Who slept worst last night: Frederic Vasseur

Frederic Vasseur, the Ferrari team principal, displayed a burst of laughter during his post-Mexican Grand Prix media briefing, indicating he was exasperated by the strained atmosphere following the on-track clash between Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc.

The night was marked by debate over who was responsible for Ferrari's elimination of a potential one-two lead at the Mexican Grand Prix, with many analysts suggesting Charles Leclerc may have neglected the braking point for Turn 4. However, the most pressing issue for Vasseur was the internal crisis between his drivers, which could potentially define Ferrari's future.
