Internal tensions within the Scuderia Ferrari camp have intensified following a series of aggressive on-track clashes between Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc. Earlier in the campaign, during clean wheel-to-wheel battles at rounds like the Chinese Grand Prix, both drivers proved they could race without drama. However, as the championship progressed, their intra-team duels turned increasingly combative and costly.
The boiling point was reached at the recent Mexico City Grand Prix, where the fierce battle between the teammates handed rival Max Verstappen a golden opportunity to secure race victory. Team Principal Fred Vasseur did not hide his fury, openly criticizing a lack of respect toward the collective team effort. Although Vasseur vowed to address the situation behind closed doors, lingering friction spilled over into the paddock at Interlagos ahead of the Brazilian Grand Prix weekend.
Weighing in on the escalating feud, 1996 Formula One World Champion Damon Hill believes he has found the definitive solution to restore order within the Maranello squad. Speaking on his stance regarding the internal rivalry, Hill made it clear that decisive managerial action is now non-negotiable.
"That is my position in the debate regarding Lewis and Charles, and I expressed that exact stance on Sunday in Mexico during my commentary: make Lewis the number-one driver at Ferrari," Hill declared. The Briton emphasized that establishing a strict hierarchy is the only way to eliminate destructive intra-team squabbles.
"Get it sorted out. Make it clear. That ends the debate," Hill concluded, asserting that the seasoned world champion will consistently deliver results if backed entirely by the team. Read our in-depth analysis to stay updated on the latest paddock developments.
