Formula 1 @F1Two wins, three fastest laps, 71 points 🤯🏆 It's been a near-perfect start for @Charles_Leclerc 👀 #F1
La Gazzetta Ferrari @GazzettaFerrari🚨 | BREAKING! Lewis Hamilton reportedly believes his lead over Charles Leclerc in the standings justifies greater priority in Ferrari’s team decisions. However, Ferrari remains committed to treating both drivers equally, with no changes to the hierarchy or rules of engagement following their meeting. 📰 @Auto_Racer_it
lec♡︎ @leclercsstreetCharles talking about the discussion held with Lewis and Fred: “I think it was really good to just discuss everything together. Obviously, for me, it's been a bit of a crazy week, but in a positive way because I became a father for the first time. “So we didn't necessarily have time to discuss things. I think talking things through helps resolve whatever issues or frustrations remain, and that was needed. “Now I feel it's fully settled, and I don't think we should be speaking about it too much going forward.
CL16 inside 🇲🇨 @CL16_insideCharles about last week : « I mean, obviously, there's been a lot of things, probably too much things in the last week. We've spoken. I think everything is settled and I'm looking forward for the rest of the weekend now. » The FP2 was very tricky. Actually, one of the worst feeling I've had this year in the car, so there's plenty to work on, I've got some ideas, we'll change the car, I think, quite significantly, and we'll see how it goes. I hope we can do a step forward, because even though I missed FP1, I don't think there was much performance in that. » #F1 #BrazilGP 🇧🇷

CL16 inside 🇲🇨 @CL16_inside🔴 The meeting between Charles, Fred and Lewis lasted more than an hour. The team principal reiterated that the brand is bigger than both of them. No further battles will be tolerated if they put the team’s result at risk. Ferrari was not happy with Lewis’ constant controversy. Words (from LH) that came after his heated reaction immediately after the race and his social media post ("We have to be honest"), which Leclerc somehow accepted more readily than Ferrari did. The team was irritated by the tone, but above all by Lewis's insistence. Vasseur repeated the same message to both of them: Ferrari is bigger than any driver. What happened in Mexico (and, we would add, all the controversy that followed) was an enormous lack of respect towards everyone working in Maranello. And towards the sponsors, which is no minor detail. Will this be enough to restore peace? We have our doubts. Hamilton, spotted in the paddock this morning, did not look particularly convinced by the outcome of the meeting. After all, his demands, to be recognised as the team's leader and, consequently, the number 1 driver, are unlikely to be heard. This is also due to contractual reasons, as Vasseur himself explained after Monza: "We chose to have two equal drivers," the team principal said back in September. "It's written into their contracts. Lewis has known that ever since he signed." #F1
La Gazzetta Ferrari @GazzettaFerrari🚨 | Fred Vasseur on what his meeting with Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc was about: “The guidelines remain the same. The drivers must respect each other and, above all, the team and its employees.” 📰 @ErikvHaren
Damon Hill @HillF1Here is where I stand on the Lewis v Charles debate, and I made this point in my commentary on @5liveSport on Sunday in Mexico; make Lewis #1 Ferrari driver. Sort it out. Make it clear. Ends all debate. Lewis will deliver for Ferrari. If they back him 100%

CL16 inside 🇲🇨 @CL16_insideDo you feel like Leclerc fights harder against you than he does against the other drivers? Lewis: « Yes. You can see what you can see. In Singapore, he was all the way on the inside at the start. He could have taken the lead there and won the race, but he backed out. That’s definitely different. But if you look at his previous teammates, the same applied to Sebastian and Carlos. » #F1 #BrazilGP 🇧🇷
sim @simscircuit🚨| Lewis Hamilton: "I was frustrated, I'm still frustrated. Conversations need to be had. So we will have those when the time permits. Fred's been back in Europe at the team. Obviously, Charles is working with his family. We had an opportunity to win for the team. The team have done such an amazing job in bringing upgrades this year. They've been working flat out all year long to try and bridge the gap given the power that we have." "I think they've done an incredible job. We've made lots of changes in how we deliver on our weekend. You've really seen us taking some leaps and bounds, and we've scored more points than any other team in the last three races, three or four. We could have easily had a one-two. So we definitely have to work towards making sure that doesn't happen again." F1 2026 | Brazil | Photo by Bradley Collyer
