Hamilton given silent treatment by Ferrari after tense radio exchange
Lewis Hamilton was disappointed when Ferrari did not respond to his attempt to communicate with his team after the Monaco Grand Prix. Despite Ferrari’s improved performance in Monaco, Hamilton struggled due to a three-place grid penalty affecting his race weekend. He finished in fifth place, over 51 seconds behind the race winner Lando Norris. During the race, Hamilton was frustrated by the confusing information provided to him and tried to get feedback from his race engineer Riccardo Adami, but received no response. This lack of communication was surprising, considering Hamilton’s positive remarks about their relationship following the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix. Nonetheless, Ferrari had a strong showing, with Charles Leclerc finishing second on the podium. The team’s decision to use their 2024 rear wing paid off, giving them an advantage over Red Bull and Mercedes during the high downforce Monaco circuit.
