TEMPERS FLARE BETWEEN LEWIS HAMILTON AND FERRARI IN MIAMI GP RADIO TRANSCRIPT

 

Tempers flare between Lewis Hamilton and Ferrari in Miami GP radio transcript:

— Ferrari’s strategy confusion boiled over during the Miami Grand Prix as Lewis Hamilton voiced his frustration over slow pit wall decisions and unclear team orders. His battle with teammate Charles Leclerc saw multiple radio outbursts as he felt blocked and unsupported in his pursuit of Andrea Kimi Antonelli’s Mercedes.

— Hamilton sharply criticized his race engineer during a wheel-to-wheel moment, as captured in this radio message cited in the article:

“Stop talking to me while I’m freaking [in] battle, man! Geesh! In the braking zone you’re talking to me!”

— As Hamilton burned through his tyres behind Leclerc, he questioned the lack of swift decision-making:

“How far are people ahead of Charles? I’m just burning up my tyres behind him.”

— When Adami replied with position gaps and suggested maintaining DRS, Hamilton was unimpressed:

“So you want me to just sit here [behind Leclerc] the whole race?”

— Ferrari eventually agreed to a swap after Hamilton referenced the Chinese GP:

“In China I got out of the way when you were on a different strategy!”

— Upon being granted the swap, Hamilton added sarcasm to his frustration:

“Ah! Have a tea break while you’re at it! Come on!”

— After Leclerc let him through, the gap to Antonelli was already too wide:

“Well now I’ve used all my tyres!”

— Later, as Ferrari called for a re-swap, Hamilton resisted again:

“So you don’t think I can catch up or what??”

— The team’s poor communication led to confusion over the timing of the switch, culminating in another biting remark:

“You want me to let him [Sainz] past as well?”

— The race ended with no radio reply from Hamilton after Adami offered standard post-race praise.
