Leclerc has finally broken his silence and revealed a shocking truth about the Miami Grand Prix. After a race that once again saw Ferrari struggle with strategy and performance management, the Monegasque driver made some statements that are making waves. In a direct and decisive message, Leclerc blamed Lewis Hamilton for the Scuderia’s failure during the race, an accusation that caused a stir among fans and industry experts alike.

The Miami GP was another difficult weekend for Ferrari, which saw its ambitions of victory evaporate under the weight of strategic errors and on-track behavior that did the team no credit. Although Leclerc and Sainz showed good pace in the early stages, tire management and pit stop timing compromised the final result. But what left everyone speechless was Leclerc’s statement, in which he pointed the finger at Hamilton, accusing him of directly contributing to Ferrari’s defeat.

Visibly frustrated, Leclerc said Hamilton’s crash during the safety car period had a devastating impact on Ferrari’s performance. “I can’t deny that Hamilton’s behavior played a major role in our failure,” Leclerc said. “During the crucial phase of the race, Hamilton’s maneuver forced us to react and lose positions and time. It was a strategic error that we should never have made.”

These words immediately provoked mixed reactions. Ferrari fans were divided between those who supported Leclerc and those who, on the contrary, believed that the fault should lie with the team itself and not with the rival driver. The incident with Hamilton was a crucial moment in the race, but it was not the only factor that influenced the final result. Leclerc later pointed out that Ferrari could have done much more to better manage the situation, but Hamilton’s behavior made it even more difficult to regain the lost position.

“There are times when everything seems to go wrong, and it doesn’t matter how hard you try to recover,” Leclerc continued. “In our case, it was a combination of mistakes and adverse circumstances, but I can’t ignore the fact that Hamilton had a direct impact on our result. Every move on track counts, and Hamilton’s was decisive for our race.”
Leclerc’s accusation has sparked heated debate, not only among Ferrari fans but also among insiders. Some believe Leclerc is looking for a scapegoat to justify a performance that many believe was compromised more by internal Ferrari errors than external factors. Others, however, argue that Hamilton, while not acting in bad faith, nevertheless had a decisive influence on the race, forcing Ferrari to quickly change its strategy.
Despite the controversy, the Ferrari team tried to focus on the positives of the race, emphasizing that there was still much to improve and that the team was determined to resolve the issues encountered during the Miami weekend. However, the shadow of defeat is still clearly visible, and the meeting with Hamilton has sparked renewed discussions about Ferrari’s strategic approach, which faces increasingly difficult challenges as the championship progresses.
The rivalry between Leclerc and Hamilton has always been intense, and this new accusation has only added another layer of complexity to the competition between the two drivers. While Hamilton has avoided directly commenting on Leclerc’s remarks, many expect his on-track actions in upcoming Grands Prix to be closely scrutinized. The competition between Ferrari and Mercedes remains one of the most fascinating and unpredictable, and every strategic move can mean the difference between victory and defeat.
Regardless, the Miami GP incident once again highlighted how thin the line between success and failure is in Formula 1. While Leclerc pointed the finger at Hamilton, it’s clear that Ferrari will have to address its own internal weaknesses if it wants to return to the fight for victory. Time will tell if the Maranello team can learn from this defeat and improve in future races.
Leclerc, for his part, promised to continue fighting for the team, but also stressed that Ferrari will have to find a way to better manage the pressures and challenges that each race brings. If Ferrari wants to remain competitive, it will have to tackle these issues with greater determination and precision, otherwise it risks falling behind its more aggressive rivals.
