What happened: Ferrari teammates Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton battled wheel to wheel during the São Paulo Grand Prix at Autódromo José Carlos Pace. Leclerc started fourth on the grid and took seventh, while Hamilton worked through the field after a 10-place grid penalty to finish ninth.

Why it matters: The battle followed internal talks between the two drivers after a lap-one clash with Leclerc in Mexico City damaged Ferrari's previous outing. The resulting eight-point haul leaves Ferrari 126 points behind Mercedes in the constructors' championship.

What to watch: Ferrari looks to close the constructor deficit over the final stretch of the 2026 season.
