FRED VASSEUR: LEWIS HAMILTON AND CHARLES LECLERC “LEFT MY ROOM JOKING TOGETHER”

Ferrari put Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc in a room together before Brazil, and Fred Vasseur says they walked out laughing. The sit-down came after Mexico raised questions about whether the Scuderia could manage two marquee drivers without combusting. "They left my room joking together," Vasseur confirmed.

The rain-soaked São Paulo weekend passed without radio friction or position-swap disputes. Vasseur called it a "good reset on the mindset" but hedged on whether the peace lasts: "I hope things will stay like this."

For Hamilton, who bet his final years on Ferrari delivering a title, internal warfare was never the plan. The seven-time champion needs Leclerc as an ally, not an obstacle, if 2025 is going to be anything more than a retirement tour. Mexico showed the flashpoint risk. Brazil showed the fix worked — for one weekend. Three races left to test whether the truce holds when it counts.
