Former Formula 1 team manager Peter Windsor labeled Charles Leclerc a "dirty driver" following recent friction between the Monegasque and his Ferrari teammate Lewis Hamilton. Windsor dismissed Hamilton's claims that Leclerc races him harder than others, citing Leclerc's contact with Liam Lawson in Brazil as evidence of his aggressive style across his career.
