This was the tremendous radio anger of Hamilton with Mercedes | Formula 1

Lewis Hamilton lost the Formula 1 World Championship lead to Max Verstappen after the Monaco Grand Prix. The British rider started seventh in Monte Carlo and finished the race in the same position despite the abandonments of Charles Leclerc and Valtteri Bottas. Mercedes was not successful in the strategy and Hamilton did not hesitate to recriminate his team by radio. On a track where overtaking is very difficult; what’s more, there were no overtaking after the start; the seven-time champion depended more than ever on Mercedes for progress. The German team tried to surprise the rest by stopping Lewis Hamilton first to attempt an undercut to Pierre Gasly, a move that did not go well. “How is it that I’m still after him, guys?”, Asked the Briton to his team on the radio. Hamilton’s anger was more when he saw Sebastian Vettel stop and go ahead of him. “We have lost two positions. What are you thinking about? ”He reproached Mercedes. “I ran the first part of the race saving tires to make a long stint … and you stopped me possibly the first of all!”, Added, annoyed, Lewis Hamilton. Hamilton’s anger with Mercedes was moreTo top it off, Bono, His engineer transferred a radio message to English that made him even more mad: “Lewis, we run the risk of losing a position with Pérez. I am sorry”. “How? Have I lost the position with Pérez? “, Asked, incredulous, Hamilton.” Yes. He’s shooting on 14 »6 and he still has to go in,” Bono confirmed. “So Perez is ahead?” Lewis Hamilton insisted. “Affirmative. Pérez is fourth, ”said his engineer.

I have to raise my voice more ”. Also, asked if he had learned anything, he said: “Personally, no. The team, for sure. “Hamilton recoiled on social networks Calmer, on his social networks, Lewis Hamilton commented:” Things could be much worse. Sure we screw it up today, but it’s days like this when we learn the most and grow. Each and every member of this team is sorry and we will do what we have always done. Unity and we will return to the fight! ”. Things could be so much worse. For sure today sucked balls but it’s days like this we learn the most and grow the most. Each and every person in this team is feeling it and we’ll do what we have always done. Unite and come back and fight! pic.twitter.com/RCEEcLBnde – Lewis Hamilton (@LewisHamilton) May 23, 2021 “Congratulations to Max and his team as they did a better job today. As for us, it is through our losses and our mistakes that we always grow stronger. This has definitely been a bad weekend overall in terms of performance, but this team has shown time and time again how we come back fighting. No finger pointing, we win and lose together, we just have to stand up and stay calm, we have 18 races left and a long way to go in this fight. We will work hard, as we have to make sure this does not happen again. There is no reason why we should act like this on any other weekend with all the experience we have together as a team. We will have some conversations internally; it is painful to learn these lessons ”, added the English.Totto Wolff believes that Mercedes’ strategy with Hamilton was the right one. Toto Wolff, CEO of Mercedes, has also spoken about it: “Days like today are the ones we learn the most, but that does not prevent the experience from being horrible. We had a pretty terrible race day today with a lot of degradation in Valtteri’s car while we were in the race for the podium. Then we had a serious problem with a nut at the stop, which had never happened at that scale before, and he was forced to pull out. With Lewis, we just didn’t have the pace in the car, it’s as simple as that. The undercut seemed the only feasible way to get past Gasly and there were no mistakes, the outlap was good, the pit stop was good, but it wasn’t enough. Today we lost some points, but this is a long Championship that is going to swing from one side to the other and in the end we will see in Abu Dhabi who comes in front. We will regroup and look back, as much as it hurts, to learn the lessons and come back stronger. ”Mercedes hopes to improve ahead of Baku In turn, Andrew Shovlin, Mercedes chief track engineer, said:“ A really difficult day for the team and many areas that we have to work on, but we will get out of here and look at everything objectively. Withdrawing one of the cars due to a problem in a pit stop is not a good thing; the nut was damaged to the point that it was never going to come loose, so we had no choice but to remove the car. However, our pace was not good enough to challenge Max as we were losing grip on the final leg with the soft period and couldn’t keep up.With Lewis it was going to be a tough Sunday because we hadn’t gotten him high enough on the grid on Saturday. We were hoping to come back, however, but our undercut attempt failed and Lewis was left behind Gasly. We have a very busy week ahead as we have to overcome many of our problems before the next race in Baku. However, our difficult days always lead us to learn and improve and we can’t wait to get back on track ”.
