Ferrari reviews driver conduct following internal tensions between Leclerc and Hamilton
Summary

Ferrari team principal Frédéric Vasseur is expected to hold further discussions with Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc following recent on-track tensions at Monza. Despite both drivers being established competitors with secure contracts, their recent interactions have prompted internal concern regarding team objectives. Unlike past rivalries in Formula 1 history, the current dispute occurs without a world championship title on the line for the team. Hamilton currently leads Leclerc in the championship standings, marking a shift in momentum compared to the previous season. Ferrari aims to prioritize collective team interests as the pair continues to compete for position on the grid. Vasseur previously met with the drivers before the race to emphasize that individual ambitions must remain secondary to team goals.
