Vasseur says Ferrari team-mate incident was damaging at Monza
Ferrari’s home race at Monza brought added pressure and a disappointing outcome for the team. Fred Vasseur said the opening-lap incident between Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton was not good for Ferrari.
Ferrari went into its home Formula 1 race at Monza under added pressure, but the weekend did not come together for the team. Reports described the Italian Grand Prix as a disappointing event for the Scuderia.
On the opening lap, Charles Leclerc defended aggressively against team-mate Lewis Hamilton after both Ferrari drivers started from the second row of the grid. Hamilton had attempted to pass Leclerc, and team boss Fred Vasseur later said the incident was “not good for the team”.
The coverage also raised broader questions about Ferrari’s performance at Monza and whether the team was undermining its own position. At its home race, Ferrari never really got going.
