James Vowles disagrees with Fred Vasseur on issue that’s annoyed Lewis Hamilton at Ferrari

Lewis Hamilton recently voiced his concerns about the absence of clear rules of engagement at Ferrari, particularly after a racing incident with teammate Charles Leclerc at Monza. Hamilton's attempt to overtake Leclerc resulted in him being forced into the gravel, costing him six positions, which prompted his comments about the need for structured guidelines similar to those he experienced at Mercedes.

In response to Hamilton's remarks, James Vowles, former chief strategist at Mercedes, supported Hamilton's view, stating that there were indeed written rules of engagement in place at Mercedes. However, Ferrari team principal Fred Vasseur countered this by asserting that such explicit rules are not necessary, as both drivers should inherently understand the expectations during races.
