Lewis Hamilton did not hold back as he criticized Ferrari’s strategy during the F1 Miami GP, labeling their teamwork as subpar. The seven-time world champion found himself trailing behind his teammate Charles Leclerc after starting in 12th position. Despite making his way through the pack and catching up to Leclerc, Hamilton was left frustrated as Ferrari instructed him to stay behind his teammate.
Hamilton’s dissatisfaction was evident over team radio when he expressed his frustration with burning up his tires behind Leclerc. The Mercedes driver felt that Ferrari’s decision was hindering his race performance, leading him to question the team’s approach. “This is not good teamwork, that’s all I’m gonna say,” Hamilton remarked as he vied for a more favorable position on the track.

After some back and forth, Leclerc eventually allowed Hamilton to pass, but the tension lingered as Hamilton took a swipe at Ferrari’s handling of the situation. Referencing a previous race incident in China, Hamilton pointed out the difference in treatment, emphasizing his belief that teamwork should involve mutual cooperation. Meanwhile, Leclerc voiced his struggles with aerodynamic turbulence caused by following closely behind Hamilton.
The race saw Hamilton secure a third-place finish in the sprint race, while Ferrari found themselves engaged in a fierce battle with Williams during the main event. As the competition heats up on the track, Hamilton’s critique of Ferrari’s teamwork adds another layer of drama to the intense rivalry among F1 teams.
