Lewis Hamilton criticizes Ferrari team management after Italian Grand Prix

Lewis Hamilton publicly criticized Ferrari management following the Italian Grand Prix, citing a lack of structure and internal confusion regarding driver racing rules. The seven-time world champion pointed to on-track incidents with teammate Charles Leclerc as evidence of deep-seated organizational failures within the team. Hamilton noted that his previous experience at Mercedes relied on clear, pre-agreed protocols between drivers, which he asserts are absent at Ferrari. Team principal Frédéric Vasseur has maintained a position that formal team orders or a designated number one driver status are not currently necessary. With reports of continued tension, analysts suggest Ferrari may be forced to abandon its egalitarian approach if the team continues to lose points due to internal racing conflicts.
