Hamilton accused of Ferrari conflict after numerous ‘theatrics’
A respected F1 pundit believes Lewis Hamilton’s actions at Ferrari this season have led to unnecessary tensions within the team, amid his disappointing performances following the switch from Mercedes. Despite his lack of podium finishes in 14 races, Hamilton has faced challenges both on and off the track, including tense moments with his race engineer. Former racer Ralf Schumacher has been critical of Hamilton’s behavior and suggested that he may struggle to adapt at Ferrari due to age or compatibility issues with the car. While speculation arose about Hamilton potentially leaving the team mid-season, Schumacher now doubts this will happen but remains concerned about Hamilton’s ability to excel. Currently in sixth place in the drivers’ championship, Hamilton is regrouping during the summer break before the final races of the season.
