Ferrari warned against decision that will 'alienate' drivers
Ferrari has been cautioned about the potential consequences of introducing team orders, which could alienate one of their drivers. This concern arose following the Italian Grand Prix, where Lewis Hamilton was affected by an incident involving Charles Leclerc, leading him to question Ferrari's approach to driver engagement.
Former driver Jolyon Palmer highlighted that if Ferrari aims to compete for the championship, they must carefully manage team dynamics. He noted that while Hamilton could have gained more points under optimal conditions, the current situation puts Ferrari in a difficult position regarding team orders, as they risk upsetting either Hamilton or Leclerc.
