Hamilton Blames Leclerc for Monza Collision: Need for Clear Rules to Prevent Recurrence

At the Italian Grand Prix, Lewis Hamilton has strongly criticized teammate Charles Leclerc for the collision that occurred during the race. The incident, which happened in the battle for position, led to Hamilton going off track and losing several places, while Leclerc also crashed. For Hamilton, the root cause is the lack of clear rules within the team to handle such situations. He argues that the incident should have been prevented with clear norms. "I was ahead in Curva 2. When I got to the apex, I was ahead. There was no 'us' in that. Really there's not much more to say. It was very bad for the team and, obviously, it made us lose many positions." Hamilton also pointed out that he does not race dirty. He has always raced clean and fair, and always given space. Since joining the team, he has tried to respect space and not put the team in a compromised situation. He maintains that posture. Hamilton considered that they have not received clear indications on how to behave on track when both drivers have the opportunity to fight for the podium or victories. "In the end, this comes from above. Decisions are transmitted downwards and they start with Fred (Vasseur). There is a limit to how much you can say, how much you can insist or shout from above." "I already said yesterday that we have to review how we communicate. If we keep following the same path, we will keep getting the same result. And we keep getting the same result. We have to change things because this is not helping us move forward. In the end, it is about establishing confrontation rules." The Monza race was not the first time Hamilton had problems with a teammate on track, although the most remembered ones were those he lived with Nico Rosberg at Mercedes. In this context, the British referred to what happened with the German and pointed out that at that time, with the Silver Arrows, the internal team regulations were clear. "When I was at Mercedes we had written confrontation rules. In fact, we almost never had big problems. Perhaps there was some moment between Nico and me, a couple of times, but most of the time it worked well. Here there are no rules. And I think that's something we have to change," he concluded.
