Hamilton's radio reveals frustration over Brazilian GP pit call

Lewis Hamilton made a strong start to the Brazilian Grand Prix from 20th and briefly ran as high as ninth, before Max Verstappen passed him and Ferrari asked him to let Oliver Bearman through. Hamilton repeatedly urged his team to switch from intermediate tyres to slicks as the track dried, and pitted for slicks on lap 19, a switch that proved well timed.

Ferrari later brought him in for an early second stop, leaving him a lap down behind race leader Lando Norris. Hamilton rejoined and drew away from Norris, but when rain returned he was called in fractionally too late as he closed on Liam Lawson on lap 61. He ran wide at Ferradura and then spun at high speed on his approach to the pit lane entrance.

He eventually made it into the pits, but his race was ruined and he took the chequered flag in ninth place, a lap down.
