What happened
Former Formula 1 driver Riccardo Patrese has offered Ferrari a clear piece of advice, urging the Scuderia to put its full weight behind Lewis Hamilton in the championship fight, even if that means putting Charles Leclerc on the sidelines. After 12 races and with more than half of the season completed, the seven-time world champion is the better-placed of the two Ferrari drivers in the title fight.
