Lewis Hamilton disregarded Ferrari pit calls during the Sao Paulo GP. The driver said he overrode the team strategy due to a deficit of information as rain fell on the track.
Team principal Fred Vasseur connected the resulting tyre struggles to bad track positioning. He noted that drivers are out of it if they are away from the right spot. The Telegraph reported that Hamilton's move to ignore the team suggests a decline in confidence in Ferrari's strategic calls.
