On the other side, Hamilton naturally saw this scene as well. He had just been laughing and chatting with his engineer, Peter Bonington.
After all, he had won three consecutive Grand Prix races. Coupled with the fact that he was driving quite smoothly at this stop and felt very confident about securing the victory, he could naturally converse with relaxed ease.
"Who exactly started that rumor?" Like Tony, Peter was also deeply puzzled by this.
As a veteran engineer, he knew that any news coming out of the paddock had a source. Especially when it was a leak directly from within the team, even if it wasn't entirely true, it held at least some shred of authenticity.
"What's the point of caring about that? This year's car is powerful enough. We might as well think about the upcoming races," Hamilton replied.
