A last-gasp meeting with his Ferrari boss was initiated by 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lewis Hamilton just hours before the F1 Miami Grand Prix.

Hamilton had qualified 12th, with teammate 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Charles Leclerc eighth, a day earlier.

The Ferrari dꦬrivers’ concerns were aired to team principal Fred Vasseur at breakfast time𓂃 in the 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 o🐻n the grid because he’s a Ferrari driver and he wants to win.

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

“Iಌt was 9am on the morning of the race. He wasn’t complaining. He was trying to 💞help.

“There is not, at all, a problem.

“We heard Lewis speak t🐓ough on Bono when they had problems.

“It’s easy for journalists to writ♚e ‘Ferrari, big problems’. It’s more complicated than t🍷hat.”

Hamilton had achieved ﷺa podium finish in the sprint race in Miami, following victory in the previous sprint in China.

But those two standout moments are i🌠n stark contrast to the rest of his first campaign with F🍷errari 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 continued.

Hamilton raised eyebrows with ♛tense radio exchanges with race e🥂ngineer Riccardo Adami.

“The whole mess that we see is becaus🐷e of the radio chat which was tough,” Ferret co🌱ntinued.

“At Ferrar🦹i itꦅ has always been like that. Remember in China, Sebastian Vettel was exactly the same, with the same result.

“There are two big drivers competing a🍸t a high level and they want to be in front of the other, there is no way to avoid that.

“It’s easier if you have Kimi Antonelli, he won’t comꩵplain aga♔inst Geoge Russell if he’s following.

“M⛦ax Verstappen is alone. And you aꦜlready saw, between Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris, that there are some tough battles.

“Lewis said there ar🔯e no ꦍproblems, it was just adrenaline.”

But the true problem facing Ferrari is not their d𝓰rivers, nor the radio communication, Ferret c𝔍laims.

“The problem is no🌱t the pace during the race. The problem is being able to qualify,” he said.

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

“It’s only the way to put the t🐬e𝔍mperature into the tyre with this car.”
