F1 Today: Hamilton delivers Ferrari radio update as team boss makes honest assess
Lewis Hamilton has firmly dismissed rumors of a strained relationship with his Ferrari race engineer, Riccardo Adami, labeling the speculation as “BS.” Following tense radio exchanges during the Monaco Grand Prix, where Hamilton questioned if Adami was upset due to a lack of responses, he clarified that their working relationship remains solid. Hamilton acknowledged occasional disagreements but emphasized their shared goal of winning a championship and their dedication to improving performance .
Ferrari team principal Fred Vasseur also downplayed the incident, attributing it to early-stage collaboration and communication issues specific to Monaco. He explained that during certain sections of the track, particularly between Turn 1 and Turn 3, the team avoids communicating with the driver to prevent distractions, which may have contributed to the perceived radio silence .
Despite high expectations upon joining Ferrari, Hamilton has yet to achieve a podium finish for the team, recently finishing fifth in Monaco while teammate Charles Leclerc secured second place. The team continues to work on improving performance and communication as they adapt to the new partnership.
