via grandprix.comHamilton draws criticism over Madrid practice trafficDuring the Friday practice session at Madring, Lewis Hamilton faced criticism from multiple drivers for his slow laps, which they felt obstructed their performance. Notable complaints came from Carlos Sainz and Nico Hulkenberg, while Yuki Tsunoda's thumbs-up gesture was seen as sarcastic. Ralf Schumacher also weighed in, labeling Hamilton's actions as unsportsmanlike, although no penalties were handed out at that time.
The new circuit posed challenges for all drivers, with many opting to drive cautiously to avoid accidents. George Russell noted that the risk of incidents would likely increase as qualifying approached, emphasizing that Madring offers less margin for error compared to other tracks like Monaco. The situation regarding traffic management is expected to become more critical as drivers push for faster lap times.grandprix.comSat 12 Sep · 10:36 UTC

via Motorsport.comFerrari "too late" to prioritise Lewis Hamilton in F1 title fight, says Jolyon PalmerJolyon Palmer, a former Formula 1 driver, has expressed that Ferrari has missed its chance to support Lewis Hamilton in the ongoing championship race. He believes that the team has allowed their title aspirations to fade, particularly after a disappointing performance at Monza. Currently, Hamilton sits third in the standings, significantly trailing the championship leader Kimi Antonelli, while Leclerc is also behind in fifth place.
Palmer emphasized that the dynamics between Hamilton and Leclerc have hindered their chances, as both drivers have been focused on competing against each other rather than collaborating. He pointed out that their clashes during races have cost them valuable points, and with the season progressing, he feels it is now too late for Ferrari to prioritize Hamilton's bid for the title.
