A filmmaker with a soft spot for Ronnie Peterson, Gilles Villeneuve, Mika Hakkinen and above all, Tazio Nuvolari and Ayrton Senna, is also a diehard Formula One fan since the age of 4 (mid-90's). An avid researcher of the past of Grand Prix Racing since before it was even named F1, and with a thirst for knowledge of the ins and outs of the actuality of the sport, as well as for the technical aspects that define it, is a member of GPblog since 2023, where he has put his love of racing to good use.
Lewis Hamilton is having a stronger Miami Grand Prix than the precedent led on.
The British driver was running in P8, after making his way up into the points from P11 at the start.
However, after the first and only round of pitstops - so far - the British driver seemed to have found his form again at Ferrari.
Tension at Ferrari
So much so that Hamilton was quicker than teammate Charles Leclerc. He then was asking Ferrari to issue team orders to let him by. However, the pitwall did not seem to agree.

Hamilton then took to the radio to criticise the Scuderia's behaviour, saying 'this is not teamwork'. When Riccardo Adami, Hamilton's engineer tried to reply justifying the team's decision, Hamilton reminded them of China when he asked Ferrari to tell Leclerc to go by as the Monegasque was faster than him.
The Italian team's pitwall then issued the instruction to the drivers to swap places.
Not too later on, Leclerc took to the radio to complain, saying that 'he needed Lewis to go faster, as all he had was dirtier now.'
The radio exchange between Hamilton and Ferrari
Hamilton: "In China, I got out of the way."

Adami: "Understood, we swapped the cars."
Hamilton: "Have a tea break while you're at it!"
