You hear some of the things others have said in the past, some of it was sarcasm. Look, you’ve got to understand we’re under a huge amount of pressure within the car.

It’s not easy. It’s never easy. And I didn’t see another team to do it today. That’s why we took the responsibility to do it. We are racing for Ferrari first and honestly I think as a team we did a good job.” Vasseur also confirmed that the team’s policy if they switch driver positions to allow one to attack a car ahead and if no advantage is gained and a position is not made they will revert to the original order as they did in Miami Become part of the largest racing community in the United Kingdom Find out how the biggest publications from around the world have reacted to the 2025 F1 Miami Grand Prix Oscar Piastri claimed a fourth victory of the season in the Miami Grand Prix to extend his lead in the F1 drivers' title to 16 points over Lando Norris.

Hamilton was unhappy with Ferrari's treatment of him when he was initially denied permission to pass team-mate Charles Leclerc. Ferrari finally informed Leclerc to allow Hamilton past triggering an unusual response from the seven-time world champion. Taking aim at Ferrari's slow decision making Hamilton said over the radio: "Have a tea break while you're at it which also occurred with Charles Leclerc. with the SF-25 not being able to compete with the lead teams It is creating frustration amongst the Maranello-based team with team boss Fred Vasseur having spoken to Hamilton about his radio messages. Hamilton revealed that the Ferrari team principal entered his room The Washington Post also discussed Ferrari as a lead topic and the team's growing frustration. the Italian outfit has been the biggest disappointment of the season with no signs of things set to improve. Hamilton did secure a podium in the Miami Sprint; however the strategic nightmare which resulted in the radio outbursts has left Ferrari with further work to do The American newspaper explained how Hamilton was frustrated before the grand prix weekend even began due to the team's lack of performance. and something non-Ferrari related was reported by BILD who understand that Mick Schumacher met with Cadillac bosses in Miami. Schumacher has been competing for Alpine in the World Endurance Championship since being axed by Haas at the end of 2022 but is eager to return to the F1 grid He has outlined several times his intent to return to F1 having only held a reserve role for Mercedes in the paddock since his Haas departure.

Follow RacingNews365 on your favorite social media channels “I really felt a personal existential need to write my story I had to make sense of where I came from myself,” he says in his memento-filled Times Square office “I started doing it as an exercise for me and I ultimately did it for theater kids of all ages everywhere.” Seller's “Theater Kid” — which he wrote even before finding a publishing house — traces the rise of an unlikely theater force who was raised in a poor neighborhood far from Broadway along the way giving readers a portrait of the Great White Way in the gritty 1970s and '80s Sometimes I am a mean person and a stubborn person and a joyous person says he wasn't interested in writing a recipe book on how to make a producer adopted Jewish kid from Cardboard Village in Oak Park gets to Broadway and produces ‘Rent’ at age 31.” It is the story of an outsider who is captivated by theater as a child who acts in Purim plays becomes a booking agent in New York and then a producer “My life has been a process of finally creating groups that I feel part of and accepting where I do fit in,” he says “I also wrote this book for anyone who’s ever felt out.” says he isn't surprised that Seller delivered such a strong memoir because he believes the producer has an instinctive artistic sensibility “There aren’t that many producers you could say have literally changed the face of theater And I think that’s what Jeffrey Seller has done," says Karp “It is the work of somebody who is much more than a producer who is writer in his own right and who has a really interesting and emotional and dramatic story to tell.” The book reaches a crescendo with a behind-the-scenes look at his friendship and collaboration with playwright and composer Jonathan Larson and the making of his “Rent.” Seller writes about a torturous creative process in which Larson would take one step forward with the script over years only to take two backward He also writes movingly about carrying on after Larson who died from an aortic dissection the day before “Rent's” first off-Broadway preview There is no ‘In the Heights’ without ‘Rent,’” Seller says “I don’t think there’s a ‘Next to Normal’ without ‘Rent.’ I don’t think there’s a ‘Dear Evan Hansen’ without ‘Rent.’” So enamored was Seller with “Rent” that he initially ended his memoir there in the mid-'90s It took some coaxing from Karp to get him to include stories about “Avenue Q,” “In the Heights” and “Hamilton.” It’s the biggest hit of my career,” Seller says “It’s one of the biggest hits in Broadway history In a sort of theater flex, the memoir's audiobook has appearances by Annaleigh Ashford, Danny Burstein, Darren Criss, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Renée Elise Goldsberry, Lindsay Mendez, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Andrew Rannells There’s original music composed by Tony- and Pulitzer Prize-winner Tom Kitt The portrait of Broadway Seller offers when he first arrives is one far different from today where the theaters are bursting with new plays and musicals and the season's box office easily blows past the $1 billion mark In 1995, the year before “Rent” debuted off-Broadway, there was only one Tony Award-eligible candidate for best original musical score and the same for best book — “Sunset Boulevard.” This season, there were 14 new eligible musicals. “I think that’s just such a great moment in Broadway history to say ‘This is before ’Rent,' and then look what happens after Not because ‘Rent’ brought in an era of rock musicals but it opened the doors to more experimentation and more unexpected ideas He is drawn to contemporary stories with modern issues and all four of his Tony wins for best musical are set in New York shows that were about people we might know about things that embarrass us — that’s what touched me the most deeply,” he says “I was looking to have the hair on my arms rise About a year before his bar mitzvah in 1977 Jeffrey Seller was in Hebrew class at Temple Israel synagogue when the teacher in the midst of talking about the history of the Warsaw Ghetto asked whether anyone knew a place in America that had similarly poor conditions so the teacher gave the example of a nearby Oak Park neighborhood behind an A&P grocery story on 9 Mile not made of bricks and had no basements and garages “There’s a colloquial name for it,” he said “Theater Kids,” he was afraid that someone would find out he lived there trying to resist the formation of tears behind my eyes hoping I would not be discovered,” he writes Seller says that this was one of the most difficult vignettes to put down on paper for the book who would be sad to know about Seller’s reaction The idea that any of the students at Temple Israel could possibly have lived in that neighborhood was so far beyond his comprehension.” Seller is scheduled to kick off his book tour May 6 at the Berman Center for the Performing Arts in West Bloomfield as part of the Detroit Jewish Film Festival He will be in conversation that evening with another Detroit native Tony nominee Douglas Sills of HBO's "The Gilded Age." Seller says it is fitting for him to return to the suburbs of Detroit for the event because that is "the place in which the whole book starts." “Theater Kid” (subtitled "A Broadway Memoir") is the coming-of-age and career success story of Sellers who grew up to become an icon of contemporary musical theater as a producer of the Tony Award-winning shows “Rent,” “Avenue Q,” “In the Heights” and “Hamilton.” The productions that Sellers has overseen have accumulated 22 Tony wins earned a gross of $4.6 billion from the Broadway productions and subsequent tours and drawn more 43 million audience members Seller is recognized as the only producer with two Pulitzer Prize-winning musicals to his credit “Rent” and “Hamilton,” both of which were groundbreaking cultural achievements With "Rent," he also helped create a discounted ticket lottery to make his musicals more affordable for a wider audience Simon & Schuster," "Theater Kid" reveals Seller's early years as “a kid coming to terms with his adoption and determined to escape his dysfunctional household in a poor neighborhood just outside Detroit.” What sets the memoir