Verstappen says Ferrari should not have two No 1 drivers

Max Verstappen has said that a team should not run two No 1 drivers, arguing that it leads to incidents such as the one between Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc at the Mexico City Grand Prix. He said that without a clear hierarchy, both drivers push for the win and neither yields, and that a clear No 1 and No 2 would still allow the team to score strong points.

Hamilton has said that he and Leclerc have settled their differences after talks with Fred Vasseur in Brazil and that there is no tension within the team. He said both drivers still respect one another and are focused on supporting the team.

Vasseur has said Ferrari's racing guidelines remain unchanged, with the drivers expected to respect each other, the team and the brand.
