Ferrari need rules of engagement? F1 Q&A

Ferrari’s internal fight came to a head after Lewis Hamilton said “serious talks” are needed with Charles Leclerc following their opening-lap clash at the Mexico City Grand Prix. Max Verstappen won, Hamilton finished second and Mercedes’ Kimi Antonelli became F1’s youngest world champion by taking third. Hamilton argued Ferrari likely would have delivered a one-two if Leclerc and Hamilton had cooperated on Lap 1, while Leclerc countered that it “takes two,” adding both drivers made mistakes and neither incident involved contact. Team boss Frederic Vasseur admitted frustration, with questions now raised about whether Ferrari needs clear “rules of engagement” between equal-status drivers.
