Lewis Hamilton has criticised an F1 team over an error that cost them the win at Monza.
The Mercedes star endured another difficult weekend at the Italian GP, only setting the sixth fastest time in qualifying in a performance that left the star ‘furious’.
Hamilton gave a harsh verdict on his qualifying pace, claiming the team deserved better in what was an angry admission from the champion.
Did McLaren throw away a Monza victory?
Charles Leclerc achieved a spectacular victory at home for Ferrari, against the odds after completing a one-stop strategy.
Whilst Lando Norris started the race from pole position, he was soon overtaken by his team-mate Oscar Piastri on the opening lap of the race.
McLaren decided to opt for a two-stop race, and finished with Piastri in P2 and Norris in P3 as Leclerc took a popular win.
In an interview following the Italian GP, Hamilton criticised McLaren’s strategy, and outlined that they could have made a one-stop strategy work.
“I think McLaren had the pace. They just pushed too hard,” Hamilton said to Sky Sports.
