We have a tow deployed previously at Monza. Could Ferrari ask Lewis Hamilton to come to Charles Leclerc’s aid?
Lewis Hamilton has expressed his willingness to support Charles Leclerc’s efforts at the Italian Grand Prix by sacrificing his own qualifying performance if asked by Ferrari. Despite strong showings in practice, Hamilton faces a five-place grid penalty for not obeying flags in the previous race. This leaves Leclerc as Ferrari’s main hope for securing a competitive qualifying position. One potential strategy could involve Hamilton providing a slipstream for Leclerc during qualifying, a tactic used by Ferrari in the past. Both drivers aim to outperform rivals like Norris and Piastri to secure a strong starting position. Despite their history of supporting each other in qualifying, Hamilton and Leclerc have not recently utilized this specific team strategy.
