"This relationship is not working": Fans react to Lewis Hamilton's 'are you upset with me?' radio to his engineer

Fans shared their concerns about Lewis Hamilton's relationship with his race engineer Riccardo Adami. This has come under the spotlight once again after the Ferrari driver found a blank response to his question about Adami being upset with him, which he asked during the recently concluded Monaco GP. Fans shared their reactions to this exchange on social media.

As Hamilton arrived from Mercedes to Ferrari, he had to part ways with his long-standing engineer Peter Bonnington and start working with Adami at the Prancing Horse. However, their relationship has often come under question.

Hamilton and Adami have shared uncomfortable radio exchanges throughout the season so far, something that was repeated at the Principality. After the race, the seven-time world champion asked if his race engineer was upset with the back and forth on the radio.

However, as per a recently surfaced video on X, Hamilton kept waiting on the cool-down lap and did not receive any response. There was silence on the other end of the radio. Here's the video that surfaced on X:

After the video found traction and gained fans' attention, here's how fans reacted on the micro-blogging site, X:

"I can't comment on the race, I was in no-mans land. I started P7 with the penalty, and then passed two cars [with pitstops] and then in no-mans land from there."

Lando Norris of McLaren claimed the victory, ahead of Charles Leclerc of Ferrari. Championship leader, Oscar Piastri, rounded off the podium places, while reigning champion Max Verstappen crossed the finish line in P4.
