Hamilton says he won’t be silenced, still frustrated after Mexico clash

Lewis Hamilton has stated that he will never be silenced and will continue to speak his mind, despite tensions following last weekend's Mexico City Grand Prix. The seven-times world champion expressed frustration after a clash with teammate Charles Leclerc during the opening lap, which resulted in both Ferraris leaving the track and Max Verstappen claiming victory.

Hamilton, who started from pole, believes that Ferrari should reconsider how its drivers race each other to avoid similar incidents in the future. He emphasized that he remains authentic and real, and he is not going to be silenced. The Monegasque and Hamilton have not had an in-depth conversation about the incident yet, with Leclerc spending time with his family following the birth of his child.

Leclerc will arrive in Brazil on Friday and miss first practice. Hamilton acknowledged that there are conversations to be had, but he also agreed that Leclerc races him harder than other rivals on track. The two drivers joined Ferrari last year and in 2019, respectively. Hamilton expressed his respect for the team but also acknowledged the challenges of being an outspoken driver who pushes for changes within the organization.

He remains committed to winning and believes that the team can be fighting for the championship next year.
