Ferrari team principal Frédéric Vasseur has responded to Lewis Hamilton’s intense radio messages during the Spanish Grand Prix, calling them “emotional but understandable” in the heat of competition. The seven-time world champion was heard expressing frustration over his car’s performance and strategy, which some fans and commentators described as unusually sharp for the Mercedes driver.

Hamilton, who has struggled with consistency this season, was battling both Ferrari drivers for position during key moments of the race. His radio communications, broadcast during the race, included pointed remarks about tire degradation and perceived strategic errors by the team.

Speaking after the race, Vasseur acknowledged the heightened emotions. “When you’re pushing to the limit at 300 kilometers per hour, it’s normal to express frustration. We all want to win, and emotions are part of that,” he said. “I didn’t take it personally, and I don’t think Mercedes did either. It shows he’s still incredibly passionate.”

Despite the dramatic radio outbursts, Hamilton managed to finish in the points, continuing his streak of top-ten finishes. The 2025 season has seen growing tensions between top teams as the fight for podiums intensifies, with Ferrari, Red Bull, and Mercedes all closely matched.

Hamilton later clarified his comments, stating that his frustration was “purely in the moment” and not directed at any individual. The exchange highlights the pressure drivers face as the championship battle heats up heading into the summer stretch