apart from other works about a difficult childhood that fuels a determination for better future is Seller’s approach He writes "Theater Kid" with the vividness of a graphic novel sometimes explicit about his sexual awakening fearless about revealing his family's chaos and conflicts and yet filled with love for even his volatile father “Theater Kid” reads like the autobiography of someone who has lived with hard truths and made peace with them through his artistry “I don’t know that the world needed another memoir about being poor We’ve had a lot of those,” says Seller during a phone interview “What I thought the world needed at this moment was the only way that I thought to justify it is to go all the way into the core of my insecurities and deepest feelings and expose me as nakedly as I could Because I thought that would illuminate the story in a way that makes it an alumnus of Oak Park High School and the University of Michigan which is fitting given how many of the anecdotes seem like scenes from one of his Broadway hits Act One is mostly about his family and his school years Act Two covers his move to New York City and his experiences with “Rent.” Act Three includes the journey of “Hamilton” and Seller’s search for his biological parents a quest that “wouldn’t stop chasing me as I passed forty years old and became a parent of two beautiful adopted children.” Seller was captivated by theater and absorbed everything he could about it from the Tony Awards on TV to touring productions at the Fisher Theatre and cast albums of Broadway hits He was a sponge for learning the process of creating and staging shows whether he was acting with Royal Oak’s Stagecrafters youth troupe singing in the children’s chorus of “Carmen” with Michigan Opera Theatre or working as the drama director at Camp Tamarack in northern Oakland County during summer college breaks An early chapter recalls his pivotal moment of winning a role in fourth grade as a sailor in the annual Purim play at Temple Israel (then located in Detroit which was a mashup of the story of Queen Esther and the musical “South Pacific." Recalling the magical process of rehearsing and performing he writes: “Being in a play for the first time makes me happy Being in a play changes my life; I am filled with purpose for the first time.” Seller was devoted to learning more about the basics of the craft that would make him famous He recalls appearing in eighth grade in a Stagecrafters production of a children’s play called “Popcorn Pete” and noticing that “one the audiences were very small.” Seller asked who chose “Popcorn Pete” and found out that there was a play-reading committee 'I want to be on the play-reading committee.' That was my first leap into producing," he notes Seller is generous about thanking his various teachers and mentors for their support (He titles one chapter “Miss Shively” after a Frost Middle School teacher.) But while his world was opening up on the stage left with brain damage after a devastating motorcycle accident occasionally served court papers and summonses and later took up a side gig performing as a clown His mother worked steadily at a drugstore to support them When his father lost his temper at their Cardboard Village house with no basement for tornado protection "he is like another tornado from which we cannot hide." Seller looks back on his dad's bad choices with compassion "My father was a man not in control of himself The consequences of which resulted in two bankruptcies and a tremendous amount of pain and suffering" this was also the man who said the same four words to me over and over any time I asked if I could go to an audition or rehearsal or a new place 'Get in the car.' He drove me to every one of those auditions and every one of those rehearsals.” Asked how long it took to write the memoir Seller says it was somewhere between five and 30 years He elaborates by explaining that he struggled with putting his memories on the page It took about five years to complete the book but two of the childhood tales it includes are from a writing class he attended at New York City's New School in the 1990s He says he followed one guide while writing the book and that was being truthful "I was always guided first by the truth and I thought we’ll deal with everybody else’s feelings later.” Such transparency “was essential to the existence of the book,” according to Seller because he wrote it "in so many ways for younger people particularly for young gay men who don’t know anything about what they’re about to encounter.” it will affirm their feelings and show them that they’re going to figure it out He says he deeply wanted to share "Theater Kid" with his mother who passed away about a year ago from pancreatic cancer really looked forward to sharing it with my mom it would stir up a lot of painful memories for her and that it would stir up her own sense of shame and guilt but it would also activate her pride and her love,” he says I didn’t talk about it because I didn’t know if it would ever be published anyway I wrote it for me without regard to its ultimate destiny.” Seller dedicates the book to the memory of his mother and father who calls southeast Michigan an essential part of American arts is spending a lot of time in the Motor City with “my new partner in life and love,” Yuval Sharon the acclaimed artistic director of Detroit Opera “How lucky am I that my own hometown of Detroit helped me come together with the new love of my life,” he says a Detroit Opera board of directors vice chair and former publisher of Crain's Detroit Business to teach a course in politics and theater at the University of Michigan once a week during the fall semester Speaking of politics, Seller is still immersed in the intersection between it and "Hamilton." Recounted in "Theater Kid" is the behind-the-scenes story of the time Vice President-elect Mike Pence attended the show in 2016 It was Seller who wrote the first draft of a short speech that actor Brandon Victor Dixon ended up reading from the stage to Pence at the end of the performance It addressed concerns regarding the Trump administration's commitment to upholding "our inalienable rights" and shared the hope that "this show has inspired you to uphold our American values and to work on behalf of all of us." In March, plans for "Hamilton" to be performed at the Kennedy Center as part of the 250th anniversary commemoration of the Declaration of Independence were canceled as a result of President Donald Trump removing Democratic members from the center’s formerly bipartisan board and making himself its chairman Says Seller: "We were not going to let that now deeply politicized right-wing organization use the profits from 'Hamilton' to further its agenda Implementing it required care and thought.” Given the imprint that "Hamilton" and "Rent" have made on the evolution of theater it's fair to ask: Does Seller have some sort of zeitgeist meter that can sense when musicals are going to be transformative ”I am just following my heart and hoping that others are affected by my shows in the same way I am,” he insists “I don’t know what the zeitgeist will be tomorrow I just try to make the show that will please me the most and then am lucky when it pleases thousands or in the case of 'Hamilton' or 'Rent,' millions of others as well.” Seller says his faith in the future of art is steadfast “I always have faith in the next generation to innovate and to bring forth ingenuity and creativity and new ways of looking at the confusing world in which we live.” Being a producer seeps into everything that Seller does from planning an impromptu brunch to making decisions for the audio version of “Theater Kid.” Although the custom for authors is to read their memoirs in their entiretly he says he didn't want to just hear his own voice "Hamilton" star and creator Lin-Manuel Miranda Jesse Tyler Ferguson and Renee Elise Goldsberry “The audiobook is kind of like a stage reading Contact Detroit Free Press pop culture critic Julie Hinds at jhinds@freepress.com House Seats: Mandy Gonzalez in Concert recently premiered on ALL ARTS House Seats: Mandy Gonzalez in Concert which was filmed live at the Tilles Center for the Performing Arts at Long Island University Watch excerpts from the evening with the Broadway favorite in the video above Gonzalez, currently the special guest star Norma Desmond in the Tony-nominated Broadway revival of Sunset Blvd., performs Hamilton's "Satisfied," In the Heights' "Breathe," and "Fearless," a personal anthem written for her by Lin-Manuel Miranda Gonzalez has also been seen on Broadway in Hamilton, Wicked Her screen credits include Across the Universe She was awarded the Obie for her work in Off-Broadway's Eli’s Comin.

