via f1oversteer.comDavid Coulthard says Lewis Hamilton’s move on Charles Leclerc shows he hasn’t ‘learned from 2021’David Coulthard has expressed his views on Lewis Hamilton's racing tactics during the Italian Grand Prix, where Hamilton attempted an aggressive move on Charles Leclerc. This maneuver backfired, leading to Hamilton losing several positions after going off track, which Coulthard believes reflects a lack of learning from Hamilton's past experiences in similar situations, particularly his 2021 clash with Max Verstappen at the same corner.
After the race, Hamilton defended his actions, arguing that he was entitled to more space at the apex, while Leclerc acknowledged the closeness of their racing. The incident ultimately impacted both drivers' races, with Leclerc crashing out shortly after, and team principal Fred Vasseur remaining neutral on the matter.

via f1oversteer.comNico Rosberg knows Lewis Hamilton’s ‘Hollywood story’ about Ferrari move is ‘complete nonsense’Nico Rosberg has dismissed Lewis Hamilton's narrative about a potential move to Ferrari, asserting that Hamilton had no interest in leaving Mercedes during their successful partnership. Rosberg revealed that Hamilton did have discussions with Ferrari's Stefano Domenicali in the early 2010s but believes that Alonso's influence played a role in preventing the move.

Throughout his 12 years with Mercedes, Hamilton extended his contract five times, indicating his commitment to the team during their dominant years.
