Lewis Hamilton takes aim at "far worse" Max Verstappen amid radio focus
Lewis Hamilton snaps back at w🅘hat he believes is exagg🃏erated focus on his radio exchanges with his new Ferrari race engineer.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton has hit out at what he feels is exaggerated coverage of his F1 radio exchanges with new Ferr𒈔ari race engineer Riccardo Adami.
The seven-time world champion endured a hugely disappointing Ferrari debut as he c⛎ould only finish 10th in a wet and chaotic season-opening Aౠustralian Grand Prix.
An incorrect strategy call ruined Hamilton’s brief hopes of a podium finish, while teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Charles Leclerc only came hom𒁃e eighth in what marked a miserable start to the new season for Ferrari.
Hamilton’s race was defined by some increasingly168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: tetchy radio exchanges with Adami, as the 🌳40-year-old Briton appeared to grow frustrated at repeated instructions he was receiving.
Ahead of this weekend’🌼s Chinese Grand Prix, Hamilton downplayed suggestions of any issues between himself and Adam𝔍i.
"I mean, naturally, everyone overegged,” Hamilton is quoted as saying by Sky Sports. “I🗹t was literally just a back-and-forth. I was very polite in how I had suggested it. I said: 'leave it to me, please’.
“I wasn't saying 'F you'. I wasn't swearing. So it was just at that poinꦿt, I was really struggling with the car and I needed full focus on th🐷ese couple of things.
"We're getting to know each other. He's obviously had two champions or more in the past and there's no issue﷽s between us still.”
Hamilton, who enjoyed one of the most successful-ever driver-engineer partner🃏ships with Peter ‘Bono’ Bonington during his 12 year-stint at Mercedes, insisted such communication is a🅺 normal part of getting to know each other.
"Ultimately, we'🎃re literally just gettඣing to know each other,” he added.
"So afterwards I'm like: 'h✅ey bro, I don't need t🍒hat bit of information but if you want to give me this, this is the place I'd like to do it'. This is how I'm feeling in the car and, at these points, this is when I do and don't need the information’.
"That's what it's about. There arജe no issues, it's done with a smiley face and we move forwards."
Max Verstappen comparison made
Hamilton drew a pointed comparison to the radio exchanges between Red Bull’s 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen and his race engineer Gianpiero Lambiase.
Verstappen and Lambiase are well-known for their at-times feisty radio conver🐲sations, with several exchan꧒ges making headlines in recent seasons.
Lambias🦹e has regularly been praised for his cool and collected re🔥sponses to the often fiery Dutchman.
Hamilton was keen to point the finger at former title rival Verstappen, who he b🎀elieves is among🙈 the drivers who are “far worse” when it comes to radio exchanges.
"Go ඣand listen to the radio calls with others and their engineersꦍ, far worse,” Hamilton said.
“But unfortunately, you make… the conversation that ᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚMax has with an engineer over the years, the abuse that the poor guy [Gianpiero Lambiase]'s taken and you never write about it, 🦄but you wrote about the smallest little discussion I had with mine."
