Hamilton repeatedly urged Ferrari to let him past Leclerc after “hold position” order | Formula 1

Lewis Hamilton repeatedly lobbied Ferrari to let him overtake his team mate Charles Leclerc after the pair made their first pit stops. Hamilton started on the medium tyre compound but did not have strong pace on them and made an early pit stop to switch to the softs. Leclerc started on softs and switched to mediums, and left the pits immediately in front of his team mate. Ferrari did not want the two drivers to lose time racing each other and told Hamilton to “hold position” behind his team mate.
