“So I think Lewis is absolutely right to say he didn’t want to come in, but why is that conversation taking place in the middle of the race? What is going on at Ferrari?”
According to F1 expert Peter Windsor, Lewis Hamilton was completely justified in questioning Ferrari’s pit stop strategy at the Austrian Grand Prix. Despite finishing fourth, Hamilton equaled his best result in a grand prix, just behind teammate Charles Leclerc. Hamilton aims to secure his first podium of the season at Silverstone. At Lap 50, Hamilton was displeased with the decision for a second pit stop by Ferrari. Ferrari insisted Hamilton pit, even though he was ahead of Leclerc who had just completed his final stop. Despite Hamilton’s protest, Ferrari made the strategic call to bring him in, which was later deemed correct after the race.
