Lewis Hamilton has addressed his tense Ferrari radio conversations during the Miami Grand Prix, by downplaying the severity of them and describing his messages as “sarcastic”.<\/p>\n

The seven-time world champion started the sixth round of the season from a disappointing 12th on the grid, but elevated into the top 10 after pitting during a virtual safety car.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Following his pit stop, Hamilton had remarkable pace on the medium compound, helping him quickly catch team-mate Charles Leclerc for sixth.<\/p>\n

Hamilton was eager to be allowed past, although Ferrari initially rejected the idea. It triggered some heated radio back-and-forths<\/a>, before he was allowed to overtake.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Remarkably, he then had to return the position in the final laps at the Miami International Autodrome, yet the Briton has stressed that his radio discussions were not bad.<\/p>\n

“Well, firstly, I really enjoyed the race,” Hamilton told Sky F1. “Honestly, we knew it was going to be difficult today, starting from 12th, not where we want to be. We’re lacking, clearly, a lot of pace.<\/p>\n

“We’ve lost some performance over the past, some races, and we know where it is, and we’re just waiting for a fix to regain some of it. So for us to be at the back of the top 10 is definitely not easy for the whole team.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“But, yeah, once I got past the Haas, and I got onto the medium tyre, I was feeling really optimistic. The car was coming back alive, and I was really thinking I had potential to catch the guys.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I was hoping we’d have a safety car, but that never became. But then obviously I lost a lot of time behind Charles and in that moment, for sure, I was like, come on, like, let’s make a decision really quick. Let’s not waste time.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I feel people didn’t like certain comments, but, I mean, it was just, you got to understand, especially, people say way worse things than I say, you know, so it was more sarcastic than anything. I’m not frustrated now. I just will work internally.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Lewis Hamilton has addressed his tense Ferrari radio conversations during the Miami Grand Prix, by downplaying the severity…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":75835,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[859,1076,1074,1077,1075,997,707,998,1073,1072,1071,79,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-75834","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-sports","8":"tag-daniel-ricciardo","9":"tag-f1-calendar","10":"tag-f1-live","11":"tag-f1-results","12":"tag-f1-standings","13":"tag-ferrari","14":"tag-formula-1","15":"tag-lewis-hamilton","16":"tag-max-verstappen","17":"tag-motorsport","18":"tag-racing","19":"tag-sports","20":"tag-uk","21":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114453951504913071","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/75834","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=75834"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/75834\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/75835"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=75834"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=75834"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=75834"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
