???? FERRARI FACING INTERNAL TROUBLE After Hamilton’s REACTION to His Race Engineer Following Monaco GP!
MONACO – Ferrari’s dream of harmony in red may be starting to unravel. After a tense and frustrating Monaco Grand Prix, Lewis Hamilton’s relationship with his race engineer, Riccardo Adami, is now under the spotlight, and fans are questioning whether cracks within the Scuderia are beginning to form just seven races into the season.
What was supposed to be another step in Hamilton’s adaptation to life in red ended with radio silence, miscommunication, and confusion—all playing out in front of a global audience.
“Are you upset with me or something?”
— Hamilton over the team radio, Monaco GP, Lap 68
That single line said it all.
???? A Heated Exchange Caught On Radio
The Monaco GP wasn’t disastrous for Hamilton in terms of results—he finished P5—but it was the way it unfolded that ignited concern. After receiving an ambiguous message from Adami—“Push, now. This is our race.”—Hamilton burned up his tires, believing he had a shot at Verstappen ahead.
But the reality?
He was over 40 seconds behind the front pack with no realistic chance to fight for P4. When he learned this post-race, Hamilton’s frustration was palpable.
“The message wasn’t clear,” he said afterward.
“I didn’t know what I was fighting for.”
In a media scrum following the race, Hamilton’s answers were clipped, cold, and distant:
“No.”
“I can’t comment.”
“I was in no man’s land.”
This wasn’t just another race. This was a signal flare from one of the sport’s greatest champions—a warning that the partnership with Adami is not working as expected.
???? Ferrari’s Communication Crisis?
Ferrari boss Fred Vasseur was quick to dismiss the tension:
“We agreed not to speak to drivers during corners. It’s not about beer on the pit wall—it’s timing,” Vasseur said, attempting to calm speculation.
But F1 insiders aren’t convinced. This is now the second time after Miami that radio exchanges between Hamilton and Adami have gone south. And as every strategist knows: fractured communication leads to fractured races.
???? Hamilton vs Ferrari: A Chemistry Problem?
Hamilton entered the season hoping to feel at home with Ferrari, but Monaco revealed lingering discomfort.
“I wasn’t racing anyone,” he admitted.
“I needed a safety car. It never came.”
While his teammate Charles Leclerc dazzled the crowd and secured P2, Hamilton seemed adrift—emotionally and strategically. The contrast is painful.
Leclerc, now firmly ahead in the Drivers’ Championship, has begun to look like the natural team leader. And if this trend continues, Ferrari may be forced to prioritize their Monegasque star—a move that would undoubtedly rattle Hamilton.
⏳ Time Running Out?
Hamilton currently sits sixth in the championship—winless, podium-less, and 20 points behind George Russell. Not the start he envisioned in red.
With Barcelona on the horizon and the new technical directive expected to shake up the pecking order, Ferrari needs unity. But the dysfunctional dynamic between Hamilton and Adami could cost them dearly.
Even more troubling is the psychological toll: for a driver like Hamilton—used to control, clarity, and results—this lack of synergy may begin to manifest in performance.
???? What Happens If Ferrari Picks Leclerc?
If Ferrari starts leaning toward Leclerc as their primary contender, Hamilton won’t sit quietly. Expect fireworks. Expect statements. And don’t rule out further intra-team tension spilling into public view.
This isn’t just about pit wall messages. It’s about control, direction, and legacy.
???? Final Thoughts
Ferrari has made progress—but under the surface, their most high-profile relationship is fraying. Monaco may have been a respectable finish on paper, but in reality, it may have marked the beginning of a trust breakdown between Hamilton and the very people meant to guide him.
So the question now becomes:
Can Ferrari fix the Hamilton-Adami partnership… before it explodes?
