Lewis Hamilton warns of Ferrari’s strategy troubles, saying, “Ignore you.”

Here’s the latest update on Lewis Hamilton’s strategy clash with Ferrari following the Austrian Grand Prix:

Hamilton’s “Ignore You” Warning
Hamilton questioned why Ferrari put him on the same 3‑stop strategy as Charles Leclerc (medium → hard → medium), despite him feeling he could push longer on his tyres and potentially benefit from a safety car or fresher tyre strategy

He stressed: “I don’t want to get to a point where I’m ignoring you.” That was his message to the team before Silverstone, seeking more flexibility and better communication

Team Take & Context
Ferrari’s stand-in principal Jerome d’Ambrosio defended the strategy as “standard optimal” since both drivers were in clear air and not under immediate threat—aiming to secure a 3‑4 finish

Hamilton emphasized he’s not here merely to mirror his teammate; he wants to race on his own merits and continue adapting to the SF‑25’s evolving setup