When I was growing up outside of London, there were no museums near me, there wasn’t much diversity, and there certainly wasn’t any exposure to fashion. So I lived vicariously through magazines and music videos and films. The people I looked up to—it was Muhammad Ali, it was Michael Jordan, it was Eddie Murphy in Beverly Hills Cop wearing that cool leather jacket. And then a little bit later I started to learn about Cab Calloway, James Baldwin, Nelson Mandela, and André Leon Talley. I saw how their image was so important to them, and how they presented themselves through fashion. At the same time, I was trying to understand how I wanted to present myself. As a teenager I didn’t have any money for clothes; my family and I spent it all on racing. So I would wash cars along my street for pocket money and go to the little thrift store in town and get the Tommy Hilfiger pieces that I saw in music videos. They gave me the confidence to show up and say, “This is who I am.” When I first signed with F1 I was only allowed to wear suits and team kits, and it was horrible. I didn’t feel comfortable, and I didn’t feel like I was able to be myself. Eventually, I had the courage to push beyond those boundaries and say, “Look, I want to turn up to the track in what I want to wear. I’m here now—you can’t get rid of me or change the way I dress.” The pushback was massive, but when the sport saw the impact of my little runway, other drivers started doing the same thing. When I look at the images of Black men from the past—images like the ones in the exhibit—they were so stylish and I have been thinking about how I’m going to turn up at the Met Gala We’re both very thoughtful and intentional when it comes to fashion and I hope that everyone else attending is compelled to really research and think deeply about what they’re wearing I also hope people take time to see the exhibit; the storytelling is amazing and to have co-chaired a previous Met Gala wouldn’t have been as special I remember watching Pharrell as a kid and thinking It’s surreal for me to now be co-chairing with him.)

Your hilariously snarky outbursts over the Ferrari radio made the fourth annual Miami Grand Prix memorable for audiences around the world No offense, Oscar Piastri — the McLaren driver has won four of the six races with 16 more to go during the 2025 F1 season The thing about this Miami race: Lando Norris finished nearly five seconds behind his teammate Piastri in second place — and 37 seconds ahead of Mercedes driver George Russell in third place Any intrigue for a thrilling finish was gone like Piastri when he took the lead from reigning F1 champion Max Verstappen during the 14th lap — with 43 laps to go That was until Hamilton jeered back and forth with race engineer Riccardo Adami when he had the pace to pass Ferrari teammate Charles Leclerc with about 10 laps remaining As Hamilton stewed behind Leclerc without instruction Hamilton said: “This is not good teamwork — that’s all I can say.” When Ferrari finally cleared Hamilton to pass after several laps he snapped: “Have a tea break while you’re at it — C’mon.” Ferrari informed Hamilton that Williams driver Carlos Sainz was 1.4 seconds behind him — get this — after he was asked to return his place back to Leclerc “You want me to let him pass as well?” Hamilton shouted over the radio lighthearted and reflective after the race He said he was even happy with finishing in eighth place — if you can believe that from the seven-time F1 champion — while Leclerc finished seventh And I'm not going to apologize for being a fighter,” Hamilton told USA TODAY Sports “I'm not going to apologize for still wanting it Hamilton said he wasn’t upset at Leclerc or Ferrari His car simply isn’t performing how he’d prefer overall but he felt it “really come alive” after getting onto medium tires He was able to at least see a McLaren car in the distance He thought he had some chance to contend for at least sixth place right?” Hamilton said of his race comments “I don’t know what you’re gonna write — whether I was disrespectful or whatever ...” Insert a gif of Michael Scott from “The Office” with his “thank you” hands directed right at you The Miami Grand Prix race would have ended without a climax if Hamilton’s sarcasm and wit didn’t carry the end of the race from an entertainment standpoint The gap between Norris and Russell was so vast Sky Sports analyst and former driver Martin Brundle said: “McLaren could’ve made another pit stop just for the fun of it It’s also a measure of how difficult it is for Formula One to hold onto the American attention span beyond the fans who already clamor for the sport This is far from a Miami problem. The Miami race has become one of the best on the F1 calendar four years into a 10-year deal. An extension was announced this week for another 10 years of the Miami Grand Prix through 2041 F1’s presence in the United States runs through Miami — just like it does at the Circuit of the Americas in Austin is the moments of pure entertainment are few and far in between They’re easily digested on social media clips instead of a two-hour race unless the novice fan has elevated to appointment viewer Significant intrigue comes at the start of every race around Turn 1 where the pack fights mightily to get out in front Some drivers might overtake their struggling counterparts after the formation line is set Others will swap places after they pit once or twice during the race and finished third in the Miami sprint race But the pressure is mounting after his Grand Prix performances in his first season with Ferrari and seventh again in Saudi Arabia before what unfolded in Miami Leclerc and Ferrari appeared to all be at odds six races into being on the same side The drama that unfolded was sports and reality TV at its finest “I could have said way worse things on the radio You hear some of the things other people said in the past,” Hamilton said You got to understand that we're under a huge amount of pressure within the cars You're never going to get the most peaceful messages in the heat of battle Added Leclerc: “There’s no bad feelings with Lewis All I understand is he wants to try and optimize just as much as I want to try and optimize the car potential.” Ferrari trails first-place McLaren in the Constructors’ standings by 152 points They’re also looking up at Mercedes and Red Bull Hamilton is in seventh in the Drivers’ standings Leclerc (53) and his 18-year-old Mercedes replacement Kimi Antonelli (48) Hamilton’s elusive eighth title might still be elusive this season But he’s striving for a chance to just compete at this point in his transition from Mercedes to Ferrari “I truly believe that we fix some of the problems that we have with the car we'll be back in the fight … It just can't come quick [enough],” Hamilton said “I look forward to the time where maybe I can fight for a podium — and be nice.” by Jakai Spikes CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. — Rescue crews from Hamilton County had a busy and challenging weekend, pulling a Vanderbilt University student out of a cave where he became trapped we talked with members of the Chattanooga Hamilton County Rescue Service who were called up to Sparta 'We were thinking it might be a multi-day rescue.' The student