Hamilton takes first proper pole for Ferrari, Antonelli starts fourth
- Max Verstappen won the Mexico City Grand Prix, capitalizing on an early aggressive tussle between Ferrari teammates Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc that forced both drivers off track on the opening lap.
- The intra-team rivalry escalated when both Ferrari drivers left the track battling for position, resulting in a five-second penalty for Leclerc and enabling Red Bull's Verstappen to overtake and seize the lead.
- Hamilton vented over the airwaves questioning the five-second penalty's leniency, though stewards justified it by noting that Hamilton was also off track on the inside of car 16 early on lap one.
- Ferrari boss Fred Vasseur admitted the team "failed collectively" because they held positions one and two yet lost the race, stating "The Ferrari is coming first, is coming first for the brand."
- In Sao Paulo, Vasseur met with both drivers on Thursday to establish clear guidelines, emphasizing they must "respect the brand, the team, the people working at home, the people working on track.
