Lewis Hamilton Rues 'Too Late' for Ferrari Team Orders After Charles Leclerc Clash
Lewis Hamilton finished sixth at Ferrari's home race in Monza after dropping down the order following an opening-lap tangle with teammate Charles Leclerc, who crashed out a lap later.
Hamilton expressed frustration with Ferrari's communication and strategy, stating the team must change processes to avoid repeating poor results and move forward.
Leclerc described the crash as "way too close into turn one," and when Ferrari eventually pitted him, Hamilton responded over team radio: "Great way of wasting time, good job."
Hamilton compared the team order debate to Oscar Piastri's role at McLaren, arguing "it was too early to make a decision before Monza" regarding strategic priorities.
Mercedes' Kimi Antonelli extended his championship lead to 76 points after winning from 19th on the grid, with the Spanish Grand Prix at a brand-new Madrid street circuit next week.