became trapped in Blue Spring Cave near Sparta The Chattanooga Hamilton County Rescue Service says the student who was on a research trip with classmates fell ill three miles into the cave and was too weak to exit on his own The mission required several hours of effort from the rescue crews rescuers considered carrying the student out on a makeshift bed known as a sked the student eventually managed to walk and crawl out of the cave on his own "At some point the cave becomes very small and there's this one section of the cave that's a little over 2,000 feet of crawling." The Hamilton County Rescue Team used a communication device resembling a World War II-era phone to maintain contact with the trapped student According to the National Speleological Society Blue Spring Cave is the longest mapped cave in Tennessee The rescue team made contact with the student three miles into the cave MIAMI — Arriving in the media interview pen under Hard Rock Stadium Lewis Hamilton cut a very different demeanor after the Miami Grand Prix than his radio messages to Ferrari midway through Sunday’s race otherwise conveyed Frustration over the time it took Ferrari to get Hamilton and teammate Charles Leclerc to swap positions during the race sparked some rather clipped radio messages from the seven-time world champion Hamilton felt he was losing too much time being stuck behind Leclerc while on fresher if he’d stayed behind his teammate for too long would’ve been past their best and any chance of catching the cars ahead lost Ferrari initially thought that by keeping Leclerc within one second ahead Hamilton could use the Drag Reduction System (DRS) overtaking aid to gain more straight-line speed that would help him defend from a chasing car close behind I got out of the way,” Hamilton reminded his engineer who then said they would indeed swap the order But Hamilton interjected: “Have a tea break while you’re at it!” after Ferrari reversed the call in the race’s closing stages Hamilton was informed of the remaining threat from Williams driver Carlos Sainz behind “You want me to let him past as well?” Hamilton asked Was it the first sign of major tension between Ferrari and Hamilton the star driver F1’s most famous team had sensationally swooped to sign for 2025 A crack in a relationship only in its sixth race weekend Hamilton insisted after the race that was simply not the case Although he was the last of the 20 drivers to complete their media duties after opting to change out of his race overalls — and after a chat with Ferrari team principal Fred Vasseur — Hamilton’s tone was light as he claimed he “genuinely enjoyed” the race But questions about the radio exchanges were inevitable “I didn’t think the decision came quick enough,” Hamilton admitted I have no problems with the team or with Charles.” This is not the first time Hamilton’s radio messages with Ferrari have faced scrutiny this season a chaotic wet weather race that would make a start to life with any team tricky there were a few tense moments with his race engineer But Hamilton felt the messages were overblown in the media It was all part of the getting-to-know-you stage of any new driver/engineer partnership But what Hamilton said in Miami seemed more pointed It wasn’t a mix-up in communication or asking for clarity The team had all the data to make a decision and he was pressuring Ferrari to make a call it was about creating a sense of urgency for the good of his race He described what occurred as being “in a panic” trying to keep the car on the road while wanting the call that would decide his race to be made He was asked about the “tea break” comment mate.’” Hamilton then theatrically turned his wrist while speaking to reporters in the pen and stared at his watch “Well … OK!” He added that he’d “definitely” made similar comments to his engineer at Mercedes Hamilton did not speak to Adami during the cool-down lap once the Miami race had concluded only receiving a couple of instructions to pick up rubber on his tires and to change some engine settings Vasseur came to his driver’s room immediately after the race for their chat Vasseur told reporters he could “perfectly understand the frustration” from Hamilton he thought Ferrari “did a good job” managing the situation — also noting the potential for delays in F1 broadcasts when playing radio messages versus when they are happening live “It’s always much easier to do it (make a call) two hours later,” Vasseur said Hamilton also suggested it had been a positive discussion with Vasseur “I just put my hand on his shoulder and (was) like don’t be so sensitive,’” Hamilton said — a hint that Vasseur may not have been impressed initially “You’ve got to understand we’re under a huge amount of pressure within the car You’re never going to get the most peaceful messages coming through in the heat of the battle Hamilton knocked back a suggestion he had been “feisty” on the radio “I’ve still got my fire in my belly,” he said “I could feel a bit of it really coming up there.” The other party involved in the radio calls was eager to avoid discussing the matter when he spoke over half an hour before Hamilton “I think the story is going to be big enough already But Leclerc does feel there should have been more of a discussion before deciding to swap the Ferrari cars around in the first place Hamilton joined Ferrari hoping to fight for his elusive eighth world championship A teammate as good as Leclerc would always pose close competition which would likely warrant uncomfortable conversations What made all of this difficult for Hamilton and Ferrari was that it took place over seventh and eighth place on the Miami track far away from where either party wants to be This year’s Ferrari car is not easy to drive and hasn’t enjoyed the same performance step year-on-year as the team’s rivals Hamilton snared third in the sprint Saturday thanks to a bold strategy call — one he pushed for — to come in early to change from wet to dry tires and then felt more positive about his main race potential despite struggling to 12th in qualifying Ferrari knew it wouldn’t be fighting with McLaren and Red Bull at the very front in Miami But to be languishing also behind Mercedes and instead be using these tactics to fend off a Williams — a team confined to the lower midfield for much of the past decade — was a damning reflection of Ferrari’s struggles in Miami The car simply hasn’t been there this season two weeks on from Leclerc wrestling the car to the podium in Jeddah Vasseur interrupted a follow-up question about the team orders radio discussions, claiming it was “not the story of the day.” He stressed the greater worry for Ferrari was its lack of car performance. “I would be much more keen to speak about why we finished one minute behind McLaren.” But Hamilton did seem more upbeat than at the past three races about the possibility of light being at the end of the tunnel for Ferrari with its car issues “I truly believe that when we fix some of the problems that we have with the car we’ll be back in the fight with the Mercedes “It just can’t come quick enough.” Upgrades are expected to be added to the SF-25 cars at the next round at Imola there will be that added degree of frustration and urgency in Hamilton which has driven him