Ferrari under fire from a former driver: “Leclerc and Hamilton should be reprimanded by Vasseur”. A former F1 driver criticizes the attitude of Leclerc and Hamilton.

Not only Lewis Hamilton, but also Charles Leclerc was critical via radio during the Australian GP: a former F1 driver is calling for action from Ferrari and Frédéric Vasseur. The attitude of the two Ferrari drivers does not seem to have gone unnoticed. While many observers are pointing fingers at the team and the track engineers, some have deemed their responses overly “annoyed.”

In a motorsport world that resists the FIA’s impositions on foul language, there is an opposing voice calling for more self-control. This time, it is not about swearing or using language inappropriate for children: what Ralf Schumacher is asking for, in the German Sky Sport podcast, is more respect for the team.

A criticism directed at Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc, both fired up in Melbourne. The two Ferrari drivers are accused of communicating via radio in a fit of excessive anger. According to the former driver and now respected pundit, Frédéric Vasseur himself should give them a lesson.

Ralf Schumacher calls on Fred Vasseur: “He should reprimand his drivers”
While the media focused solely on the relationship between Riccardo Adami and Lewis Hamilton, Ralf Schumacher also puts Bryan Bozzi and Charles Leclerc under the magnifying glass.

“It was the same for both. Not only Lewis Hamilton, but also Charles Leclerc got angry over the radio. If I were the team principal right now, I would call them both into my office and give them a rap on the knuckles because this is not acceptable. At the end of the day, the whole team is out there, doing nothing but trying to help the two drivers.” – he pointed out.

“It’s really not the time to be angry with the team. They could have said, apologetically, that it wasn’t a good moment to talk to them on the radio.”
