The Ferrari driver did not appreciate the tactical management of the race that saw him finish in fourth position right behind George Russell.
Jean Alesi, in his usual Tuesday post-race commentary in the Corriere della Sera, emphasized that from his point of view Hamilton’s complaints over the radio are out of place: “I found Hamilton’s complaint over the radio and after the race out of place – Alesi’s words – okay, Charles didn’t give way immediately but I don’t think the missed podium was because of that. Lewis has a strong personality, he is an asset but also commands a certain respect. I remind us but also him, that Ferrari is Ferrari. It deserves respect. Even when it doesn’t immediately comply when he makes a request.”
