Ferrari talvez precise priorizar Hamilton em vez de Leclerc, diz Smedley

O ex-engenheiro da Ferrari Rob Smedley sugeriu que a equipe deveria considerar priorizar Lewis Hamilton em vez de Charles Leclerc para disputar o campeonato de pilotos de 2026.

Smedley fez os comentários após o Grande Prêmio da Grã-Bretanha em Silverstone. Leclerc conquistou a vitória lá, marcando seu primeiro triunfo desde 2024 e o 250º sucesso da Ferrari em Grandes Prêmios. A classificação atual mostra os pilotos da Mercedes na liderança. Kimi Antonelli tem 179 pontos, com seu companheiro de equipe George Russell com 154. Hamilton é o terceiro com 147 pontos, enquanto Leclerc ocupa a quarta posição com 108. Falando no podcast High Performance Racing, Smedley disse que ordens de equipe extremas podem ser o único caminho realista da Ferrari para o título. Ele observou que permitir que os pilotos corram livremente reduziria as chances da equipe contra a Mercedes.
