Lewis Hamilton says Ferrari needs “serious talks” after Charles Leclerc clash cost Mexico GP win

Lewis Hamilton has called for "serious talks" at Ferrari in the wake of his clash with teammate Charles Leclerc during the Mexico City Grand Prix. Hamilton believes the incident cost the team the victory. The clash occurred on the first lap as Leclerc attempted to pass Hamilton aggressively at Turn 4, resulting in both cars leaving the track.

Leclerc received a five-second penalty after the incident, which he served in his pitstop. Max Verstappen capitalized on the situation, securing the win, while Hamilton finished second. Ferrari's driver, Kimi Antonelli, was also present in Mexico and commended the team's progress. Hamilton acknowledged that drivers had discussed the start of the race, noting that going off in Turn 1 requires giving the position back.

Both Hamilton and Verstappen have received 10-second penalties in the past for similar moves. Despite his disappointment, Hamilton expressed pride in Ferrari's improved performance and attributed the lack of a win to the incident with Leclerc.
