Max Verstappen has questioned Ferrari's decision to allow Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc to race each other freely, suggesting the strategy could cost the team valuable points in the constructors' championship.

The Red Bull driver made the comments ahead of the upcoming Grand Prix, noting that intra-team battles often benefit rival teams. Verstappen emphasized that while competition between teammates can be exciting for fans, it may not always serve the team's overall objectives.

Ferrari has yet to respond publicly to Verstappen's remarks. The Scuderia currently sits behind Red Bull in the standings, and any lost points could prove crucial as the season progresses.