to statistically the most successful career in F1 history What’s important for the relationship between him and Ferrari is that the understanding remains in place were all down to that: A frustration with the situation both sides find themselves in “I’m not going to apologize for being a fighter,” Hamilton said “I’m not going to apologize for still wanting it.” (Top photo: Charly Triballeau / AFP via Getty Images) Lewis Hamilton has driven more laps than the majority of drivers on the current F1 grid Lewis Hamilton has gone viral on TikTok after posting hilarious onboard footage of the chaotic Miami lego race which took place ahead of the Miami Grand Prix. For the 20 drivers it was an unforgettable moment at the Miami International Autodrome with the parade lap having been completed in life-size lego replicas of their F1 cars. with one driver having driven the remarkable machine whilst the other sat in the back and recorded the chaos unfolding around them. each car was been created by a team of 26 designers weighing 1,000kg - more than a real F1 car - reaching speeds of 20 km/h and actual Pirelli tyres It was potentially the slowest lap in the history of the circuit Hamilton posted a video of the lego race to TikTok which was filled with uncontrollable laughter and crashes Get quick access to your favorite articles Manage alerts on breaking news and favorite drivers Make your voice heard with article commenting Charles Leclerc insists he has “no bad feelings” with Ferrari team-mate Lewis Hamilton after controversial strategy calls saw the pair twice swap positions during the Miami Grand Prix Hamilton complained over team radio that he should be freed from behind Leclerc given he was on medium tyres compared to Leclerc on the hard compound and the seven-time world champion grew increasingly exasperated as he was kept from passing Leclerc was eventually told to let Hamilton through but, after he failed to catch Andrea Kimi Antonelli in sixth, the positions were reversed. The Monegasque claimed he was unaware of Hamilton’s complaints and has no issues with his team-mate, instead saying Ferrari itself has to improve in such situations. “I knew Lewis was on a medium, so if anything he would struggle a bit more to go to the end than me, so we had to take care of tyres, but I understand as well that he wanted to try and do something different, so I appreciate that,” said Leclerc. “I mean I would have done the same thing if I was him, trying to be a bit more aggressive with the medium tyres, so there's no bad feelings with Lewis, not at all. Charles Leclerc, Ferrari, Lewis Hamilton, Ferrari “We need to do better, that's for sure. Today was not ideal and was far from maximising our potential, but we've got to regroup as a team and be better. “I just think we maybe should have discussed a little bit more before doing the swap because obviously you are trying to go to the end with those tyres, so I'm trying to do a good job with my tyres and then everything is tricky, and I did not expect Carlos [Sainz] to be so close. “All of this made the situation a bit trickier, but again I think there's plenty for us to look at. As I said, we need to do a step, and we need to be robust enough that whenever we find ourselves in those situations we do better. “I think we will be quite aligned on the fact that today wasn't the Sunday we wanted and even though the pace is not there, I don't think there was any miracles. If everything had gone perfectly maybe we would have finished in front of Kimi, but that's it.” Leclerc himself gave a couple of feisty radio messages about hurting his tyres once in the dirty air of Hamilton, but he did concede that the pair scrapping for the minor points positions also played a part. “There is the frustration already that I was fighting for P8 at the time and I was not making any gains,” he added. “I was really struggling with the car, so there's the frustration of that and then all the rest, it all adds up. The radio is not always the real picture. “I was obviously focusing on my race, on my tyres, I was trying to really keep them because I had already the first lap fighting with Carlos with the new tyres and that's not really what I wanted, so then I had to take care of my tyres and that was it.” From Formula 1 to MotoGP we report straight from the paddock because we love our sport, just like you.

and encourage you to rate this article Newsletters in your inbox See all Carlos Sainz has escaped a penalty after his collision with Lewis Hamilton on the final lap of the 2025 Miami Grand Prix the Williams driver was deemed to not be at fault with neither driver receiving any form of punishment the stewards provided a detailed explanation for their decision not to penalize either driver for the clash on Turn 17 "Car 55 attempted an overtake on the inside of Car 44 into Turn 17 and both cars made contact at the apex," the stewards stated in their assessment of the incident "The Stewards determine that both drivers contributed to the incident as Car 55 did not clearly get in a position to have the right to the racing line according to the Driving Standards Guidelines and at the same time Car 44 turned into the corner earlier than usual and therefore impacted the driver of Car 55 in his overtaking attempt "No driver is deemed predominantly to blame for the collision and therefore no further action is taken" Sainz maintains his P9 finish with the Ferrari driver finishing ahead of him The race was a frustrating one for Hamilton as he battled against team orders Struggling behind teammate Charles Leclerc he eventually was told to overtake as his medium tires fried in the dirty air after not catching Mercedes driver Kimi Antonelli swapping the drivers into their original positions "As per a rule within the team, we swapped back at the end," the Scuderia chief Fred Vasseur said following the race "I think we let the chance for Lewis to go in front of Charles but it was impossible to overtake between them if we don't let them go "And I think it was the opportunity for Lewis to catch up [Kimi] Antonelli and I think we did a good job." Ohio (WKRC) - A Hamilton County sheriff's cruiser is draped with bunting in honor of retired deputy Larry Henderson It sits at the sheriff's Hamilton Avenue location Henderson's badge number is also part of the display The sheriff's office plans to retire it A similar cruiser sits at the sheriff's post in Anderson Township Lewis Hamilton has addressed comments he made over team radio during the Miami Grand Prix, where he tried to convince his Ferrari Formula 1 team to grant him a switch with Charles Leclerc suggesting "people might not like them" and brushing them off as just "sarcastic" Reflecting on his race, Hamilton noted that he felt pent up behind Leclerc while on the medium tyres, and was of the opinion that he could have caught Andrea Kimi Antonelli had the Ferrari pitwall taken action sooner Ferrari eventually acquiesced and Hamilton made up ground on the Mercedes driver but progress appeared to stall out and the Scuderia decided to enact a switchback to give Leclerc the chance to catch Antonelli Although Hamilton admitted being frustrated while stuck behind Leclerc he seemed generally enthused by his race and stated that he was optimistic of making