Charles Leclerc Livid as Ferrari Team Order Favors Hamilton — “Vasseur Has Made It Worse”
Tensions are boiling over at Scuderia Ferrari as internal turmoil threatens to derail the team’s 2025 campaign. Reports have emerged that Charles Leclerc is “livid” with team principal Frédéric Vasseur following an unprecedented team order allegedly issued in favor of new teammate Lewis Hamilton—and the fallout is already being felt across the paddock.
According to insiders, the controversial directive came during last weekend’s race strategy debrief, where Vasseur reportedly instructed Leclerc to hold position and allow Hamilton to pursue an aggressive undercut strategy. The decision, which effectively compromised Leclerc’s race, left the Monegasque fuming behind closed doors.
Sources close to the team claim Leclerc confronted Vasseur immediately after the race, accusing him of “undermining team unity” and warning that such favoritism would only “fracture trust.” In a heated exchange, Leclerc reportedly told colleagues that Vasseur “hasn’t just lost the garage—he’s made it worse.”
Fans and pundits alike are stunned by the speed at which Ferrari’s dream pairing has soured. The atmosphere in Maranello is now described as “toxic,” with factions forming around the two high-profile drivers. While Hamilton has remained publicly silent on the issue, his camp insists that he simply followed team instructions and is not responsible for the internal divide.
Vasseur, who played a key role in bringing Hamilton to Ferrari, is now facing backlash not just from fans, but from within his own team. What was meant to be a new golden era for Ferrari may now be teetering on the edge of internal collapse.
With the next race looming, all eyes are on the Scuderia to see whether Vasseur can regain control—or whether the storm will deepen even further.
