šŸ”“ F1 NEWS: Leclerc’s ā€˜I Don’t Care’ Moment Sparks Controversy Amid Ferrari’s Pit Confusion — Did He Just Ignore Hamilton’s Strategy?

Drama erupted at the Monaco Grand Prix as Charles Leclerc stunned fans and team personnel alike with a fiery radio message that’s now dominating headlines. In the midst of a tense and chaotic pit window, the Ferrari driver responded to a strategy call with a blunt, ā€œI don’t care,ā€ igniting questions about whether he deliberately dismissed a plan designed to support teammate Lewis Hamilton’s race.

The incident occurred during a crucial phase of the race, as both Ferrari drivers were managing tire strategy and track position. Team radio captured Leclerc’s terse response after being asked to adjust his pace—believed to be part of a coordinated effort to help Hamilton undercut rivals ahead.

Instead of complying, Leclerc held firm on track, running his own race and refusing to compromise. The defiant message instantly sparked debate: was it an impulsive outburst born from confusion—or a calculated rejection of team orders?

Insiders suggest that Leclerc felt blindsided by Ferrari’s shifting priorities, believing he was once again being sacrificed for a teammate. Tensions have reportedly been simmering since Hamilton joined the team, with Leclerc determined not to be cast in a supporting role on his home turf.

The move left Ferrari’s pit wall scrambling and Hamilton stuck in traffic, ultimately derailing what could have been a strategic advantage. While no official reprimand has been issued, sources say the atmosphere in the post-race debrief was ā€œfrosty at best.ā€

Fans are divided—some praise Leclerc’s assertiveness, others call it selfish. Either way, the message is clear: harmony at Ferrari is starting to fracture.

With more races ahead and egos in play, this won’t be the last controversial moment from the Scuderia this season.

Stay tuned—the Ferrari civil war might just be getting started.