progress before tucking up behind his team-mate's rear wing I generally enjoyed the race – I think this weekend whilst we're not as quick as we want to be I feel like I had a better weekend in general," Hamilton said but starting 12th it was very hard to overtake here I got onto the medium tyre and I felt the car really come alive and I felt super optimistic in that moment "All I could see is a Mercedes ahead and I was thinking maybe we can get up to sixth or something but we lost a lot of time in those laps [behind Leclerc] and I didn't think the decision came quick enough I have no problems with either team or with Charles Hamilton accepted that the team had a difficult job in trying to ensure it treated both drivers equally but he was of the view that the team should prioritise the faster car and switch back if the move couldn’t be made His main issue was in the team's insistence that it would "come back to him" over his radio calls and he asked for snappier decisions from the team I could have said way worse things on the radio like some of the things that other people have said in the past You've got to understand that we're under a huge amount of pressure within the cars You're never going get the most peaceful messages come through in the heat of battle it wasn't like I was effing and blinding – just make a decision From Formula 1 to MotoGP we report straight from the paddock because we love our sport In order to keep delivering our expert journalism we want to give you the opportunity to enjoy an ad-free and tracker-free website and to continue using your adblocker The Hamilton County Sheriff's Office on May 4 identified the veteran deputy who was struck and killed near the University of Cincinnati campus two days earlier as Larry Henderson Henderson retired in December after working 33 years with the Hamilton County Sheriff's office, according to a Facebook post on Dec. 20 from the department "Larry began his journey as a Sheriff’s Office trainer early in his career Even before Henderson's name was released to the public praise for him and his work spread among friends and colleagues "This is devastating.

You can find her at X @LMeeMotorsport Ferrari driver Charles Leclerc addressed the back and forth with his teammate Lewis Hamilton during the Miami Grand Prix urged the Maranello outfit to swap positions He argued that he was wasting his tires while stuck behind Leclerc It took some back and forth before the team confirmed the instructions to swap positions this decision was reversed later on in the race when Charles made the same arguments While speaking to the media after the race the Monegasque driver addressed the situation I think the story is going to be big enough already and Today was not ideal and was far from maximizing our potential but we've got to regroup as a team and be better." When asked if he was frustrated when he had to let Hamilton go by I just think we maybe should have discussed a little bit more before doing the swap because obviously you are trying to go to the end with those tires so I'm trying to do a good job with my tires Then I did not expect Carlos to be so close all of this made the situation a little bit trickier but again I think there's plenty for us to look at we need to be robust enough that whenever we find ourselves in those situations there is the frustration already that I was fighting for P8 at the time and I was not making any gains The radio is not always the real picture." Leclerc confirmed that he didn't consider swapping positions with Hamilton before he was instructed to "Not really because I knew Lewis was on a medium [tire] so if anything he wants to struggle a bit more to go to the end but I understand as well that he wanted to try and do something different I would have done the same thing if I was him and trying to be a bit more aggressive with the medium tires I understand that he wants to try and optimize as much as I want to try and optimize the car potential." Already not where they wanted to be running at the Miami Grand Prix Ferrari team orders impacting Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc did little to improve the mood However, Leclerc has made it clear that he has “no bad feelings” towards Hamilton after the Miami Grand Prix the Ferrari drivers swapped around twice without success on the way to a P7 finish for Leclerc and Hamilton P8 Additional reporting by Elizabeth Blackstock Ferrari split strategies for the Miami Grand Prix But after the sole round of pit stops were complete Hamilton came up behind Leclerc on theoretically the faster tyre but was left frustrated when Ferrari told him to hold position Hamilton continued to argue his case and Ferrari did a U-turn but with Hamilton unable to ditch his team-mate then Leclerc felt like he was being held up and asked to be let back through by Hamilton Leclerc crossed the line 1.5 seconds behind the Mercedes of Kimi Antonelli in P7 as Hamilton narrowly held on to P8 under late pressure from Carlos Sainz in the Williams which included being speared by Sainz at Turn 17 on the last lap while Leclerc is frustrated over a lack of pace in the Ferrari – McLaren Red Bull and Mercedes having been quicker in Miami – he made it clear than none of that frustration was directed towards Hamilton whether he considered letting Hamilton through before Ferrari asked he would struggle a bit more to go to the end than me “But I understand as well that he wanted to try and do something different I would have done the same thing if I was him and trying to be a bit more aggressive with the medium tyres “There’s no bad feelings with Lewis I understand that he wants to try and optimise as much as I want to try and optimise the car potential Asked if he had the chance to speak with Hamilton after the race so we don’t have enough time to really speak.” 👉 F1 2025: Head-to-head race statistics between team-mates 👉 F1 2025: Head-to-head qualifying statistics between team-mates The frustration of the Ferrari drivers played out over team radio at times during the race, that especially true for Hamilton And Leclerc agreed with the suggestion that this is a consequence from the lack of performance He added: “There’s the frustration already that I was fighting for P8 at the time the radio doesn’t always… In this case probably… But the radio is not always the real picture.” Ferrari sit P4 in the Constructors’ Championship standings Read next – Miami GP: Piastri continues winning streak after more Verstappen v Norris fireworks © Planet Sport Limited 2025 • All Rights Reserved Broadway Off-Broadway Off-Off Broadway Cabaret Dance Opera Classical Music Nashville Minneapolis / St. Paul Connecticut Atlanta Chicago Los Angeles WEST END UK Regional Canada Australia / New Zealand Europe Asia Latin America Africa / Middle East TV/Movies Music The concert was performed at Tilles Center for the Performing Arts at Long Island University ALL ARTS recently debuted House Seats: Mandy Gonzalez in Concert a new concert film featuring a selection of Broadway hits and original songs performed by the Broadway star Taped live at Tilles Center for the Performing Arts at Long Island University the concert is described as a "celebration of identity storytelling and music that spans genres and generations."

