Should Ferrari prioritise Lewis Hamilton in title fight?

As the summer break approaches, Ferrari faces a strategic decision regarding team orders, particularly concerning Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc. Hamilton currently ranks second in the drivers' championship, 31 points ahead of Leclerc, who is in fourth place. Despite Hamilton's stronger performance this season, leading to questions about prioritizing him, Leclerc remains a competitive driver with a victory and multiple podiums to his name.

Ferrari team principal Fred Vasseur has previously stated that he prefers not to impose team orders too early in the season, believing it could affect team morale. However, with Hamilton trailing the championship leader by 50 points and only 11 races left, the team must consider whether allowing both drivers to race freely could jeopardize their chances of securing crucial points in the title fight.
