Lewis Hamilton handed Ferrari caution as Red Bull junior makes F1 test debut

Summary
Alesi criticises Hamilton's Dutch GP radio messages as Red Bull junior Tsolov makes F1 test debut. Ferrari unveils Schumacher tribute, Verstappen discusses V8 engines, Norris pushes McLaren on fixes.

Lewis Hamilton's radio frustration at the Dutch GP has drawn a rebuke from former Ferrari driver Jean Alesi, who called the messages 'out of place'. The criticism comes as Ferrari prepares for Monza, where it will honour Michael Schumacher with special race suits.

Why it matters:

With the title fight tightening, any sign of friction at Ferrari becomes a talking point. Alesi's warning shows how closely Hamilton's first season at Maranello is being watched.

The details:

  • Alesi believes Hamilton's frustrated radio messages at Zandvoort were inappropriate.
  • Red Bull junior Nikola Tsolov completed his first F1 test with Racing Bulls at Imola, calling it 'incredible'.
  • Ferrari unveiled Schumacher-inspired suits for Hamilton and Charles Leclerc for the Italian GP.
  • Max Verstappen says he is 'willing to accept' waiting until 2030 for a possible V8 engine return after talks with F1 and the FIA.
  • Lando Norris urged McLaren to 'attack' the MCL40's slow-speed weaknesses, warning of 'a very tough end of the season' as he trails Kimi Antonelli by 83 points.
  • Andrea Stella believes Norris is getting 'stronger and stronger' as the reigning champion builds momentum after his Dutch GP victory.

What's next:

Ferrari's full Schumacher tribute will be revealed at Monza, where Hamilton will want to respond on track. McLaren face a development race to close the gap to Antonelli, while Tsolov's progress could shape Red Bull's 2027 driver plans.
