Hamilton, a worrying radio team
After the first two races of the Formula 1 world championship, Ferrari fans found themselves faced with something new Lewis Hamiltonsmiling and in great harmony with his SF-26. But in the radio team of the FP2 of the Japanese Grand Prix seemed to be affected by Hamilton from last season: “I’m very slow because I don’t have confidence in the car“.A few minutes before the end of the session and with a large gap from the leader Oscar Piastri, the Englishman was unable to contain his frustration and the international directors immediately broadcast his outburst.
Hamilton explains the radio team
Interviewed by the F1 microphones precisely on that radio team, Lewis Hamilton he tried to explain his feelings: “The circuit is extremely challenging and is fantastic to drive, but it’s not easy to find the right balance. I think it’s simply something in the set-up of the carthere were similarities with last year’s sensations. We’re working on it, so I’m confident that overnight we can find something to improve the situation. You need to be able to stay on the rear and feel comfortable knowing that the car will follow you, whereas today I had some spurts and I just wasn’t able to keep up with the others.”.
However, Hamilton tried not to lose his optimism: “Tonight we will do an in-depth analysis and get some interesting data from the simulator. I feel like I have some sort of North Star, it’s just a matter of figuring out how to get there and I’m going to try to figure that out. There’s more potential in the machine, it’s just a matter of understanding how to unlock it and we will focus on this.”
