Lewis Hamilton hits out at ‘bulls***’ speculation on relationship with Ferrari engineer after awkward F1 radio chat
LEWIS HAMILTON has hit out at “bulls**t” criticism of his relationship with Ferrari engineer Riccardo Adami.
The seven-time world champ was fifth at Monaco last weekend and on the cooldown lap thanked the team for repairing his car for qualifying after a crash in FP3.
But there was radio silence from his team and Hamilton asked “are you upset with me or something?”, while there was still no response.
Hamilton had been given a three-grid place penalty for impeding Max Verstappen after he was told the wrong information by Adami in qualifying.
The British driver was informed that Verstappen was on a slow lap, so did not get out of the way when he was actually on a flying lap.
It comes after the ex-Mercedes star sarcastically told his new team to have a “tea break” in the Miami GP, where they rowed over swapping places with Charles Leclerc.

Hamilton said: “There were areas that we just had radio problems.
“I didn’t get all the information I wanted — and that was it.
“There’s a lot of speculation. I mean, most of it’s bulls**t.”
Meanwhile, Brit Lando Norris has clapped back at claims the title charge is only between him and team-mate Oscar Piastri.

Piastri leads Norris by three points at the top, with Verstappen 25 points off the Aussie driver in third place.
But McLaren star Norris said: “Mathematically, the whole grid can win the championship.
“If you think it’s just out of me and Oscar, you’re a bit silly.”
