Ferrari seeks replacement for Hamilton's engineer – despite the driver's denial

The British newspaper The Daily Mail reports, however, that the paths of Hamilton and Adami are ultimately parting. That this has not happened yet is because Ferrari currently lacks a suitable replacement for the race engineer. The newspaper suggests that Peter Bonnington (Bono), Hamilton's race engineer at Mercedes, would be the ideal successor, but that the Brit cannot leave Mercedes.

Although Hamilton denies issues, it became apparent over the past weeks during the Grands Prix that there was some friction between the driver and his engineer. Hamilton is used to receiving an answer after posing a question, instead of getting a question in return.

The lack of clarity seems to irritate Hamilton. At least, Hamilton notices that the way of working at Ferrari is entirely different than at Mercedes, where he had enough with half a word to understand what 'Bono' meant.
