Lewis Hamilton calls for internal driving rules at Ferrari after Italian Grand Prix
Summary

Lewis Hamilton finished sixth at the Italian Grand Prix on Sunday after a first-lap collision with teammate Charles Leclerc. The contact occurred at the first chicane, forcing Hamilton into the gravel and causing him to lose several positions. Hamilton subsequently criticized the lack of established racing rules between the Ferrari teammates, contrasting the current environment with his time at Mercedes. Leclerc crashed out of the home race a lap later at Parabolica. Hamilton, who now trails championship leader Kimi Antonelli by 76 points, explicitly stated he is out of the 2026 world title hunt. The Ferrari driver has urged the team to formalize engagement protocols for their drivers ahead of the upcoming Spanish Grand Prix in Madrid.
