Italian Grand Prix: Lewis Hamilton says it is 'far too late' to be given priority over Charles Leclerc at Ferrari

Lewis Hamilton said it is “far too late” for Ferrari to prioritize him over Charles Leclerc after the latest tension around intra-team orders. Speaking in the wake of the Italian Grand Prix, Hamilton argued that Ferrari had already lost too many points recently to Mercedes, making late strategy decisions unacceptable. He referenced the Dutch Grand Prix, where he felt the team took too long to move Leclerc aside so he could fight for a podium, and he later apologized for remarks made over team radio. Hamilton also addressed the first-lap incident in Italy, insisting there was no contact and that he was ahead into Turn Two, calling for better team communication.
