<\/figure>\n\n\n\nMiami GP Exposes Internal Friction<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The Miami Grand Prix was the latest scene of mounting tension. Hamilton, starting 12th on the grid, managed to claw his way up to eighth. But during the race, he found himself stuck behind teammate Charles Leclerc and began urging the team to let him through as he had faster tyres and a shot at catching Kimi Antonelli in sixth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After several laps of waiting, Ferrari finally gave the green light to switch positions. However, Hamilton didn\u2019t hold back his sarcasm once the order came through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHave a tea break while you’re at it!\u201d he snapped over the radio after Ricciardo Adami, his race engineer, acknowledged the swap. Later, when asked to let Leclerc back through, Hamilton quipped, \u201cDo you want me to let him through as well?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While he tried to downplay the incident post-race, the frustration was evident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Media and Critics Weigh In<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Hamilton\u2019s performance in Miami earned him a lukewarm 6\/10 rating from Italian pundit Leo Turrini, who didn\u2019t mince words: \u201cStarts twelfth, finishes eighth. The rest is a frustration that he doesn’t even hide anymore. Honeymoon never started with the Lady in Red.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Such remarks have only fueled speculation that Hamilton\u2019s partnership with Ferrari could be faltering sooner than expected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pressure Mounts Amid Comparison to Former Colleagues<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Adding to Hamilton\u2019s woes is the performance of those he left behind. Kimi Antonelli, who took his seat at Mercedes, is outperforming expectations, while George Russell earned his fourth podium of the season in Miami.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hamilton now finds himself not only chasing results but also competing with the specter of his former team\u2019s continued success. His initial optimism for a title challenge in red is being replaced by growing doubts and public scrutiny.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
Lewis Hamilton\u2019s much-hyped move to Ferrari has quickly shifted from dream to discontent, as tensions surfaced yet again at the Miami Grand Prix, casting doubt on his future harmony with the Italian team. A Promising Start Turns Sour The seven-time world champion made headlines in the off-season when he left Mercedes after 12 years to pursue a lifelong dream of driving for Ferrari. At the time, Hamilton expressed his enthusiasm, saying the switch was the fulfillment of a \u201clong-held dream.\u201d However, after six rounds of the 2025 season, that dream is looking increasingly like a nightmare.
