The 2025 Monaco Grand Prix presented challenges for Ferrari due to tensions in radio communication between Lewis Hamilton and his engineer, leaving the team in fire-fighting mode post-race. Despite Charles Leclerc finishing second and Hamilton fifth, both drivers seemed subdued, with Hamilton particularly downbeat. Hamilton’s grid penalty for impeding Max Verstappen during Q1 set off a chain of events that left him feeling stuck in a difficult position during the race, leading to tense radio exchanges. Ferrari team principal Frederic Vasseur tried to downplay any friction, explaining the communication protocols and noting that Hamilton was not upset after the race. The peculiar radio exchange post-race, where Hamilton asked if his engineer was upset with him, highlighted the challenges of communication in such high-pressure situations, even though it was generic and normal in F1.
