A last-gasp meeting with his Ferrari boss was initiated by 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton just hours before the F1 Miami Grand Prix.

Hamilton had qualified 12th, with teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Charles Leclerc eighth, a day earlier.

The Ferrari drivers’ concerns were aired to team principal Fred Vasseur at breakfast time in th☂e Miami paddock before the 🦹grand prix.

But the atmosphere within the Ferrari garage is🌞 still harmonious, claims L♐’Equipe journalist Fred Ferret.

“100%, and I am not bull****** you,” he told the F1 Nation podcast.

“They are very calm and they want to improve.

“Charles is very upset when he says he can’t be eighth♌ on the grid because he’s a Ferrari driver and he wants to win.

“Lewis went to speak with Fred, while we were having a coffee, ꧙and ༺said: ‘I want to speak with you about the tyres’.

“It was 9am on the morning oℱf the race. He wasn’t complaining. He was trying to help.

“There is not, at all, a problem.

“We heard Lewis 🍃speak tough on Bono when theꦚy had problems.

“It’s easy for journalists to write ‘Ferrari, big problems𒁏’. It’s more complicated than that.”

Hamilton had achieved a podium finish in t🐼he sprint race in Miami, following victory in the previous sprint in China.

But those two standout momen🌟ts are in stark contrast to the rest of his first campaigꦆn with Ferrari so far.

He finished eighth in the Miami Grand Prix, a place behind Leclerc. Their woes compared to McLaren, Red Bull’s Max Verstappen and Mercedes continu♌ed.

Hamilton raised ey💧ebrows with t🐓ense radio exchanges with race engineer Riccardo Adami.

“The whole mess that we see is because of the rad✨io chat ꧙which was tough,” Ferret continued.

“At Ferrari it has always been like that. Remember in China, Sebastian Vettel was exactly the same, wi༒th the same result.

“There are two big drivers competing at a high level and they want to be in front of the other, thᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚere is no way to avoid tha𝄹t.

“It’s easier if you have Kimi Antonelli, he won𝔉’t complain against Geoge Russell if he’s following.

“Max Verstappen is alone. And you already saw, between Oscar Piastri and Lando Norri🐻s, that there are some tough battles.

“Lewis ൩said there are no problems, it was just adrenaline.”

But the true 𓃲problem facing Ferrari is not their dri🌞vers, nor the radio communication, Ferret claims.

“The problem is not the pace during the race. The pr🔯oblem is being able to qualify,” he said.

“You can’t say Charles doesn’t know how to qualif♎y. Lewis is the best pole-man ever.

“It’s only the way to put the te🌊m🌊perature into the tyre with this car.”
