Lewis Hamilton and Ferrari made headlines for the wrong reasons at the Miami Grand Prix as the seven-time world champion's infuriated radio messages attracted much attention.

Running an alternative strategy that put him on a different tyre compound to his team-mate Charles Leclerc, Hamilton became frustrated when he quickly closed on the Monegasque shortly after the race's only round of pit stops and wasn't immediately let through to chase down the Mercedes of Kimi Antonelli for sixth.

The seven-time world champion sent a series of transmissions expressing his dismay as the pit wall hesitated, rejected and then finally granted his request, by which point Hamilton felt too much life had been taken out of his tyres.
