- A former Williams manager has criticized Lewis Hamilton's rhythm and radio
- The seven -time world champion ended tenth in its disappointing debut in Ferrari
Lewis Hamilton has been very criticized for his 'shameful' Ferrari debut at the Australia Grand Prix last weekend.
Hamilton, 40, completed his first race weekend in the Scuderia with a tenth place in the pictures, since at one stage he led the Grand Prix in Melbourne.
The disappointing result saw Hamilton, who described the eighth on Sunday, finish two places behind the new Ferrari Charles Leclerc team and seven positions of the former Mercedes Member partner George Russell, who joined the winner of the race, Lando Norris and Max Verstappen on the podium.
While he was out of the brand in terms of points, the seven -time world champion would have waited a better start in life in Ferrari after his seismic change of silver arrows in the low season, with him and Leclerc in the rhythm of McLaren and Red Bull.
The former Williams manager, Peter Windsor, criticized Hamilton following his disappointing weekend, unhappy with the way he fell off the rhythm and stayed with his weapons on Ferrari radio with racing engineer Riccardo Adami.
While struggling towards the last stages of the race, Hamilton could be heard saying to “leave” Adami after they offered Pitwall guidance.

The former Williams manager, Peter Windsor, has criticized Hamilton's rhythm and shape on the radio
Reflecting on the moment in your YouTube channelWindsor said: 'There were many strange radio transmissions with Ferrari, almost bothering Charles Leclerc giving a difficult time.
'And they gave Lewis many instructions on how to overcome Alex Albon, to see with the DR and several switches. He kept saying: “I can handle it, I can handle it.”
'Well, Lewis, you didn't handle it and never overcome Alex Albon. For a Ferrari pilot, it is true that in his first Grand Prix (with the team), being surpassed by Alex Albon in Williams is a bit shameful, to be honest.
“I was surprised a little that Lewis was adopting a rather dogmatic approach on the radio because I am sure that in Pitwall they were thinking:” What's happening here, why can't it overcome it? “
Both Leclerc and Hamilton would probably have been better in Melbourne if Ferrari reacted faster to the late flood.
The Scuderia chose not to face its drivers until the last minute, which caused both Hamilton and Leclerc to lose significant land in slippery tires.
When questioning the strategy after the Grand Prix, Leclerc said: 'It was a difficult career and there are things in which we have to review and work.
'We were not the fastest, but under such climatic conditions, there was a possibility of scoring some great points where we did not take advantage of today.

'There are two things that we have to investigate. The first is easy, it was my mistake.
“The second is something that we will solve as a team, investigating our decisions and making sure to make the correct call if the situation reappears.”
