Lewis Hamilton believes Ferrari teammate Charles Leclerc races him more aggressively than other Formula 1 rivals. Hamilton's comments follow a first-lap clash at the Mexico City Grand Prix that cost Ferrari a likely victory, with Max Verstappen ultimately winning for Red Bull. Hamilton called for "serious talks" to prevent future incidents, questioning Leclerc's approach in battle.
The pair, teammates for two years, have maintained a friendly off-track relationship but have had several racing incidents this season, including a collision at Monza in September where Hamilton ran onto the gravel. Hamilton noted the pattern is consistent with previous teammates like Sebastian Vettel and Carlos Sainz. Despite the on-track tension, Hamilton emphasized his desire to win and work harmoniously with the team, acknowledging Leclerc's long-standing integration within Ferrari.
