Charles Leclerc ‘Livid’ as Ferrari Team Order Controversy Erupts
Tensions are reportedly running high at Scuderia Ferrari as Charles Leclerc is said to be “livid” with team principal Frédéric Vasseur, following the emergence of a controversial team order that favored incoming teammate Lewis Hamilton. According to sources close to the team, an unprecedented instruction was issued during a recent race weekend that appeared to compromise Leclerc’s strategy in favor of ensuring Hamilton gained track position or advantage—despite the Brit not yet being a Ferrari driver.
This development has sparked outrage within the Ferrari garage and among fans, with Leclerc reportedly feeling betrayed by his own team. The Monégasque driver, who has remained loyal to Ferrari through multiple seasons of underperformance, is believed to be furious at what he sees as a lack of respect and trust. Leclerc’s frustration was visible in post-race interviews, where he offered cold, clipped responses and refused to address team tactics directly.
Insiders suggest Vasseur’s decision to prioritize Hamilton’s future integration over his current drivers has created a toxic environment. Many within the paddock are questioning the logic behind such a move, considering Hamilton has not yet even driven for Ferrari. Leclerc, seen as the long-term hope of the Scuderia, is now said to be reconsidering his future with the team.
This internal friction threatens to destabilize Ferrari’s campaign, with critics warning that favoring Hamilton before his arrival could damage team morale and performance. If unresolved, this situation could ignite a full-blown crisis for the legendary Italian team, just as it appeared to be regaining competitive form. As the F1 season intensifies, all eyes will be on how Vasseur manages the growing storm between his star driver and the seven-time world champion set to join the team.
