Lewis Hamilton's Ferrari Strategy Tensions Emerge During Miami GP

Lewis Hamilton's Miami Grand Prix with Ferrari highlighted mounting frustrations as contentious team orders and sarcastic radio exchanges revealed tension within the team. Hamilton, on a different tire strategy from teammate Charles Leclerc, became irritated when Ferrari hesitated to let him pass, ultimately criticizing the team's decision-making and suggesting they "take a tea break." The delayed response meant Hamilton lost valuable tire performance, and the subsequent reversal of positions failed to improve Ferrari's race result, leaving both drivers dissatisfied. The incident drew scrutiny from commentators, including Martin Brundle, who emphasized that Hamilton's public frustrations cannot be easily undone and reflected broader issues with Ferrari's strategy and internal dynamics. Hamilton later downplayed the radio comments but showed little intention of apologizing, citing the pressures of racing. The episode underscored both Ferrari's current competitive struggles and the adjustment challenges facing Hamilton in his new team.
