The internal tension within the Ferrari garage has become a major talking point in the Formula 1 paddock. Former team figure Peter Windsor has offered a scathing assessment regarding the relationship between Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton, which appears to have reached a boiling point. In his latest commentary, Windsor dismissed Hamilton’s recent complaints about his teammate's driving style as disconnected from reality.
Windsor argued that Hamilton is fundamentally mistaken in believing that Leclerc races him with more aggression than he does other competitors. According to the veteran journalist, Leclerc’s reputation as a fierce and uncompromising racer has been common knowledge throughout the pit lane for years. He suggested that Hamilton should have been fully aware of his teammate’s aggressive nature before joining the Italian squad.
"I believe Hamilton is clearly wrong when he says Charles is tougher with him than with others. Just look at what he did with Lawson in Brazil, for example. Leclerc has always been an unconventional driver and he always will be. Everyone knew it, except apparently Lewis Hamilton. When he signed for Ferrari, did he believe that Leclerc would drive like him without ever doing anything unsporting?" Windsor stated during a podcast appearance.
Furthermore, Windsor questioned the timing of Hamilton’s public accusations against his teammate. He insisted that such concerns should have been raised immediately after signing the contract if they were truly an issue, rather than airing them now. Windsor described the current rhetoric as "absolutely ridiculous," noting that it serves no purpose given the established characteristics of the Ferrari driver lineup.
The criticism also extended to team principal Frederic Vasseur. Windsor pointed to a failure in team management, specifically regarding their inability to anticipate and mitigate potential friction following the race in Mexico. He believes Ferrari is struggling to manage internal damage control, rendering Hamilton’s recent comments counterproductive to the team's overall goals this season.
