Hamilton reveals why he failed to follow Ferrari team orders
Lewis Hamilton was unable to follow a late Ferrari command at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, finishing eighth in Baku, just ahead of team-mate Charles Leclerc. After overtaking Leclerc on a different strategy, Hamilton had a faster car but slowed down at the team’s command to let Leclerc pass. However, Hamilton didn’t slow down quick enough, resulting in him finishing ahead of his teammate. Hamilton took responsibility for the misjudgment, stating he will apologize to Leclerc, acknowledging that it was only eighth and ninth places in the end. The incident saw Hamilton in a Ferrari blunder, leading to a penalty, with FIA summoning George Russell for a doping test after the race. Meanwhile, Max Verstappen dominated McLaren, shaking up the title race at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix.
