Lewis Hamilton criticized for behavior against Ferrari Race engineer 65-year-old F1 Pundita
F1 leader Martin Brundle criticized Lewis Hamilton For his behavior against racing engineer Riccard Adami during his debut at the Australian Grand Prix. Throughout the British race, it could be heard that he was looking for his runner engineer not to transmit much of information.
Hamilton’s debut with Ferrari in Australia has proven to be a great disappointment because most of the race laged for Williams Alex Albona. Moreover, the late call from the team threw it to the back of the net and it ended only in the P10.
Although it is understood that the 40-year-old is still released by car, F1 Pundit Martin Brundle did not think his debut was impressive.
“The eighth net on the net behind his teammate Leclerca, losing a little in the first corner and next Williams Alex Albona for what seemed like age, then passed around the outside of the rapid turn 9. [Oscar] Piastra in the final round – which Lewis transferred to one point in 10th place – was not where it should be, “Brunddle wrote in his Sky Sports column.
Brundle criticized another aspect of Hamilton’s debut. More than once during the race, Hamilton’s race engineer Riccardo Adami continued to transfer information such as the availability of K1, etc. All these times, Lewis Hamilton asked him to stop and “leave [him] to that. “
“I do not understand why Lewis was so creepy with his engineer Riccard Adami, which I thought was simply trying to convey relevant and useful information,” Brundle added.
Even Hamilton’s qualifying appearance was not very impressive, because he was slower than his teammate Charles Leclerca.
Ferrari wants to improve radio communication with Lewis Hamilton
Director of Ferrari Tim Frederic Vassur said he was looking forward to improving radio communication with Lewis Hamilton while examining strategic decisions made during the race.
Mixed conditions around Albert Park could be guilty of decisions that were made during the race. While most drivers continued with smooth tires, the rain pour again, and Scuderia was late to tire her drivers, hoping she would stay on the drying track. However, that cube led them to a great loss.
Moving forward in the season, Vassur feels the need to improve communication with Hamilton and hope to make better decisions.
“It was the first race, the first time we have to communicate between the wall of the pit and the car, and we can do a better job and know each other more,” Vassur said. “Surely this is not clean at all, the strategy was difficult and we have to find a better way to communicate between the cars and the wall of the pit, but we will learn from Rase 1 and that is not a problem.”
Lewis Hamilton finished the P10 race with his teammate Charles Leclerc in P8. All in all, Ferrari was a catastrophic day because they only scored five points and sat in seventh place in the World Cup.
