Ferrari drivers Hamilton and Leclerc resolve tensions after Mexico GP incident

Ferrari Formula 1 drivers Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc have resolved the tensions stemming from their controversial on-track encounter at the Mexico City Grand Prix. Following the incident, where both drivers went off track during a battle for position, the two held a private discussion during the São Paulo Grand Prix weekend to clear the air.

Lewis Hamilton confirmed that the resolution was reached directly between the two drivers without the intervention of Ferrari Team Principal Fred Vasseur. Hamilton emphasized that they maintain a high level of mutual respect and are ready to move forward.

Charles Leclerc described the matter as a closed chapter, noting that while the situation had taken on unnecessary proportions, direct dialogue helped resolve the issue. Leclerc also mentioned that his recent personal milestone, the birth of his first child, had delayed the timing of this discussion.

Fred Vasseur reiterated that while the drivers are competitive rivals, the team’s core rules regarding mutual respect and respect for the Ferrari brand remain unchanged. The team aims to focus on upcoming races following the resolution of this internal friction.
