Overview
- The two Ferrari drivers collided at the Rettifilo chicane on the first lap at Monza when Leclerc pushed Hamilton onto the gravel and then crashed out of the race.
- Leclerc reviewed footage, publicly accepted responsibility for being too aggressive in Turn 2, and told Hamilton so during private, open conversations.
- Hamilton and Leclerc met one-on-one and described the discussion as honest and successful, saying their working relationship is intact and the matter is now closed.
- Hamilton has urged written 'rules of engagement' to prevent future team collisions but confirmed no formal policy has been adopted and Ferrari says any procedural or cultural change will be gradual.
- Ferrari’s poor Monza weekend widened the championship gap to Kimi Antonelli and underlined that fixing race execution and team processes is now as urgent as resolving driver tensions.
