Lewis Hamilton will not apologize for remarks after clash with teammate Charles Leclerc

Sao Paulo – Lewis Hamilton has insisted he will not apologize for his remarks following a clash with teammate Charles Leclerc at the Mexico City Grand Prix, which cost Ferrari a potential 1-2 finish. The seven-time world champion stated he would remain frustrated and that further discussions were necessary within Ferrari. Hamilton, known for his outspoken nature, said he would not be silenced and would wear his emotions on his sleeve.

The incident at the start of the race led to both Ferraris exiting the track, allowing Max Verstappen to win the race. Hamilton suggested that Ferrari needed to rethink how their drivers interact, as he felt they should have secured a dominant result. Leclerc, who recently became a father, is expected to arrive in Brazil on Friday and miss the first practice session.
