Hamilton blames Ferrari's Vasseur after Monza clash all but ends title hopes

Lewis Hamilton finished sixth at the Italian Grand Prix on 6 September 2026, then publicly blamed Ferrari team principal Fred Vasseur for a lap-one clash with teammate Charles Leclerc. "It starts with Fred," Hamilton said. He trailed championship leader Kimi Antonelli by 76 points with ten races left. Vasseur said Ferrari would now consider prioritising Hamilton.
