Hamilton made headlines at the Miami Grand Prix when he laid into Adami and the Ferrari strategists for what he perceived to be their tardiness in making the call to swap position

Hamilton was also involved in a team orders controversy with his Ferrari colleague Charles Leclerc. He was held up by the Monegasque driver, who was on slower tyres, for several laps before he was eventually let through. Hamilton failed to push on, though, and the positions were swapped back prior to the chequered flag.
