Hamilton said Ferrari cost him victory and called for serious talks after Leclerc received a five-second penalty.
- On Sunday, Ferrari teammates Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc clashed at the Mexico City Grand Prix when Leclerc overtook into Turn 4, forcing both drivers wide and allowing Max Verstappen to pass Hamilton into third.
- This incident follows a series of tensions between the Ferrari drivers this season, including previous clashes at the Italian Grand Prix and Singapore last month when Hamilton felt Ferrari refused to assist him.
