SHANGHAI (AP) — Lewis Hamilton denied there's frustration with Ferrari race engineer Ricciardo Adami despite frequently shutting down unnecessary radio chatter between them at the Australian Grand Prix.
“Everyone overreacted,” Hamilton said on Thursday.
Hamilton had a miserable debut weekend for Ferrari in Melbourne last week after qualifying eighth and finishing 10th for the final point. That ended preseason testing hype that had the Scuderia as a potential McLaren challenger.
The Brit dismissed talk he was further annoyed by the team's operations at Albert Park, including a strategic gamble that cost him a potential win and led to an angry rebuke over radio.
