Nico Rosberg has articulated the reasons why Ferrari cannot support Lewis Hamilton over Charles Leclerc in the ongoing 2026 Formula 1 title race. Despite Hamilton's status as a seven-time world champion, he finds himself significantly behind the current leader, Andrea Kimi Antonelli, after a disappointing performance at the Italian Grand Prix where both he and Leclerc faced challenges. Rosberg emphasized that Leclerc remains a strong contender for the championship, complicating any potential team orders in favor of Hamilton. Ferrari's team principal, Fred Vasseur, echoed Rosberg's sentiments, asserting that it is premature for the team to make a decision to back one driver exclusively. He referenced a previous season's situation with McLaren to illustrate the risks of making early decisions in a competitive environment. As the season progresses, Vasseur indicated that discussions regarding driver support would take place, but for now, both drivers must be given equal opportunities.
