Lewis Hamilton stated it is too late for Ferrari to grant him championship priority over team-mate Charles Leclerc following the Italian Grand Prix at Monza. Hamilton started fourth and finished sixth, while Leclerc retired from the race after a high-speed crash at the Parabolica. The two drivers made contact on the opening lap when Leclerc pushed Hamilton off the track, an incident the seven-time world champion described as a failure of team synergy. Hamilton currently trails title leader Antonelli by 76 points and sits 10 points behind George Russell in the standings. Ferrari team principal Frederic Vasseur acknowledged the need for internal discussions regarding team orders as the season progresses. Hamilton emphasized that the current communication path within the team is not producing the desired competitive results.
