Hamilton Dismisses Rift Rumours with Ferrari Engineer

Speaking in Spain, he attributed past radio silences to signal glitches, insisting the relationship with Adami remains strong during Ferrari's rollout of technical updates.

Overview

  • Hamilton rejected suggestions of a rift with Riccardo Adami, calling speculation ‘noise’ and ‘BS’.
  • He said terse radio exchanges in Australia, Miami and Monaco reflected signal problems and normal strategy talks rather than personal tension.
  • Ferrari team principal Fred Vasseur defended the pairing, pointing to pre-planned radio protocols and reception gaps in certain circuits.
  • Hamilton emphasised that he and Adami are still adapting their working dynamic after his move from Mercedes and a long partnership with Peter Bonnington.
  • Ferrari plans to introduce technical updates, including adjustments driven by the FIA’s new flexi-wing clampdown, at the Spanish Grand Prix to bolster its performance.
