Monza row eases as Hamilton, Leclerc respond

BBC Sport and Autosport reported Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc have moved past their Monza clash, as Ferrari also addressed the fallout.

BBC Sport reported that Lewis Hamilton said he and Ferrari team-mate Charles Leclerc had put their Monza disagreement behind them after the Italian Grand Prix. With the story not confirmed through a primary team statement in the supplied sources, the latest position remains based on those reports.

Autosport reported that Leclerc accepted responsibility for overstepping in the opening-chicane fight with Hamilton, and that the two drivers had since resolved the issue. The same outlet also reported that Ferrari team principal Fred Vasseur spoke to both drivers after Monza about the on-track contact and the comments that followed, while rejecting suggestions of wider problems inside the team.

Hamilton is third in the 2026 drivers' championship on 191 points, with Leclerc fifth on 167. Leclerc’s Formula 1 record stands at 182 entries, nine wins, 24 poles and 53 podiums, while Ferrari has competed across 77 seasons and won 16 constructors’ titles.
