Ferrari is at the center of a new attack from England, following Peter Windsor’s comments on the YouTube channel Cameron Cc regarding the relationship between Charles Leclerc and his teammate, Lewis Hamilton. The British commentator revisited the tensions that have emerged between the two, especially after what happened in Mexico, going so far as to pass a very harsh judgment on Leclerc but also criticizing Hamilton himself for failing to assess the situation before signing with the Maranello team.

Returning to Hamilton’s comments on the sidelines of the Brazilian Grand Prix, when the Brit claimed that Leclerc attacks him more fiercely than any other driver on the grid, Windsor remarked: “Lewis is wrong when he says that Charles attacks him more than anyone else, because in Mexico he didn’t really try to hit him. Look instead at what he did to Liam Lawson in Brazil—that’s a prime example.”

Windsor then launched a harsh attack on Leclerc: “Charles has always been an unsportsmanlike driver and always will be. Everyone knows that, except Lewis Hamilton when he was about to sign a new contract with Ferrari. Then there are other internal issues at play, but he should have clarified everything before signing: he should have said, ‘Okay, there won’t be a number one and number two driver, but Charles will always have to stay at least one meter away from me.’”

For Windsor, it’s now too late to fix things: “It would have made more sense to voice his complaints back then; instead, he’s complaining now. What’s the point of all this? Everyone knew what Charles was like—even Lewis should have known.” The debate over the internal rivalry at Ferrari, therefore, shows no signs of dying down. After what happened in Mexico—the near-collision on the first lap—and in Brazil—with Hamilton’s controversial strategic choice and the Leclerc-Lawson collision—the controversy seems far from over.
