Lewis Hamilton 'Upset' Ferrari Radio Message at Monaco GP Got No Response for 89 Seconds - The Mirror
- Lewis Hamilton, driving for Ferrari, experienced tense radio exchanges with engineer Riccardo Adami during the 2025 Monaco Grand Prix, finishing fifth after starting seventh with a penalty.
- These exchanges followed unclear and delayed communications partly due to team rules about when engineers can talk during the track's tunnel section, leading to Hamilton's visible frustration.
- Hamilton asked repeatedly whether rivals ahead remained a minute clear and if Adami was upset with him, receiving incomplete or no direct answers that increased tension during the final laps and cool-down lap.
- The Ferrari team principal, Frederic Vasseur, stated there were no hard feelings and attributed communication issues to track constraints, while Hamilton acknowledged having 'a fire in my belly' and wanting a podium.
- The incident highlighted ongoing adaptation challenges in the young Hamilton-Adami partnership, with Hamilton’s radio frustrations underscoring Ferrari’s broader struggles early in his first season with the team.
