Lewis Hamilton says there are still no written rules of engagement between him and Charles Leclerc at Ferrari, despite a clash between the teammates at the Italian Grand Prix in Monza. Hamilton says Leclerc forced him wide at Turn Two on the opening lap, and Hamilton considered the incident unacceptable. He adds that the drivers have since spoken directly to clear the air.
Both drivers describe the follow-up as frank and face-to-face. Leclerc acknowledges he accepts responsibility for the Monza incident, while Hamilton says their discussion is productive and has addressed the immediate tension. Hamilton also contrasts the current situation at Ferrari with his earlier experience at Mercedes, where he says rules had been written down.
Across the coverage, the key common point is that the conflict is being treated as resolved at a personal level, but not formalized through any written team agreement. Both outlets report that the drivers stress continued understanding between them, while acknowledging that Ferrari has not introduced codified “rules of engagement.”