drivers’ championship George Russell of Mercedes beat Red Bull’s Max Verstappen to the final place on the podium It was another disappointing day for Ferrari, with Lewis Hamilton repeatedly airing his frustration over the team’s race strategy in Miami Subscribe to The Athletic today It was a lively grand prix for Lewis Hamilton Those radio messages were a lot of fun for the watching public given Hamilton’s competitive sprint race too But such fun probably came at Ferrari’s expense — and the team simply cannot afford for it to continue So where are they at and what do today’s Miami machinations mean for Maranello going forward Our F1 correspondent Luke Smith has just filed his thoughts from Florida Lewis Hamilton’s team radio sass lays bare the big issue facing Ferrari in F1 2025 and Red Bull’s protest against George Russell’s third-place finish has been thrown out by the Miami stewards Red Bull had argued Russell had not slowed enough when passing a single yellow flag being waved for Gabriel Bortoleto’s stranded Sauber Max Verstappen immediately radioed Red Bull to “check if George lifted — there was a yellow.” The Dutchman’s team — having quickly reviewed the telemetry data from all cars disturbed via GPS track systems — reported Russell had only lifted to 90 percent throttle application Verstappen even braked and downshifted his gears as he passed the yellow flag being shown at a marshal’s post where Bortoleto had stopped for his part told Mercedes he “lifted for the yellow there.” Mercedes did not get a notification of the incident on the F1 live timing data systems but Russell insisted he saw “pretty clear the yellow flag.” Russell repeated his case and it was found he had lifted off to 75 percent throttle even though Russell’s absolute speed leaving the yellow flag zone was higher than it had been entering (fairly obvious physics explains why) he was actually going slower than had he been at full racing chat past the incident the stewards were satisfied he had not broken Article 26.1 a) of F1’s sporting rules and cleared him Russell keeps third behind Piastri and Norris and there’s even been a final race classification issued by the FIA Let’s get some of your opinions on what played out in Miami today — from the shifting dynamic at McLaren to more praise for Williams… Norris didn’t back out — he avoided being smashed into by an out of control Verstappen when Norris had the rights to the corner Ferrari strategy is like waiting for your local council to make a planning decision.” 💬 Elijah O: “The driver hierarchy at McLaren is officially shifted but Oscar has been a step above him from week one it feels like he is so over cautious that Max always eeks out the position to the detriment of Norris.” 💬 Michel F: “Williams better than Ferrari James Vowles is doing an amazing job turning around that team Aston Martin is having a catastrophic season so far.” We love reading and featuring your comments you can put your thoughts to us in an email whenever you wish The address: live@theathletic.com bar any late fallout with the race stewards of course with Formula One heading to Europe for the first time in a fortnight with the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix at Imola — a home race for Ferrari and also Kimi Antonelli… This weekend marks the end of the first quarter this season — and there will still be so much racing to come Max Verstappen’s impressive run to pole on Saturday was the perfect answer to the ludicrous suggestions that becoming a father might cost him a tenth or two Today showed again there is no sign of the Red Bull driver watering down his hard elbows-out approach to racing The Red Bull clearly isn’t suiting Verstappen enough right now to sustain a fight against the McLarens over a full race distance Going wheel-to-wheel with Verstappen and trying to interpret the racing rules to plot moves against the Dutchman is an added interesting dynamic for the McLarens in particular to consider through this year’s title fight Verstappen ultimately crossed the line fourth after quickly losing touch with the McLarens and then falling further back thanks to the VSC which allowed Mercedes driver George Russell to jump into P3 Alex Albon had a great finish to his weekend claiming P5 in the race and alone in P8 for the drivers’ championship and has looked hugely improved for most of the year is how the team deals with its switch in attention to developing for 2026’s regulation changes over the rest of this season but what is it about this track that really suits us And I think this track doesn’t have corners we don’t like the car was in a good place and we could build very quickly which in a sprint race weekend is very important “Realistically we’re not going to get P4 in the constructors so the focus is trying to keep P5 and then we’ll have a different upgrade plan to other teams A year after Ferrari made the decision to sign Lewis Hamilton — leaving Carlos Sainz to find a new seat for this season — the Spaniard not only finished ahead of Hamilton today but Williams secured a double points finish That is a critical haul for the ‘best of the rest’ battle and one significantly bigger than Ferrari’s The Williams duo were running ahead of the Ferrari drivers around halfway through the race before Hamilton and Charles Leclerc executed consecutive overtakes after a tight battle with Sainz What makes Alex Albon’s fifth-place finish and Sainz’s ninth-place finish impressive is that Williams has halted its development for 2025 It’s only a matter of time before the team begins dropping off making these early gains even more critical Its only point-less weekend so far in 2025 came in Bahrain It boils down to when other teams have or will stop developing their 2025 cars and focus solely on the 2026 vehicle too But you can’t ignore how Albon finished ahead of a Mercedes and both Ferrari drivers in Miami his engineer speaking is playing out when Russell passes the yellow so it’s not clear if he lifts — although he tells Mercedes (who didn’t even get an alert that a yellow flag was out on the FIA timing system) he did actually downshifts as he slows passing the yellow flag Red Bull then tells him Russell only lifted to 90 percent throttle They will have quickly reviewed the telemetry data coming off all cars that is disturbed via GPS track systems Red Bull clearly feels there is a case to answer here One of the more surprising moments of today’s race came over the team radio between Lewis Hamilton and Ferrari the team told the seven-time world champion he needed to stay behind — but within DRS range of — teammate Charles Leclerc to which Hamilton responded: “This is not good teamwork The point was to make sure Williams’ Carlos Sainz didn’t pass the Ferrari duo Hamilton reminded his team he swapped in China and race engineer Riccardo Adami responded: “Understood Hamilton quipped back: “Have a tea break while you’re at it!” Leclerc urged over the team radio for Hamilton to go quicker because the Monegasque driver was stuck in dirty air Sainz was around 1.7 seconds behind at that point with Kimi Antonelli four seconds ahead of both The initial suggestion for the Ferrari drivers to hold suggests seventh and eighth were the best the team felt it could finish When told Sainz was 1.4 seconds behind him Lando Norris may have claimed on Thursday he’s no great believer in momentum but after a third consecutive victory it’s impossible to say Oscar Piastri is not the man in control of this title race The Australian got unlucky with the timing of the virtual safety car on Saturday costing him the sprint race win to Norris — and he qualified only fourth for the main race Norris seemed to have the pace