Juan Pablo Montoya predicts tension for Ferrari teammates at Italian Grand Prix

Former Formula 1 driver Juan Pablo Montoya expects significant internal friction between Ferrari teammates Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc at the upcoming Italian Grand Prix. With Ferrari racing at its home circuit, Montoya suggests the prestige of a win at Monza will intensify competition between the two drivers. The team faces increased scrutiny after avoiding team orders during the recent Dutch Grand Prix, an event that drew public frustration from Hamilton. While Hamilton has since taken responsibility for his comments, Montoya describes the statement as a calculated move to navigate team dynamics. Ferrari enters the weekend with a revised livery honoring Michael Schumacher and sits in a position to challenge leaders Lando Norris and George Russell. Current standings show Hamilton level with George Russell for second place and 59 points behind Kimi Antonelli, while Leclerc occupies fifth position.
