Should Ferrari name a clear F1 number one driver?

Source: RacingNews365 · · added 51 minutes ago

Ferrari's Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc have been at odds since the Mexico City Grand Prix, when a clash on the opening lap cost both drivers a likely one-two behind Max Verstappen. Hamilton said he was angry at Leclerc's action and described the Monegasque's approach as a "do or die" attitude that differed from other drivers. Tensions had already surfaced after an early clash at the Italian Grand Prix at Monza.

Following the Mexico City race, the pair held clear-the-air talks with Ferrari team principal Fred Vasseur in Brazil, but the truce appears uneasy. The report notes that history has shown two number one drivers in a team rarely work well.

The piece asks readers whether Ferrari should declare an outright number one between the two drivers, with a poll and comments invited.
