The issue every driver is dealing with

Unseen Ferrari discussion that cost Hamilton

The fallout from the Singapore Grand Prix is still rumbling on with Lewis Hamilton a huge talking point.

He was omitted from media duties because of a health issue and the British driver also struggled out on the track and lost places after others pitted and changed tyres.

His discussion with Ferrari race engineer Carlo Santi has since emerged and reads as follows, as per PlanetF1.

Hamilton: “What’s the goal here? What’s the plan? I have no idea what the hell we’re doing. I see people are on one stop.”

Santi: “Plan B. We are on Plan B.”

Hamilton: “I know we’re on Plan B – what are other people doing, man?”

Santi: “Everyone else is one stop.”

Hamilton: “How was everyone’s pace at the end of their run?”

Santi: “It’s high 36. High 36.”

Hamilton: “What’s high 36?”

Santi: “It’s the pace of the other cars. They are doing 36.5, seven, eight.”

Hamilton: “Yeah, they’ve got new tyres. I said: ‘At the end of their stint, how fast were they going?'”

Santi: “Pace will be similar by the end of the race. At the moment, we don’t think you have the [tyre] life.”

Hamilton: “Something’s happened, I don’t know what. Check my tyres.”

Santi: “Understood, we are checking.”

Santi: “Car looks fine.”

Hamilton: “OK.”

Santi: “We are on Plan B. We are getting close, we are getting close. Flap update.”

Hamilton: “Can I not just hold it out?”

Santi: “I’ll get back to you.”

Santi: “And we are six laps short to do Plan C.”

Hamilton: “Can I hold position? Like, if I pit, what do I lose?”

Santi: “We are losing two positions with a delta pace advantage.”

Hamilton: “Well, if we’re already losing two positions, should… shall we wait to see if VSC or something comes out?”

Santi: “We can try.”
