Lewis Hamilton says Ferrari has left it "too late" to back him in F1 title fight

Following the Italian Grand Prix at Monza, Lewis Hamilton stated that it is "far too late" for Ferrari to prioritize him over team-mate Charles Leclerc in the Formula 1 championship fight. Hamilton finished a distant sixth in the race after an opening-lap incident in which Leclerc pushed him into the gravel. Leclerc subsequently crashed out of the race after spinning into the Parabolica barrier.

The tension at Monza highlights growing friction within the Ferrari team regarding driver hierarchy during the latter stages of the F1 season. Hamilton's remarks indicate that any potential team orders or strategic prioritization to aid his title ambitions are no longer seen as viable by the driver.
