Concern raised over Lewis Hamilton’s lack of “chemistry” with Ferrari engineer
According to a former F1 driver, there is concern over Lewis Hamilton’s lack of chemistry with race engineer Riccardo Adami after his long-term partnership with Peter ‘Bono’ Bonnington ended following a 12-year tenure at Mercedes. Adami, who previously worked with Sebastian Vettel and Carlos Sainz, has not yet clicked with Hamilton despite improvements in communication. The relationship was highlighted during the Mexico City Grand Prix when Adami informed Hamilton of a 10-second time penalty. Both Robert Doornbos and Sky Sports’ Karun Chandhok have raised questions about the communication and understanding between Hamilton and Adami, suggesting a lack of chemistry and poor delivery from the engineer. The concerns remain as Hamilton adapts to working with a new race engineer for the first time in almost a decade.
