Former Formula 1 driver Juan Pablo Montoya believes Ferrari’s senior management must step in and establish clear driver boundaries following a difficult Italian Grand Prix that involved a clash between Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc on the opening lap.
The Maranello outfit endured a miserable home race at Monza in round 13 of the 2026 championship, watching Mercedes secure a 1-2 finish led by Kimi Antonelli’s impressive charge from 19th on the grid.
Ferrari’s afternoon unravelled almost immediately when Hamilton dived down the inside of Leclerc into Turn 1 and then went around the outside of Turn 2. While Leclerc held his line, the seven-time champion went into the gravel and dropped down to 10th.
Matters escalated on the second lap when Leclerc, having been defending against McLaren’s Oscar Piastri, ran wide onto the kerb exiting Parabolica. He lost control and crashed into the barriers. Hamilton went on to finish sixth.
