Lewis Hamilton attempted to undercut Max Verstappen in the Monaco Grand Prix, but was not able to make the strategy work.
Toto Wolff has clarified the “miscommunication” regarding Lewis Hamilton’s pit-stop during the Monaco Grand Prix. Hamilton pitted on Lap 51 in an attempt to undercut Max Verstappen, but the message given to him was misleading. The pit-wall admitted that they got it wrong by not emphasizing the critical nature of the out-lap after the pit stop. Despite Hamilton’s efforts to catch up with Verstappen on fresh tires, the communication error ultimately cost him a podium finish. Mercedes acknowledged their mistake and took responsibility for the confusion.
