I can kind of understand, Seb has had it pretty easy at Ferrari no real challenge and Kimi would roll over anytime he did look like a challenge so Seb is used to be no1 priority everything is for him, Charles has arrived and is probably doing better than many expected and he is not a Kimi and is hungry for success and as such is not going to be a no2 to Seb, where do Ferrari go with this?
Are we going down a horrible route similar to Lewis v Nico, Seb v Webber etc etc
I will never get tired to say this, but issues like this stem from upper team management.
All I am saying is that when you have Mattia saying that he needs to clarify things further during meetings, or , simply just after one week a repetition of what happened in Singapore (or should I say escalation?) , team really needs to take things into their own hands.
No driver is over the team. Drivers really don't need to agree with what the pitwall demands. They just need to do as instructed.
IMHO, it's not about "leaving them race", it's about handing it to them if they cannot understand that they race for the Scuderia.
