As Lewis Hamilton put it during the red flag in Mexico City, Ferrari had "big problems" after his contretemps with Charles Leclerc earlier in the race.
Leclerc had attacked Hamilton at Turn 4 on the opening lap, leading to both losing out on an easy one-two as Max Verstappen won, with tensions boiling over following an early clash on the opening lap at the Italian GP at Monza.
After Mexico, Hamilton claimed he was "really pi**ed" at Leclerc's action for losing the one-two, and that the Monegasque held a "do or die" attitude and raced him differently to other drivers.
In Brazil, the pair held clear-the-air talks with Ferrari boss Fred Vasseur, but the truce appears uneasy.
History has shown that two number one drivers in a team rarely work well, but we want to know what decision you think Ferrari should take in declaring an outright number one between the two.
