Lewis Hamilton complains of “Snappe” Ferrari and weak strategic communications with the end of the Silverstone platform | F1 news

Luis Hamilton criticized his car and in Ferrari’s strategy, as a series of SilvesTone ended on Sunday.

Hamilton had finished in the first three places in his previous 12th ranked Silverston, but he was forced to settle in the fourth -fired position in the British Grand Prix 2025 behind Lando Norris, Oscar Baystiri, and the Niko Holkenburg’s dialect, which won his first platform ever despite the start of P19.

The world champion has suffered seven times from bad strategic calls during a rain boycott and many safety cars, but he also struggled to deal with the “Snappe” that he says has no confidence.

“The car was really, it’s really difficult to drive,” complained.

“It has no stability. So she goes to the angle, picks up, picks up, picks up, picks up. It will not remain fixed and this makes it very difficult. At low speed, he does not like to spin. It is a truly frustrating balance.”

Hamilton’s struggles saw him coming out of the path on a number of occasions, as he failed to bridge the gap to Holkenburg in the closing stages.

“It is the worst feeling,” added to Sky Sports F1.

“When this is constantly, you have no confidence constantly. The ultimate goal is to try to build confidence in the car and get faster and faster over time.

“It is like building a wall and then discusses it. When you cannot build this confidence, you don’t go anywhere.

“You are a kind of land of any man. That’s what you felt for most of the race.”

“We lost time and places through the strategy”

Hamilton’s conflicts with the car have doubled through many strategic calls that he saw losing the track.

When the rain arrived after 11 rolls, he saw him the first Hamilton station, he saw him falling from fourth to eighth and was late behind Haas Esteban Okon, then the Alps from Pierre Gazley for several rolls.

When Hamilton Gas passed in the 29th and Lance Stroll on the lamp 35, the home fans expected to deny comfortably at Hulkenberg in third place, but his team called him very early for SLICK tires faced when he came out.

Hamilton lost about five seconds on the first two beaches after the hole stopped and Halkinberg expanded his interest on medium tires before a later later stopped to deprive Hamilton from the thirteenth platform.

“We have lost time and a lot of places through the strategy,” Hamilton added.

“I am not really sure how you were P4 and I came out P8. This made life very difficult. I stumbled behind three cars for a long time.

“Then I stopped early in the hope of getting a large amount, it was very difficult. This car does not like these conditions at all.

“We went and went widely at the third and lost a lot of time. There were a lot of mistakes. It was not a good day.”

“What we have is very difficult.”

Ferrari Ferdrik Vasuor team manager revealed after the race that some decisions had taken “blind” because their GPS system had failed after 10 rolls and did not know where Hamilton was on the track.

In the end, the frustrating of the weekend, which started full of promise when Hamilton topped the timeline in the first practice and looked a real threat to the Acket.

“I think what is positive this week is that in practice I was there. I was happier in the car balance in dryness. Then in the qualifiers, we were much stronger,” he added.

“I think there are a lot of positives, and also, in a race like this, while it’s not great, you can download a lot.

“I feel I know how to explain to the team what I do not want in a car next year.

“What we have now makes it very difficult to drive, especially in these conditions.”
