Hamilton Denies Tension With New Ferrari Engineer

Lewis Hamilton has denied rumors of tension with his new Ferrari race engineer, Riccardo Adami, following reports of terse radio exchanges during the Monaco Grand Prix. Both Hamilton and Ferrari attribute any miscommunications to the normal adjustment process and technical radio issues, emphasizing their shared focus on improving performance and winning a world championship. Hamilton, transitioning from his long-standing partnership with Mercedes engineer Pete Bonnington, described disagreements as typical in any professional relationship. Despite communication challenges, Hamilton has secured Top 5 finishes for Ferrari but has not yet achieved a podium. He also voiced disappointment that the Circuit de Catalunya will leave the F1 calendar after 2025, affirming his ongoing commitment to Ferrari and the sport. Ferrari Team Principal Fred Vasseur has similarly dismissed suggestions of internal friction, calling the adaptation period natural.
