Hamilton urges Ferrari to review communication after Monza clash
Lewis Hamilton said Ferrari need to change aspects of how the team handles and communicates its internal battle with Charles Leclerc after the Italian Grand Prix. The Monza race included an opening-lap clash between the Ferrari team mates during a difficult home event for the team.
After the Italian Grand Prix at Monza, Lewis Hamilton said Ferrari need to "change things" in the way they manage the competition between him and Charles Leclerc. He also said the team must look at "how we communicate" following the race weekend.
The Ferrari drivers were involved in a clash on the opening lap of their home race. Hamilton was left frustrated on Sunday, and one report said he had gone into the weekend asking for team orders before later changing that position after finishing sixth and after the incident with Leclerc.
Former F1 driver Juan Pablo Montoya said Ferrari's senior management should step in and set clear boundaries for the two drivers. Ferrari's Monza weekend was described as a difficult one, while Mercedes took a 1-2 finish in round 13 of the 2026 championship.
