If scooter-chucker, who had the inside line, had simply stayed on track he would probably have won the race. He has no need to blame the guy on the outside for his own running wide.
imho, Ferrari have a choice to make, make Lewis #1 or carry on with Charles thinking that he’s racing go-karts. You don’t attack your team mate if, in doing so, you hurt the team. Build a gap and then go hammer and tongs.If scooter-chucker, who had the inside line, had simply stayed on track he would probably have won the race.

They are the kings of strategy, after all.Ferrari better manage their drivers better because this will eventually end in tears for them.
If you plant your car in the middle of the track and leave space to your right while heading down to Rettifilo, another car is going to fill that space and try and outbrake you whether it's your team mate or not. No space on the exit was on Charles, even if the entry was borderline and alongside.
1. No proper driver would leave the gap regardless.
2. Driver ahead on the outside must be left room by the driver on the inside.
And there is no special FIA rule giving teammates less entitlement to attack one another.
I said this the moment it was announced Sainz lost his seat at Ferrari. My friends ridiculed me for saying that. How the turn tables.Seems some vindication this season for the ol' boy Sainz and issues regularly raised at Ferrari that went ignored.
Could Ferrari well have fired/replaced the wrong bloke afterall.
There’s a difference between racing against each other and racing in a way that compromises each other or the team. Ferrari could've had a 1-2. Charles screwed himself, the team and Lewis's ranking.Monza

There is a pattern of Leclerc attacking his teammates and then being noted for being ''softer'' with drivers from other teams. So much so that it has become a meme within F1 fan circles of Leclerc seeing red (in the literal sense) and attacking while shying away from the other cars.
Vettel also had issues with his driving. The infamous ''Mein gott, mus das sein!'' in Brazil 2019 and the divebomb in Austria 2020 that took both of them out. In Bahrain 2020 they nearly crashed again because of an aggressive move by Leclerc and Vettel went off at the team over the radio about his driving, saying they spoke about giving each other space.
