F1 2026 updates and the biggest stories from Ferrari, Mercedes, McLaren, Aston Martin and the rest of the grid. 🔴 FERRARI CALL IN AI FOR MONZA Ferrari’s upgraded engine is ready — but Monza’s limited battery-recovery opportunities create another headache. AI is reportedly being used to help define hybrid management strategies and maximise the power unit over one lap and race distance. Is this smart innovation — or proof Ferrari still have a major energy-management weakness? 🏆 HAMILTON CHASING A 62-YEAR FERRARI RECORD Lewis Hamilton can become the first British driver to win the Italian Grand Prix for Ferrari since John Surtees in 1964. The parallels are remarkable: Surtees won at Monza on September 6 before going on to take the world title. Hamilton arrives at Monza on September 6, 2026 with one Grand Prix victory for Ferrari already this season. Could history repeat itself? 🟠 NORRIS GETS A HUGE McLAREN CONTRACT BONUS Lando Norris has extended his McLaren contract until at least the end of 2030 — and McLaren are giving him one of the MCL39 chassis he raced during his 2025 world championship-winning season. That is one very expensive souvenir. ⚠️ RUSSELL GRID PENALTY COMING Mercedes have confirmed George Russell is also expected to need a full power-unit change and grid penalty before the end of the season. Kimi Antonelli will take his penalty at Monza, but Mercedes have not yet decided where Russell will take his. Baku is one possible candidate — but reliability and mileage could force Mercedes to act earlier. Could this become a major twist in the championship fight? 💚 ALONSO SHUTS DOWN HONDA FUTURE THEORY Fernando Alonso says the performance of Honda’s upgraded engine is NOT what will decide whether he continues in Formula 1 beyond 2026. For Alonso, the bigger issue is whether Aston Martin and Honda can prove their development direction and factory-to-track correlation are working. So what exactly is Alonso waiting to see before making his decision? 👇 JOIN THE DEBATE Can Ferrari win at Monza? Could Hamilton make history? Is Norris right to commit to McLaren until 2030? Where should Russell take his penalty? And will Alonso still be racing in 2027? 👍 SMASH LIKE if you enjoyed tonight’s show and SUBSCRIBE for daily F1 News, Formula 1 News, F1 Live and F1 2026 coverage. 🏁 Come for the vibe.
