Are stricter Ferrari rules needed after latest Lewis Hamilton-Charles Leclerc clash?

Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton collided on the opening lap in Mexico City, running wide together at Turn 4 as Leclerc attempted an outside move on his teammate for the lead. 

Both cars ran off the circuit, with Leclerc cutting across the grass at Turn 5 to retake first place while Hamilton rejoined the track and lost second to Max Verstappen.

Stewards handed Leclerc a five-second time penalty for leaving the track and gaining a lasting advantage, reduced from ten seconds because Hamilton had also run wide. 

Telemetry later showed Leclerc carried a 15 km/h slipstream advantage into the corner and braked 25 metres later than Hamilton, making it near-impossible for both cars to stay within track limits.

Ferrari team principal Fred Vasseur rejected suggestions that the circuit layout was to blame, instead pointing to overly combative racing between the two drivers and a lack of respect for the team's wider interests.

Three Ferrari intra-team incidents but still Fred Vasseur resists change

This was far from the first sign of friction between the Ferrari duo this season. At the Dutch Grand Prix, tensions surfaced when Hamilton was held up behind Leclerc on a differing strategy, with Leclerc accused of delaying a pit call rather than yielding. 

At Monza, the pair had an on-track confrontation at the first corner on the opening lap that prompted Hamilton to call for clearer driver protocols within the team.

Despite the repeated incidents, Vasseur has continued to resist introducing written rules of engagement, preferring to rely on shared principles and post-race debriefs rather than prescriptive team orders. 

With Mexico marking the third significant flashpoint of the campaign, RacingNews365 wants to know what you think: does Ferrari need to get stricter with Hamilton and Leclerc before another collision costs the team more than just five seconds?
