James Hinchcliffe said Fred Vasseur is under heavy pressure to define clear rules, while Hamilton said he is not seeking preferential treatment and played down any clash with Leclerc.
Former IndyCar driver and F1 TV pundit James Hinchcliffe said Ferrari team principal Fred Vasseur is under a tremendous amount of pressure to set clear rules of engagement between Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc. The scrutiny follows a couple of difficult races for Ferrari.
Separate reports said Hamilton moved to clarify that he is not asking for priority treatment at Ferrari. He also downplayed any tension with Leclerc, saying situations like this have happened before and describing it as nothing unusual.
