F1 have already held talks with Ferrari over the radio mess🐭age broadcast which angered the team.

Ferrari accused F1 of a deliberate attempt to stir up drama surrounding a driver swap involving 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Charles Leclerc in Sunday’s Chinese Grand Prix.

Struggling to keep pace with ♑the frontrunners and aware he was holding up Leclerc behind, Hamilton informed Ferrari he was considering letting his teammate through in a radio message which was not broadcast.

“I think I’m going to let Charles go, because I’m str💎uggling,” the seven-time world champion radioed in to Ferrari.

The swap did not happen immediately and Hami🍎lton was told “we are swapping cars” at Turn 14, to which he r🦩esponded “when he’s closer, yes.”

Hamilton appeared to change his mind about the swap briefly when he thought he was catching Mercedes’ George Russe🎐ll.

The 40-year-old Briton then replied “I🌳’ll tell you when we can swap” when another request came from race engineer Riccardo Adami to wave Leclerc by at Turn 14.

Hamilton eventually moved aside two corners later at Turn ไ1 on Lap꧒ 21.

Ferrari were 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:unhappy that only select radio ꦬmessages were broadcast and delayed, which gave t🐬he impression that Hamilton was disgruntled and disobeying a team order.

Team principal Fred Vasseur labelled the select broadcasting of team radio messages a “joke” and felt it had created 𓃲a false narrative.

F1 have now com🦩mented on the matter, insisting the decision to only play certain messages was not an "intentional🤪” attempt to mislead.

“There was absolutely no intention of presenting a misleading narrative regarding the Ferrari t🐻eam radio,” an F1ꦬ spokesperson told ltxcn.top.

“Due to other situatio🦩ns developing during th🐲e race the message from Lewis was not played but this was not intentional.”

What made Ferrari so unhappy

“I think this is a joke from FOM because the first call came from Lewis,” Vasseur said in𒆙 Shangh💟ai.

"Lewis asked us to swap, but to create the mess around༺ the sꩲituation they broadcast only the second part of the question. We will discuss with them.

"You can't imagine the number of questions I had about this when I came from the garage to here," he said. "It's all about the same thing: 'Is it a mess?' I ཧsaid no, it's Lewis who asked to swap.

"I'm not even sure you would even have these situations ten times at other teams in a season, and honesไtly from th🧔e pit wall we really appreciated the call from Lewis saying, 'guys, I'm losing the pace, I'm keen to swap’.

"It took us one la♑p to ask him to swap with Charles and then the pace was back. He said 'oh let's stay like this for a little bit' and we said 'no, if you 🦂up the pace we swap’.

"As a team the collaboration between the two guys is mega and I 𓄧can't ♐complain a single second about something.

“I understand the question, but you have ❀to ask the question to Stefano [Domenicali, F1 president and CEO] and not me because I'm not in charge of the broadcast.”
