Lewis Hamilton participated in the highly awaited 2025 Monaco Grand Prix as a one-man team as he received little to no communication from the Ferrari garage.
With just eight races in his Ferrari debut season, Lewis and race engineer, Riccardo Adami, are seemingly at odds with each other
The 40-year-old racer was running in seventh place in the early stages of the race after receiving a three-place grid penalty for blocking Max Verstappen during Qualifying race.
Lewis was instructed to sped-up during his first pit stop to overtake Racing Bulls driver Isack Hadjar.
His race engineer encouraged Lewis to increase the pace noting, "This is our race," without providing any context as to why they needed the speed to be increased.
After the race – which Lewis finished fifth, 51 seconds after the winner Lando Norris – Lewis was met with compete silence when he asked over the radio, "Are you upset with me or something?"
