Where do you stand on the first-corner battle between the two Ferraris at Monza?

Leclerc was at fault. Ferrari should have clear rules of engagement for their drivers.

Charles knew it was his team mate - he had a responsibility to ensure that there was enough room... He's a good driver & comes across as a fair one but that was not the action of a team player

Hamilton went for a gap that simply wasn't wide enough for 2 cars

Leclerc was in the wrong. He needs to start taking a lead in team playing instead of trying to beat lewis hamilton. He has cost Ferrari valuable points.

I'm a Lewis fan, have been for years. He cannot expect a driver as good as LeClerc to clear a path for him. The red Sea only parted for Moses. I followed Lewis before he even entered F1 and as a father of mixed race kids held him up as a beacon to what can be achieved. Unfortunately he is coming across as feeling a little bit entitled at the moment.

When max nose dive into a corn he’s brilliant. Lewis does it he criticised.

Leberk was too aggressive. Ham wanted to attack the front. Heck if leberk was fast he could've attacked ham down the straight. By forcing him off. Ham had to waste soft tires getting back through the field. Too add insult to injury. they never pitted ham for new tires under vsc

Hamilton divebombed. Leclerc responded. He shouldn't be frustrated when somebody race against him. Especially a Leclerc at Monza. He got that medicine from Leclerc way back in 2019 itself against his Lewis's rocketship. Why would he expect anything less today.

Hamilton made a great move and there was enough room. LeClerc f…d up.

cbglavey3w ago

LeClerc didn't leave enough room on the corner for Lewis

You all can say what you like. One move was legal, and one was not. Asking that your teammate to not be the only person to run someone off at turn 2 (especially since you're his teammate) shouldn't be a big deal. People defending this are part time fans or emotional ones

Since none of us were in Hamilton's car with him, it is impossible to know what he could have done differently. But Leclerc did have room on the inside. so why did he go so wide? Other pairs of cars in the same two turns made it safely. That was far too early in the race to be playing games with your team mate. Ferrari has the data we cannot see.

Where was Hamilton trying to go? He took out Russell a few races back and tried the same trick on Verstapen anticipate Hamilton's move and avoided getting hit.. I don't see what makes Hamilton so special just because he's a few points ahead of Leclerc. Carlos Sainz was faster then Leclerc when allowed to race.

Racing incident. Too much moaning. Shamilton only good in the fastest car, now he's not and feeling what it's like to be pushed around. Race hard or go home.

rick.hemphill3w ago

Leclerc definitely could have given Hamilton more space on the first corner. He shut the door on his teammate on purpose, forcing him into the gravel. He knew what he was doing, and his actions hurt both Hamilton's chances and the team's race results!

matth3w ago

They've been close for a while. I'm happy to call the move itself as racing incident. Watching the footage back and the analysis I wouldn't say Leclerc caused it. They were taking different lines and at that speed and proximity, goes with the territory I think. Generally I have low confidence in Leclerc to pull off moves of a champ.

seanfisher3w ago

Im surprised by the poll tbh… the minute Hamilton sent it down the inside I knew Leclerc was gonna give it right back in the next corner

jamesshearman233w ago

It was risky from Hamilton but he did really well to make it stick. Should’ve been a slam dunk penalty for Leclerc

skshaggis3w ago

LeClerc should be penalised for not giving enough room, to Hamilton. It wasn't "just a racing incident".

thatfan3w ago

Suspect Hamilton wouldn't have pulled it off anyway

nedand4w ago

No team play was there? Not good.

tyler.rowlinson4w ago

I don’t think Lewis would have made the move stick, but Leclerc clearly didn’t give him enough space. It’s more his fault than Hamilton’s

deathshood14w ago

That's was typical leclere especially as he pulled the same move at the Dutch grand prix. Where he thought it's acceptable to bang wheels and very nearly ended Lewis race

aaditya.krishnamurthy4w ago

It’s one of those where I can see both sides. Leclerc did what he had to and squeezed Hamilton out, don’t think he intended for Hamilton to be forced as wide as he did but I also get why Lewis is frustrated.

david.comerford4w ago

I think it was completely fair for Hamilton try it down the inside, but equally, Leclerc was never going to let him go the long way around. A moment like this had been coming for a few races
