F1 radio drama overshadows “more worrying” aspect of Lewis Hamilton’s Monaco GP
Ex-F1 strategist Bernie Collins believes Lewis Hamilton’s lack of pace during the Monaco Grand Prix weekend was more worrisome than the team radio issues he faced. Despite donning Ferrari colors, Hamilton struggled in Monaco and finished a distant fifth, nearly 50 seconds behind teammate Charles Leclerc. The race began with Hamilton receiving a grid penalty for impeding Max Verstappen, which set the tone for a challenging weekend. Hamilton’s confusion over team radio and inability to keep up with the top drivers raised concerns. Moving forward, Hamilton’s performance at the Circuit de Catalunya-Barcelona will be crucial in getting his season back on track after a series of setbacks, including struggling with pace relative to Leclerc.
