FERRARI’S RACING GUIDELINES “STILL THE SAME” AFTER MEXICAN GP TALKS – VASSEUR

Ferrari blew a one-two start in Mexico when Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton tangled on lap one, handing Max Verstappen the win. Team principal Frederic Vasseur called a meeting afterward but stopped short of imposing new rules. "The guidelines are still the same," he said. The drivers still have to respect each other and put the Scuderia first — just louder this time.

Hamilton blamed Leclerc for racing him too hard when they should have been managing a Ferrari procession. Vasseur admitted the team "failed collectively" but pointed to accumulated frustration from the two starting side-by-side weekend after weekend. The directive remains unchanged: respect each other, respect the brand, don't throw away wins the factory earned.

Whether that's enough depends on how badly either driver wants to beat his teammate versus beat Red Bull. Brazil will be the first test of whether a reminder carries the same weight as an actual rule.