and spark missing in both Bahrain and Jeddah giving him a chance to claw back at Piastri’s points lead But the tide turned back in Piastri’s favor soon after the lights went out Norris dropped back four places after backing out of a move on Verstappen at Turn 2 And Piastri went in the opposite direction made lighter work of passing Verstappen for the lead before creating a significant gap in the time it took Norris to get ahead of the Red Bull This was a weekend Norris could have swept Piastri has come away with an even greater championship lead and that last bit of news from our F1 editor Alex does rather beautifully explain why Max Verstappen’s race engineer Gianpiero Lambiase was on the radio over the final laps telling his driver to make sure he stays within five seconds of George Russell to the line and Verstappen made sure the gap was only 2.3s at the line There is yet more controversy breaking in the paddock Red Bull has protested George Russell’s result over the same issue that has Sainz and Gasly speaking to the stewards They feel Russell did not slow for the yellow flags and as Verstappen was just two seconds behind the Mercedes at the finish there could be a change to their order if a five-second penalty is applied Verstappen reported Russell to Red Bull but Russell told Mercedes he did lift Carlos Sainz has indeed been cleared — as Lewis Hamilton was — in terms of the investigation into their late contact but the Williams driver is in proper hot water in another sense He and Alpine’s Pierre Gasly are being investigated for possibly failing to slow for yellow flags during the Gabriel Bortoleto recovery incident That’s usually a slamdunk penalty as the stewards have access to car telemetry But unlike with Lando Norris in Qatar last year over the same situation the officials are interviewing the drivers involved before issuing judgements An interesting little fact in the title battle… Oscar Piastri has now overtaken Lando Norris in terms of grand prix wins it was 5-2 in Norris’ favor and this time last year they both had zero F1 career wins (non sprints) Lewis Hamilton continued speaking to Sky Sports about his radio sparring with Ferrari and asking to pass his teammate 💬 “It was the same when I was at Mercedes the way my mind works… I’m clearly holding the other car up personally I don’t want to lose that place but if it means the team can get further ahead Charles was really struggling and it took a long time for everyone to see it — and by the end it was too late let’s bring you a bit of Lewis Hamilton as he spoke publicly about the race he came across extremely chilled — although that is classic Lewis… We are not where we want to be and we’ve lost some performance over the past races We know where it is and we’re just waiting for a fix to regain some of it But then I lost a lot of time behind Charles and in that moment for sure I was (wanting us to) make a concise decision “Some people didn’t like the comments but you have got to understand it’s frustration and people say way worse things What questions do you have for our F1 writers Their thoughts on where the championship battle goes from here and how unhappy

hot and humid day for the drivers around what is quite a technical layout — bar the two long straights that do allow the drivers some respite Lando Norris was a bit feisty as he spoke to Sky Sports about his opening lap battle with Max Verstappen On his decision to back off: “Without that I’m in the wall On whether Verstappen’s move was unfair: “It’s not for me to decide.” On how he can better deal with it: “Qualify ahead On getting past Verstappen in the end: “Oscar got past him It just depends how much he wants to fight you On whether he believes Verstappen can really “do whatever he wants”: “No On whether he would do anything differently on the first lap: “Nothing Lewis Hamilton was left to rue Ferrari’s “big time” struggles after ending Qualifying for the Miami Grand Prix in P12 with the seven-time World Champion admitting that progressing into Q3 is often proving “tough” at the moment Hamilton’s Saturday at the Miami International Autodrome began in slightly more promising style after the Briton climbed from P7 to P3 in the Sprint with Hamilton unable to improve on his lap time in Q2 which resulted in him exiting in 12th place READ MORE: Verstappen surges to pole position ahead of Norris and Antonelli in Miami GP Qualifying Given that team mate Charles Leclerc has also spoken of the squad’s pace difficulties during the weekend Hamilton was quizzed after Qualifying on whether the Scuderia have an idea of the direction to take in order to make improvements to the SF-25 but we’re struggling big time,” the 40-year-old told Sky Sports F1 “We’re trying our hardest not to make big set-up changes P12 Hamilton says his Ferrari is ‘a bit of a mess at the moment balance-wise’ we’ve got problems with this instability that we’re struggling with We’re just generally not quick enough – just to get into Q3 is tough for us at the moment and once you’re then on that backfoot it’s hard to pick up those points.” Hamilton – who in a separate interview described the Ferrari as “a bit of a mess at the moment balance-wise” – predicted that Sunday’s Miami Grand Prix could prove to be a tricky day HIGHLIGHTS: Watch the Qualifying action from Miami as Verstappen secures spectacular pole position but we’ll try again tomorrow,” he conceded [I’ll] get back in the factory next week and just keep going.” who suffered a crash in wet conditions on his way to the grid prior to the Sprint getting underway which ultimately left him unable to start the 100km dash The Monegasque returned to action for Qualifying and ‘It’s just not good enough’ – Leclerc demands improvement from Ferrari after P8 in Miami Qualifying Pushed on how difficult it is to accept that the performance is not currently there in the car Leclerc responded: “The fact is that I’m not accepting it “It’s frustrating because it’s those kinds of days there’s been quite a few races already that I feel I’m doing a really good job but when you are finishing P4 I have no satisfaction of doing a good job READ MORE: Hamilton thrilled with P3 in Miami Sprint after ‘tough year so far’ while Leclerc blames himself for early crash “I’m just hoping that we can turn the situation around as soon as possible but at the moment that’s the situation we are in and there’s not much I can do.” Having displayed better race pace during recent Grand Prix weekends – including last time out in Saudi Arabia where he claimed a debut podium of the campaign – Leclerc was then asked if this gave him any hope for Sunday’s event in Miami but not so much either,” the 27-year-old said “I don’t think we can expect any miracles from us tomorrow It’s been a difficult race weekend since FP1 and it’s difficult to recover I hope the race pace will be as strong as in Jeddah but it’s a very different characteristics of track here I think that on paper it’s going to be more difficult.” Verstappen labels Miami Grand Prix ‘a struggle’ after slipping back to P4 as he reflects on gap to McLaren Piastri wins from Norris and Russell as McLaren seal commanding 1-2 in Miami Grand Prix Williams duo keen to 'play with strategies' as they target strong result in Miami after impressive Qualifying Lewis Hamilton's radio messages with race engineer Riccardo Adami grabbed much attention in Miami; however Lewis Hamilton has addressed his tense Ferrari radio conversations during the Miami Grand Prix by downplaying the severity of them and describing his messages as "sarcastic" The seven-time world champion started the sixth round of the season from a disappointing 12th on the grid but elevated into
