Lewis Hamilton has called for 'serious talks' behind closed doors at Ferrari after Charles Leclerc cut a chicane on the first lap of the Mexico City Grand Prix, handing the lead to Hamilton before triggering a chain of events that cost the team victory. Hamilton lost second place to Max Verstappen as a result of Leclerc’s aggressive move, and Verstappen went on to win. Hamilton described the incident as the latest in a series of tensions between the pair, including Leclerc ignoring a team order in Italy and a tyre strategy dispute in Singapore. 'Ultimately, that lost us the win today,' Hamilton said.
During a red flag caused by Valtteri Bottas’ Cadillac crash, Hamilton radioed: 'We’ve got big problems. Big, big problems.' Team principal Frederic Vasseur and Leclerc have not yet commented post-race.
